Okay John Borer, if this sells for asking price - it's a candidate for the Ebay Report.

If it goes....I have 15 more for $50 each ! Mud not included.
I enjoyed talking with you today Victor.
Here's another one I was watching - maybe abit more understandable - but still.......?

How about the $1,000 4:50" x 18" Metzeler tire that was on there (Evilbay) last week or so ago![:0]
Wait, wait ,wait, you mean those metzlers i took off my 79 are worth big bucks?
Another e-bay listing I like is a 6-day rear mounting bracket for around $20 or something like that, which is really 1/2 electrical conduit bracket.

I personally really enjoyed the extremelly rounded front sprocket for 15.
Has anyone seen the yellow Penton gas tank which just sold for $500+ on Ebay? Sometimes, the last piece of the puzzle is the hardest to find, it seems. I think the same seller previously had a 125 Sachs cylinder listed at $350. It was a nice cylinder on standard bore, he claimed. Price now is $250. Maybe not a bad price if the alternative is to resleeve one's cylinder.
I think that tank went overseas to our "original-crazy" friends who are very into perfect restoration and for whom the exchange rate still provides a monetary advantage. That tank was not yellow gel coat but was painted (at factory apparently) over Six Day green gel coat. So yes it apparently was original but not exactly a wonderful finish. The side plates went for big money too.
