Johnny, you can start the bidding at 55 than let it go to what someone wants to give. Just list one at a time every so often.

that is exactly what I do but start bid normaly is at £45,rarely ever sell for that.
I didn't make any for 2 years. so I made 6 and they all went in one week!
one guy ask me if I had any more so I sold him 4,another ask me do I have buy it now..took a gamble and stated £60 and he bought it.
the other on Ebay sold for £76. I've since sold another 5 to a customer who restores these old cobra's.
hopefully I'll get started on some more next week and that elusive Tank rack I keep meaning to make for the past year.

I disable thinking its my own email address and not pm.
RACK?
I think Suzuki still do them.
the guys here(UK)can still get them but not grab rail.
I think they retail around £75.
try your local Suzuki dealer 1st.
I was selling them for £90 inc post but at this price it is no longer worth it for me to make these.but if you still can't get one let me know and I'll work out the price.
to be honest I'm a little cheesed off with folks casual enquiries and then don't reply to my anwers.
unless they are GENUINLY interested don't ask!
don't take this personly Mark it is not aimed at you directly.

found this,just to give you an idea of what these sell for here.
I sell mine for £55.00

Duho! (Slap self to the fourhead) I meant grab rail and that sounds like a great deal. Do you do the paypal thing? And don't worry I don't take it personal. You put a lot of work into these and you deserve a certain respect. I think Allan probably feels the same way about his gauge restos. A TON of work but no one want's to pay. We're a bunch of Cheap b@st@rds - :lol:
