Fleabay shenanigans
« on: February 21, 2012, 12:01:07 AM »
Anyone need a new drive shaft? This looks to be good for about another 20 feet or so: http://www.ebay.com/itm/1986-BMW-K75-DRIVE-SHAFT-/180817672602?pt=Motorcycles_Parts_Accessories&vxp=mtr&hash=item2a1992b99a

And it's described to be in "good condition." This is just criminal (at least by Motobrick law).

OK then, just had to vent...

Nothing wrong with selling for rebuild, but that is good for one good turn of the throttle.

In his defense, I actually emailed him and he responded very promptly by changing the description, and even requested information about how to gauge wear on BMW drive shafts :2thumbup:

I referred him to Dr. Hubbard's renown thesis on splientology.
