eBay 'specials' and other junk finds

A place to bang on about subjects close to your heart that affect us all as 400cc riders. general banter is rife, however rudeness and abuse seem to be the norm, If a bit wet round the ears best go play elsewhere. Auto pruning of items 31 days and older

Now £400 doesn't seem expensive for an RC30 toolkit after this..

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/FERRARI-330-G ... 3a6d9c6d4a

edit: It sold for over £4000!!

Im searching my hut for some old spanners and leather toolroll, say its Ferrari and wait for the bids coming in..

Got another TZR125 here.

This one is described as a "rare import". Not entirely sure whats rare about it, possibly the paint work which appears to be an attempt at a Rossi rep? Only as its a first generation TZR125 made in c.1988 I don't think Rossi was signed to them back then. So its not exactly factory rare plus I can't find purple anodized foot pegs listed in the Yamaha parts manual. But then again it could be rare as its an import, I mean it was never as if they were sold here officially and being an exotic learner legal race rep I'm sure people would spend a premium to have one imported?

Natural selection at work here. may i present this "dazzling" RS250
i was highly impressed by the front disk bolts ! part of me hopes they are not pro bolt alloy - but 99% of me suspects they are !

Educate me. Whats wrong with the bolts (apart from taste in color)?

Disk bolts are made from steel for a good reason - imagine the stresses on those bolts when you go for a handful of front brake - and if all those are made from shite alloy and sheer - well it's not a pleasant thought.
