Like what? School me.. :-) The only thing that bothers me would be to pay that kind of money for 2 tecates with faded tanks. They both need oem grab bars.

both have the wrong fork boots, and the blue sticker on the front forks are for the shock reservoir.... funny thing is the correct sticker for the fork is still available from Kawasaki... neither have tool boxes... the calipers have been painter silver on one of them, the front brake line guides should have white bushings in them, they're black on one of them.... there's more but it's a mute point...

don't get me wrong there nice looking machines and I'm sure they'll bring a nice price, I doubt they'll make it over 10k... he would have better luck getting that selling them separate, there's more people with 5k to spend than 10k to spend...

now if they were truly that nice and all oem, with sequential serial #'s... I'd find a way to buy them....

no oem silencers and I dont see the bolts that hold on the owners manual tray. And why he need all those stickers and parts if they are survivors?

Anyway they are still nice.

Please correct me here, but that has shill bidding all over it-the pictures are far from detailed, all far away, there appears to be areas on the trikes that have apparent wear marks,and IMO all the spare plastics, riding apparel 1 would think they have been ridden for some hrs and then new accessories installed for the auction.I for some reason smell a rat here-but I may be off.

I can assure you they are not as nice or original as he says.... the whole auction smells of quick restoration and shill bidding.... oh well
