Check out this 250r seat

[dirtface]

I was in a bidding war about a year ago on E-bay for a seat in just as good of condition as this one, maybe even a little better for my own trike. I think I won it for around $89.00, and thought I was losing it for paying that much. Check out what this one went for #4594515429 WOW!!!!

i bid on that one myself. i almost went as high as $200. it is one of the last big parts i need. i gave up at $120 i think. then i was watching it. i couldnt believe how high it went. that is just crazy!!! i didnt even pay that much for my r!!! lol who knows what was going on ?????

[dirtface]

The highest I think I have ever seen one go before this one was around $120.00 or so. This is just wild, I have seen nice complete bikes with the seat go for just a little more than that.

no way I bet he does not pay once reality sets in.

i was second high bidder on this auction.i did not want to go that high but if i had won i would have payed. if ya gotta have it ya gotta pay.

[mike from long island]

i need a seat to finish my 82 250r. i mean all i really need is a seat pan!!! ill buy new foam and a cover. i cant even find that!!!!!!!!!! i have a fellow member helping me find one. i have a lot of faith in him!!! he will succeeded he MUST!!!! lol

i am a the point right now i am going to buy a complete 81-82 250r just for a seat. then part it out!!!!!!!!! grrrrrrrrrr one day ill find one.

[dirtface]

As much trouble as you are having finding one, this would explain why this one went for such a high price. Unless someone starts reproing the pans, it isn't going to get any cheaper.

[mike from long island]

thats what i am afraid of!! lol. hopefully ill find one at a cheap buy it now price. most of my hondaline items were bought with cheap buy it now. if i have to bid against some of the big spenders i would be screwed lol like i said before it might be cheaper to buy a complete bike :beer later

[82300R]

same situation here,all i need is a seat pan at the least. ive got just about every thing else. im rebuilding my 3rd 250r 82 model. my other two have good seats so i guess i should feel lucky. i am new to posting but have been reading here for a while.

[hrc85250r]

yeah, wtf. you could totally get an exact duplicate made for half of that. what crackheads. seriously.

Or you contact the people to end the auction early... :wondering

I think I paid like $100 for my extra seat with the OEM fenders/latch/mudflaps, etc. Then the guy screwed me on shipping of $70. :( The seat cover was toast, but the foam is OK if you need the foam. I bought a Hi-Flite dessert seat for it.

well, i got a second chance offer on the seat. the high bidder punked out on everything he bid on. i offered the seller a very high price and he turned me down. it will be relisted. but i was not going to give him 350.00 based on someone that probably had no intentions of paying anyway. so just gonna have to sit back and see what happens.

[Orangecnty250r]

I'll be watching this one (not bidding. I have one)....Probably means it was bidded up in the first place. Just a side note...My 81 R was a CA bike and then TX....Not a spec of surface rust on the entire machine.....That is until I took the cover off...YUK !! So i suspect seat pans that have been more exposed to the elements are even worse and rotted right thru...Mine looks like I caught it in time...Just surface rust....gonna blast and powder coat it

[82300R]

i hear ya. i will be watching it also. i don't know who will end up winning . but i do know whoever wins will be paying a pretty penny.:crazy:

[82300R]

got it 305.00. at least it was less than the second chance offer. does this mean that now i will have 915.00 dollars worth of 250r seats? ha,ha. well i got to go try to nail a mag now.:crazy:
