Elka Race Shock

garth285 · January 7th, 2015, 08:27 AM

This isnt my auction but I figured I'd share it here, looks like a good deal!

http://www.ebay.com/itm/2010-Ninja-2...d64fb0&vxp=mtr

Worldtraveller · January 7th, 2015, 08:41 AM

It's a good (but not great) deal, but thanks for the heads up.

Ghostt · January 7th, 2015, 08:45 AM

That's more than I paid for the bike

verboten1 · January 7th, 2015, 09:17 AM

$300 shipping is a good deal?

I almost bid on it......glad I caught that

*edit* he fixed the shipping price.

garth285 · January 7th, 2015, 09:20 AM

Half price of new? I looked online and saw they were $629???

verboten1 · January 7th, 2015, 09:22 AM

BIN is $400, shipping is $300

$400+$300=$700

garth285 · January 7th, 2015, 09:26 AM

hahaha holy ****!!!! I just saw he has $300 shipping!!!! WTF lol.... maybe I'll be nice and message him and tell him he ****ed up

I doubt he messed up, at all. That is a very common practice on eBay... setting the sale price stupid low, then making up the difference with the shipping charge.

The page I'm looking at says $20 shipping, which is about right.

I viewed this earlier and it was $300, now it says $20.

Can confirm.. it WAS $300. I guess I stand corrected from my previous post and the dude actually did make a mistake and corrected it.

verboten1 · January 7th, 2015, 12:01 PM

probably due to the messages he received

garth285 · January 7th, 2015, 12:02 PM

Yep I emailed him. He probably just messed up.

tfkrocks · January 7th, 2015, 12:14 PM

Might as well get this brand new Ohlins then:

http://www.absolutemotorcycleparts.c...duct/ka110013/

Shipping is a good amount since it's from overseas, but the total for me came out to under $600.

garth285 · January 7th, 2015, 01:54 PM

if no one bids and get sit for $320 it would be a nice deal. I'm not bidding on it, I just saw it and figured I'd show it to anyone who was looking.

verboten1 · January 7th, 2015, 04:33 PM

I'm watching it...lol I'll lose

Worldtraveller · January 7th, 2015, 06:47 PM

Unfortunately, I won't have the funds to start on this year's projects for about another month. And while I'm not shy in general about using credit....not for racing stuff.

bruce71198 · January 10th, 2015, 07:44 PM

Any one want an Ohlins? I have one for $2800 and it comes with a 2009 ninja race bike attached to it at no extra charge.

^^^^^^^^ Rofl.

Would like the Ohlins, but already have too many Ninjettes and don't need the bike!

Is this a REAL Ohlins shock or is it a counterfeit chinese knock-off?

I think the shipping is part of the "deal" on how they make money though.

$230 "airmail" shipping to FL.

You're thinking is right, it's an asia-made version of Ohlins...

I have four ninjas, and have two track/race bikes I need to sell (2008 and pregen 2005).

Otherwise would love to help!

How can you tell? I've ordered a bike part from them that was genuine oem. Granted it's probably different when it comes to aftermarket.

Ah ok. Didn't look too hard into it since I wasn't planning on getting one, but good to know for reference.

That's tempting. Got a link?
