    i hate when this happens

    all these parts are like brand new and there is just about every 350x part needed to build a complete MINT bike. i hate when people part out perfectly good trikes!

    he's parting out nearly every part on the whole trike in seperate auctions, sounds like alot of hassle to me. I don't understand, the cdi in a seperate auction than the harness, front axle spacers, hub, and axle seperate??? I don't know why people do this, for the extra $300 you will get??? Is it reallyworth it???

    Because in his case the "extra $300" is probably more like $600+. Face it, unless you can find a diehard colector with lots of $ the trike wouldn't be worth as much as the parts are. Three wheeler resale tends to top out alot sooner then the parts resale does. Just the big stuff right now it bringing $1440 (rear fenders = $200, carb = $200, frame $180, tank = $200, rear garnish = $100, engine = $560) and the parts don't close for a few days.

    Unhappy

    **edited** looser! That sucks!
    Another one bits the dust. Although we all need parts, that bike was mint.
    Part out the chit bikes save the mint ones.
    Business smart or not I'd punch him in the face and ride over him.
    yeah whatever dude.

    Look guys this is the way I see it .. he shouldnt but he did. He owns it. he can do what he wants with it. Now if anyone wants to save this trike buy all the parts other than that, its his. So he has the rights to do what he wants.
    I am sure if one of you would of gave him like 3000$ cash when it was together he would of sold it.... He obviously wants to make some cash. Maybe he paided like 2500$ for this and knows he cant get what he paid and doesnt want to lose $$.. I say its his let him do what he wants.

    Sorry guys thats just the way I feel. I would do the same.
