    So, as the topic says. I have a complete front end from my 1981 XJ750RH. Forks, both triple trees, NO STEERING STEM (I needed it for my front end swap), wheel, brakes, master cylinder, T-bar for the brakes (bolts up to the lower triple so that the single MC drives both front calipers). Top triple has the bar mounts for 7/8" bars, I have the stock bars as well, and the covers. Also, from what I understand, a piece of pure un-obtainum, a near pristine condition seca headlight bracket. I think I even still have the bucket and light in the shop too.

    Anyway, I have no idea what this is all worth. I'd MUCH prefer to sell it whole, but I need a value. I don't want to rip anyone off on here, quite the contrary, I'd LOVE to give someone a deal on a complete front end, but I know new aftermarket forks alone go for $300/pair, and this is the _whole_ front end, so ... yeah. Any ideas? Anyone shopping? Offer?

    Edit: I should say, too, this came off a riding, rocking bike. It needs a new tire, but everything else has been working fine, including the anti-dive units. I will also say, I have NOT rebuilt either the forks or the brakes, however I did bleed the brakes just a couple weeks ago. I also removed the caps on the top of the forks to have a look, and one had a _small_ amount of corrosion (right side as you sit on the bike facing forward, and smaller than a nickel) and the other is pristine.

    well i throw in here for you then...

    not quite PURE un-obtainium. ive got two in my garage. theres one on Ebay for $10 with no bids and 2 days remaining...

    there are upper and lower fork braces (clamps) for $134 (if you got both from the same seller) or you can get just the upper for $20 from a different seller...

    ive seen wheels for about $25 and the same for brake calipers...

    with EVERYTHING you have listed, id probably offer $200 for it all IF i needed it because it would be convenient to get it all in one package...

    hope that helps...

    Honestly, someone has to want it first. I'd say $200, but you won't even get that unless someone really needs it.

    If I didn't have a spare set I'd cobbled together from flea-bay parts already, I'd be all over it Switch.
    I could use a spare headlight bracket assembly however, LT wanna post the link?
