Clearing out my garage,
https://i123.photobucket.com/albums/o297/Gfxs/DSCF3699.jpg
and found some parts a mate has given my of a husqavana 600cc dirtbike.

The parts i found that i wanted to get rid of are :

Gold renthal bars
https://i123.photobucket.com/albums/o297/Gfxs/DSCF3701.jpg

Front rim and new bridgestone tyre
https://i123.photobucket.com/albums/o297/Gfxs/DSCF3703.jpg

Rear rim and new bridgestone tyre
https://i123.photobucket.com/albums/o297/Gfxs/DSCF3702.jpg

Husqavana forks
https://i123.photobucket.com/albums/o297/Gfxs/DSCF3700.jpg

Anyone know what these are worth, either seperatly or all together as a set?

Cheers[/img]

I'll give you a quid for the lot, if you can deliver.

Best bet is trawl Ebay and see if they have similar?

Quid lol.
i know the renthals are worth more than 20, as the fake imitations are 20 just phoned local shop lol.

Ebay dosnt come back with much except the husqavana super moto tyres, not offroad ones. Sad

You say E-Bay dont show up much, That dont mean people dont want it, it means people havent got it for sale, Put them on there with a either buy it now price or a reserve on what you think its worth, You may be surprised
Tony,
Are you selling the compresser?

The bars are worth something, put them on eBay to find out how much but it's not going to be big amounts. Take it they've not been bent?

Same with the wheels and the forks, at a guess I'd have thought £75-100 per wheel and about the same for the forks (maybe a bit less though) assuming they're straight.

They'll be worth more separately than as a set.

What bike's it all off and how old?

Well that will be new, not used....

If it aint on ebay, then thats a good sign that you may get a bidding war going.

Right-way up forks and drum brakes all-around suggests a pretty old bike - suspect you're going to have to be very lucky to find someone that wants it, to be honest.

@iloveriding - I can get the compressors again,
how much are you looking ay paying?

@1930 Ariel - Ill go check that in a minute, and i belive that it had drum brakes. ill try get some more pics if it helps yo out!

@Ste - No not bent, bikes been broken mate sold the engine off and has given me the spares off it to clutter my garage with, Ill try get a model number but as far as i know A Husqavana 600cc dirtbike, but no model as of yet ill ask him.

@iooi - ye i understand that, just if the brand new imitations are worth 20 i should get around that for some used ones surely

@G - Ive been told because it was a dirtbike the drum brakes and normal forks were common on the bike trials bikes, not sure how accurate that is tho.

Anyone got any ideas on cash for the stuff then?

+1 on the eBay front. Just put them up with 99p no reserve (i think there's a 5p listing day tomorrow too?)

Did this with a pair of boxed NOS Kangol Lap Belts which I picked up from my Grandpa's garage when we were clearing his house out a few years back - I thought they looked cool and that was the reason for picking them up! Was clearing my cupboard out last year and I came across them again, needed some cash to get my scoot through it's MOT so I though I'd get £15 or so if I put them on eBay. Put up a brief description and all the labels I could find on them into the listing...5days later I received payment to the tune of £174 for them!

For some bizarre reason I hadn't actually thought that they might be useful to someone restoring a classic car (they were apparently for a Morris Minor IIRC)! But like has been said before, as long as you list them properly, you will get the going rate for them - it's good for sellers as they never get too badly ripped off (unless you do something stupid like mis-spell the title). Not quite as many bargains to be had for buyers though...

Cheers, Stu

On a side note, when will 'USD' become the 'Right Way Up'? There's probably more bikes out there today with USD forks than there are with normal ones! Gotta love the power of the buzz-word, eh?

It was a dirt bike definitely.
A quick google reveals Husky moved to disc brakes around the mid 80s.
I'm not sure Husky ever made trials bikes.

I don't think you're going to get a good idea of what sort of price you can expect with out offering them out there - I wouldn't be expecting a lot, however.


Far from all bikes have Upside down forks - for instance looking at the new BMW F650GS and F800GS today; the budget '650' model still has 'right way up' forks despite the 800 model having upside down (they share the same engine and frame).
Having the thinner bit on top does seem 'natural' anyway kinda.

because the first forks were RWU forks... therefore they are the right way up.

thanks for that nugget, but it wasn't what I was asking Laughing . Not that what I was asking was a serious question anyway, merely a quip at the expense of buzz-words.

if the first forks invented were IN THE STYLE of USD forks, then they would be RWU forks...

they werent... so USD forks will NEVER be known as RYU forks...

...is what i meant.

Propper forks are girder. Anything else is just a fad.
