I just bought a 83 tri moto 175 with the protec rear suspension kit, the bike runs great and looks good too, even has the sought after fast trekker super fat rear tires on it. whats a general idea what i could ebay it for? im not interested in keeping it i just bought it for resale.
thanks

You cant ask that and not post pics man! Lol,,, Seriously though, its easier to tell what someone would pay for something if you can actually see it

[Louis Mielke]

Gonna be a buyer's market kind of thing. Stock yt175s don't exactly garner huge money. I've seen plenty of clean ones bring 600-700$ Pro-tec kit? Might bump you into the 900-1000 area but you have to find a buyer who WANTS a tri-moto like that. Not exactly big money bikes.

youll see it on ebay this week i just havent had a chance to take pics of it yet, i got to clean the layer of 20+ year dust off it before i snap any pics its almost brown in color from sitting, either way its a good bike in good shape runs excellent.

I would push it Outside in the light and if it is going to be on Ebay you need more than one photo. Otherwise it's ony worth $150 bucks!

... and wash it and put $10 worth of shock boots on the forks.

Take off the rear fenders for a couple pics to show off the rear suspension.

[hawaiirider]

i cant decide if i want to repaint it or not before i list it, the plastics have no cracks at all, seat is perfect too, its a barn find..

[SteveCZ28]

dont paint it. just clean it really good

[RDH/86200X]

Yeah. Clean it up good but leave the patina its more of a collectors item than a rider.

[hawaiirider]

man this bike is fast, will beat a stock 200x no problem!

They are insanely fun machines. I had a 125 here at the chucklab for a while and it was bone stock other than oil injection and airbox delete and it was LOADS of fun! I couldnt imagine a 175 with rear suspension would be any less fun.

take and clean her up real well and keep it for a month or two, play around on it and THEN see if you want to sell it

That was my first full size trike I was 12 and it was a lot of fun my buddy had a blaster that was a little quicker
but not by much. Just thinking about it brings back some good times.

You'd be hard pressed to get major action on eBay with it looking like that. As far as it being special because of the pro-tec, I would think that more people here would be interested than anywhere else. The general public has no idea whether it came with suspension, and many may see it as a hack job if they don't know what they are looking at.

Clean it up, be very descriptive, especially with the rear suspension.
Personally I recommend a 10 day auction, not buy it now.

Offer shipping if at all possible.

@hawaiirider so what did you end up selling it for on eBay?
