Set of forks, dual brake calipers and a mag front rim I'm looking at getting for my GS1000. The forks and calipers do need to be rebuilt and repainted(or stripped in the case for the forks) before installation. I'll be doing all of the rebuilding work my self, so I don't even consider that a factor, parts are cheap. I've been told by the seller to make an offer. I'm thinking 100-150. Opinions?

  That would be one heck of a deal at $100. The seller should have at least spent some effort cleaning up the parts before trying to sell them.

  Haven't bought them yet. Come to think of it 150 might be too low even. I'll start there. 200 is probably more reasonable.

  Hey, start low, you can always bargin up in price if the fellow resists. Used parts do not have much of a market.
  
  Harley parts do not bring squat in the used bike parts stores.

  I offered 150 for the forks and brake calipers and lines. The guy that has them is going to try to throw in a pair of rotors to match the forks/brakes.

  I wouldn't go any higher than $75.00.

  The forks can bring $75 alone on the used parts market.

  It is driven by geography. Motorcycle parts are dirt cheap in LA.
  
  You might check the LA Times Classifieds, on line, for competitive pricing.
