Ha.. he's dreamin. If that sells i'm taking the one off my RM and putting it on ebay.

$500 would be a much more realistic proce but gotta admit I do love the FMF porky heads and wish I had one

Ah but it has the magical NOS factor. For NOS builder it is worth an extra grand. One of my buddies spent a grand on a NOS TT500 speedo, you know the one that dangles in space. So anything is possible.

[DR]

oh yeah anything is possible and obscene prices for rare bits doesn't surprise me in the least but I was just quoting what I thought a 'realistic' price for an aftermarket item. Unfortunately as soon as someone pays big dollars it then sets a precidence and word spreads from there. We are our own worst enemies

Ain't that the truth.

He advertised this heap of shit on Gumtree and I told him then that he was dreaming and no-one would pay anything more than 300-500 for it and here it is on eBay and he still wants 3 GRAND

Yeah well hopefully BigK sells his Fox Forx for 3 grand soon..... gives me 6 grand sitting in the shed and a 150% return on my original investment.

That XS250 ad is hilarious...."once you put the valves in it will be worth a lot of money"!!! What the..yeh like from a $200 parts bike to a $500 runner...holy moly. If he sells that for 3 grand I'm selling my old XS250 that runs for 4 grand!!   

[Canam370]

Good idea Greg. Be best to sell now while it is still running! The countdown clock will be wound pretty tight by now........

[shortshifter]

Yeh that add for the XS is very funny!I like the note at the end"I need to sell the bike today thanks."If all you hundreds of buyers would be so kind!!!

Shit - $1000 for a NOS TT500 speedo??   haha - anyone that wants to pay that much can have my spare NOS!!!  (1K7)  Shit, for another grand, he can have all NOS brackets too!

But seriously, did he really pay $1000 for one?     They don't come around too often, but you do see them occasionaly.  It's the brackets that are harder to find than the speedos....

Talk of Porcupine Heads, here's one on an rather modified MX125 that someone's offering to swap over. http://cgi.ebay.com.au/YAMAHA-MX125-VMX_W0QQitemZ150390853301QQcmdZViewItemQQptZAU_Motorcycles?hash=item2303fe4eb5

yep thats what a NOS TT500 man expects to pay, don't ask about stock TT500E exhausts
