Nothing special here just a pile of parts.

Seller: "Its nothing special just a pile of parts I'm tired of tripping over.

Me: "Yep, just a pile here I'll take them off your hands"

Though they weren't free, but it was pretty close.

What was funny is that he knew it was a West Coast, but thought the Low Pro Maiers were OEM with no cracks. He thought he had something with the rear fenders and could really care less about the swinger.

I wanted the swinger and if the fenders were legit, that was going to be a bonus. Well it turned out the fenders were Maier so I acted disappointed about the fenders and tried not to show any emotion about the swinger. I was able to haggle even lower then he was originally asking because the fenders ended up not being OEM. I think he was disappointed more then me because he really thought he had a set of Non-Cracked OEM rear fenders.

Does anyone know where I can get the blue Westcoast stickers for the side and carrier and also what is the official color of white they used on these? I want to get it looking like new but I don't want to pick the wrong color.

I'm on the fence about the fenders. Right now I have no need for them, but some time in the distant future I would like to build a racer replica and these would work out great. I really have nothing in them so they're eating nothing as we speak. I will keep you in mind if I change mine.

I hear ya. I missed one by about five minutes a few months ago for $150 and it was a +2, so I got lucky with this +4. Do you still need plastic parts? I have the tank, shrouds, and front fender that I will do nothing with.

As of right now I am uncertain what color I want the 85 to be. The dark side is saying all black. Lol. Thxs tho, and I will keep it in mind. I will soon be looking for a few more parts tho, I will be in contact with you and Ceaserthethird. My 85 so far, every part came from you too. :)
