I reckon I could make some new ones from scratch for slightly less than that......

He's got one of those floating rear brake arms though:-

And a very rare fuel cap for £490 with a cracked o ring, which probably won't fit any tank you might find. But you can use as a paperweight!

I cant believe any of the 11 watching will be daft enough to bid... oh wait, they're in America. Aren't they just about to vote Trump in as their president? Good chance somebody will bid then!

Looking at their other stuff, any takers for a 'Ducati Corsa Vented Clutch Housing 24310291A'?

I would imagine some of those watching will be doing it for novelty value.

I saying that, some people are lazy and just go and look on ebay and nowhere else, (ok, this guy's prices are ridiculous), they don't look around.

When I had my Commando a few years ago I would keep a look out for any bits that could be useful, anybody know that feeling??? , and I came across a part that was ridiculously and well overpriced from a well known dealer in Norton spares, up to four times the normal price in one case. I looked at his other items and there were lots of parts at inflated prices, I then went onto his shop's website and those exact same parts were available at normal prices, obviously taking advantage of the fact that some people are lazy and won't search around and taking the chance that someone will pay that price.
That particular shop didn't surprise me as their customer service from some of the staff was shocking.

As for Trump?, The CIA , FBI or whoever runs America will sort it if he gets the Presidency, it may come to pass that he has something in common with J.F. Kennedy, and it's not a large family.

Amen to that, but I can't blame him. Theres enough stock there and he's got enough feedback to indicate its a business not a private seller. With all those parts probably sitting in his garage doing nothing with no plans for them, and clearly no MOC to swap them into working bikes that need them... why not make a good profit with stupid prices? There's more than enough idiots out there with more money than sense... I'm convinced that he's getting by just fine without our approval. Just glad I don't need any of those parts!
