The steel rim in the foreground, the partial Beetle in the background and the gallon jug with a string............

What do you think the string is for?
 
I've seen much, much worse.. but that reminds me of this airhead I just picked up off craigslist. He was also asking $3500. I got it for $500.

Here's the main picture from the ad. If he had panned over you would have seen a much worse scene than what's in the OPs picture.

When I pulled out of his yard/driveway, there were two gangster wannabes with sagging pants mean-mugging me going down the street.. and they were riding horses. Haha.

Yup.



Yup. One of the Samsonite cases is locked, though.. and I don't have the key. Same for the fairing. I was able to open the top case with a key I had laying around. A Taiwanese tool set and some old insurance paperwork were all I found.

Post a pic of the key, someone might have a match. IRRC, they're the same as the luggage keys......
 
Those look like the kind of bikes I was getting pictures of down here in Central Texas a couple years ago. I posted that I wanted to trade my Triumph America for an Airhead. Ended up getting a beautiful bike, but it was the diamond in the rough patch of replies.

The key I have for the Vetter top box was just some random key I found that happened to work if I wiggled it enough. It's marked C415A.

I just confirmed again that it will not open the pocket on the Vetter fairing, apparently marked GB312.

For my "truly sad craigslist" find, the guy was asking $3500. I told him what he had and offered $500. He said someone in Texas was going to drive up and give him $4200. I told him to take that offer. Now.

He called back a couple days later and the deal was struck.

As a matter of fact, I might have a set of keys from my old Samsonites?....I'll look around.

Very cool. I can't find any markings on the locks, but just to refresh your memory:

Hey Nathan, you might be able to get half of that back, by selling the fairing and top box!:D

I've actually done quite well selling fairings in the past. This is really a nice looking set of Vetter fairing, Vetter top box, Samsonite luggage, and the associated mounts.. but they're not my style. I would love to get half my money back out of it by selling these!

Now back to your regularly scheduled thread..
