| I know there are some parts that are unobtanium, and some are | |
| going for eye watering prices, but every so often you come | |
| across one where you wonder what planet they are on. This is one | |
| in question. Yes, it's NOS, and I've never seen another in bare | |
| metal, but a hundred and twenty-five quid for an air-filter box? | |
| I've seen Harley WLA ones for less, and they are much rarer. | |

| You know which one to go for then! The motor looks in pretty | |
| good shape for that price. | |
| He's also got a pair of rusty but new fork shrouds for the same | |
| price: | |

| It's bizarre, because as you say, other things seem at quite | |
| sensible prices. | |
| I suppose it's not surprising that people may view NOS items as | |
| having some elevated value, but in this case, it seems way off | |
| the mark. | |
| There was a guy selling a horribly rusty blue air cleaner from | |
| (he said) a Swedish army or Police bike. | |
| It kept on appearing at lower prices, until it eventually went | |
| for about �25 I think. | |
| Of course all the stuff I have is worth far more than that! :D | |

| I saw one of these at the S&T run in Crieff. Gorgeous, and note | |
| the suspension under the engine a la Harley Softail. | |
| Way ahead of its time. | |

| No idea, but I'd like to know. There's also the container load | |
| of parts that was sold at the Yugoslav auction... | |
| I'd have bought them myself if I'd known. | |
| Better than money in the bank... | |
