Can't believe they are at over $500 with 14 minutes to go

When Don asked me, "What do you have on your Valkyrie that's not on other
Valkyries?", that's what I showed him 

-Mike "Bought new from Honda of Laurens for $135... "

Better then the stock market. I love the look, but not for $600. 

[John Schmidt]

About 2 min. to go and at $585.  Wow, how foolish.

[Valkorado]

Holy sheep chit!  Glad I already have my set, they were on the bike when I purchased it.

The seat in your picture... is it the one you use, or the one that's just for looks?

I'm confused Mike. Are you saying it's worth $600? Don't get me wrong, obviously it's worth what anyone will pay but, while I can see it's original cost being reasonable $600 is a stretch in my book.

The Cobra radiator side covers were around $350 when you could buy them new. The other billet stuff was
pretty high, too... the magazine article explains to me why it is expensive to produce stuff like that

I have numerous bits of Cobra billet on my bike. I got good deals on many of them, I got my radiator
side covers new out of the cut-out bin at Honda of Laurens around 2008.  I paid the going
eBay price for the lightbar and the fender rail. Some people just HAVE to have them... .

-Mike "maybe they're fools, Ida know..."

Don't get me wrong. I didn't call you a fool. Just posted what seems really pricey for even unobtanium to me. I had no idea what they went for new. Glad you got good prices on yours. I've gotten good deals and probably overpaid at times for something I REALLY wanted too.

[hubcapsc]

Heck, Dave, I know that. The word came up in this thread, though,
I was just running with it...

What about this guy selling $9.00 apiece air filters from Auto-Zone?   

[MarkT]

I have them on Deerslayer but I didn't document what I paid for them.  I'm sure it wasn't anything like $350 though.  I could see me putting out around a hundred...

It's mostly for show, built on a Corbin pan and not real comfy for long rides. The pics below are my daily ride seat, made on a naked Ultimate King I bought from Des and had the same guy cover it along with a matching backrest. The tank and fender bibs are the same in both pics.



Close up shot.

[f6john]

   Can't remember how long ago or what I paid but I always felt reflectors belonged on bicycles not motorcycles so when I had a chance I snagged a set.


   I've got a set of billet Cobra swing arm covers still in the packaging, I was a ebay hog for a while.

[Joevalk]

Well I guess I'm the Fool
I won a quarterly bonus from work, so really I only paid $99 for the set of cobra side covers

They're $10 at O'Reilly's.  I've lost a couple over the years and changed from double-sided tape to the heavy duty velcro circles.  They seem to hold better and if I do lose one, easy to replace.

Joe, all I can say is wow!! Lol

[Joevalk]

Again

[Jersey mike]

I saw these this morning on Ebay still attached to a damaged radiator. they seem to be in decent shape but have a cracked reflector...for only $75.00
