How sad to see an Anniversary model broken for parts.

(:-})

That was my thoughts exactly when I saw the parts from one on Ebay

This firm have broken an Anniversary model and have the Remus cans and Proflex shock, they still have the Harris rearsets which were put up a few weeks ago as well -

they're asking silly money for most of the parts, as it's been said, sad to see a 50th being broken...

I didn't think the proflex and the Remus cans were too bad, and the rearsets aren't that strong considering all the bit's are there.

Shame but looked a bit rotten/rusty . I wanted the damper but it's sold already

It works fine. Have you switched the power supply on for your computer, I shall re-phrase that. Does your computer have lots of flashing lights on it

No but his bike does...

your right about the exhaust being a fair price mate, but I think the proflex is expensive, when you factor in the cost of a service and possible new spring, you'd be better off with a new nitron or something similar.

Yep that shock is way over priced . I'd put a little more to it and but a new one .
What I got my proflex for was the right money when you factor in service and new spring

If it is for a storm it's a left sided exhaust !!

[VTRDark]

Interesting, looks like the renegade ones or something. Reminds me of the one I listed when Player was on the buy up. That balance pipe is big.... I wonder if there are sump clearance issues there. Too pricey IMO at that price I would want them polished up first.

I've just been and collected some parts from him this morning.
Nice bloke as it happens but when I told him of the forums sadness over it's breaking, he said that when he buys a bike for breaking he wont tell the seller what he's going to do with it anymore as most owners are gutted that their pride and joy is being stripped.
The storm had been dropped and was an insurance write-off, too much bodywork damage. Though only a couple of damaged panels
The problems of having storms that dont fetch much.

Still I got the shock for £200 and the rear sets for £180 which seems reasonable to me. I wouldnt have paid more but thats the scottish blood in me
Again having mentioned the reaction to the high prices he said he puts them up high and then will accepts less, like the Remus cans he took £100 instead of the £150 asking price but if someone pays the listed price straight off he's obviously happy

Now to get the shock serviced.

[VTRDark]

Thanks for the update on that. I guess we can blame the insurance companies then as they so easily write things off. There are times when cost should not be a factor, but unfortunately most things in life don't go that way.
