#14 Ventura rack

**nzspokes** · 14th May 2014, 19:10

Im after a #14 Ventura rack, just the top bit and dont mind if its broken the mount as they all seem to do. The shorter sport version would work as well.

yep $300 and a bag of chips

**wynw** · 14th May 2014, 20:07

i have one and also the next size up, make an offer

I have a chrome one with matching brackets for a cb1300, apparently the same bracket is use for many Hondas. I don't intend to use. If that is any use to you let me know I'll bring it over next chance we get to visit Sharry. Or maybe bring it to a sass night?
Near mint condition as Crome does not wear as easy as paint. Missing one of the lock nuts. We can discuss price when you have seen it, I am not looking for moonbeams on it.

Stupid phone / Tapatalk, apologies in advance.

I have the sport rack from my wrecked CBR900 ( the large rack was on it so is now property of the insurance company )

Free to you. ( Provided it fits, of course. )

Swings and roundabouts n all that.

Am heading up to Auckland to test ride a couple of bikes on Sunday so can probably drop it off.

If anyone has a chrome sport rack I'd be interested.

Sorry. I will hang onto it for now. Am looking at a Blackbird without a rack at the moment. Will know next week if I'm getting it. If it's a the wrong size though, I'll let you know and you can have it.

I think the reserve is $5750 but I wont go that high so maybe not this one unless the seller plays ball. He's listed it several times but never got a bid past about 5k. I think 5k is about right for a private sale. Any more than 6 and it's getting into dealer territory.

If its what you want and like this one, offer him $5500. Its a shit load of bike for the money. And to not get it seems pointless over a few hundred dollars if you really like it. You dont seem to turn bikes over a lot so long term a few dollars is no big deal.

Yeah, maybe. On the other hand, there's no real hurry and having monitored a lot of the same bikes getting passed over and re listed in the last year or so I see a lot of bikes for sale with few actually selling. When they do sell, it's usually Johnny on the spot to get something with a realistic ( low ) reserve, or it's the opposite, where people get an emotional attachment to something they want and have a bidding war with someone (who may not even be a genuine bidder) to beat someone else and pay far more than market value. Often shill bidding looks fairly obvious too. I've seen a few get bumped up in the closing minutes only to be re-listed later "due to time wasters" etc. That's the big bugbear I have with trade me. Would rather deal with a classified and do it the old fashioned way when you just offer and counter-offer till both parties either agree or walk away. Buyers market and all that.

The 1997 was the fastest of the lot too. Not that I intend to do 300kph! The blue one is in better shape and has fuel injection. If that's what a dealer wants for a '97 with slightly less kms, surely a tidier 05 with slightly more kms isn't worth much more privately? Bit of a conundrum, I think.

Buy the one you like. Ive made the mistake of buying the second option. Its easier in the long run for a few dollars.
