Title: need help putting a price on unobtanium parts
Post by: amamet on May 10, 2015, 01:38:40 PM: lent a friend a set of lemans 1 footpegs, brackets with heel guards, linkages and shifters, the whole 9 yards. he said he would replace them now he says name a price for them. anyone have an idea where to start?, anyone want to sell theirs. this person has the money to pay the right price. i also would rather not get piece by piece if possible
thx
allen

Post by: mtiberio on May 10, 2015, 07:45:39 PM: I see the shift lever has been damaged anbd crudely repaired...

I used to hoard parts, then I decided I'd sell them, and if I need them later I'll buy them at the prevailing price on ebay. Made me some cash, and made space in my garage. Haven't regreted selling a single part.

Post by: Two Checks on May 11, 2015, 04:13:03 AM: If they are unobtanium you can't buy them as they don't exist!
Title: Re: need help putting a price on unobtanium parts
Post by: dsrdave on May 11, 2015, 05:24:10 AM: I've got a pair of pegs, brackets and guards. Nothing of the shift/brake parts extra.

Post by: lrutt on May 11, 2015, 06:51:05 AM: wow, didn't realize those bits were so valuable.

They really aren't that impressive looking, and no matter how you put things together on an LM1, the brake pedal wants to foul the exhaust unless you adjust it up quite high.
Title: Re: need help putting a price on unobtanium parts
Post by: amamet on May 11, 2015, 06:54:31 AM: Thx Dave , but I think you emailed me a while ago that the heel guards were off a cx100. Am I right or am I mixing up my emails?

Post by: amamet on May 11, 2015, 06:59:39 AM: No there not that impressive but as afar as valuable it's like the side stand on my 74 Ducati 750gt, useless, dangerous POS, but it you want one for your bike it's going to cost you over $200. I guess it's about having as much of the correct stock pieces

you bend it outward, which of course cracks the chrome...

Post by: dsrdave on May 11, 2015, 07:40:26 AM: I'm pretty sure I have the heel guards off a CX or LM 1.
Title: Re: need help putting a price on unobtanium parts
Post by: amamet on May 11, 2015, 08:04:39 AM: Are the heel guards flat or have raised ridges?
Title: Re: need help putting a price on unobtanium parts
Post by: mtiberio on May 11, 2015, 11:26:47 AM: early sp had the same heel guards.
Title: Re: need help putting a price on unobtanium parts
Post by: Arizona Wayne on May 11, 2015, 11:54:11 AM: I'll bet the LM1, LMII, CX100 linkage/parts are all the same. These look just like my `81 CX has. ;)
