stock Z1 900 carbs

so what would a set of stock Z1 900 carbs with velocity stacks be worth??

worn rings for starters!:laugh: what kindof shape are they in?

"as removed" from a running bike a few years back. So been sitting, complete but need kits

elaborate on the worn rings

no air filter means you suck all sorts of crap into the engine and that will scuff the cylinder walls and rapid ring wear can and will result.

73-early 74s with bungs on bottom worth more then late 74-75 carbs. Depends on condition, are slides free, do fuel inlets leak ? Id say approx $125 to 150 for a set needng work. Now that private sellers are locked out of Ebay due to having to take all kinds of payments, they will be harder to find and more expensive. I had a early set listed on here in classifieds for $150 and didnt get a hit so I put them on one of my bikes so what do I know.

it seems they "should " be worth somthing more than the cost a good tire goes for...i guess some folks really are pro sellers and that would make them a market item for them for sure....
but as was mentioned before..... i listed a bunch of stuff in the classifieds here and got no responses.... and i thought i priced em for a decent/to low asking price.....the velocity stacks seem to fetch some bucks by themselves....maybe a good cleaning and polish and stacks installed.....and great photo would show em off a bit......ive seen guys do that on e-bay and they go a bit higher....but on there you see stuff going way hi...and do a search and similiar to same items getting no bids.....go figure....i been just giving stuff to folks and hoping they use it ......good luck on em.....craig

I gave up, I listed them on Craigslist and some guy {seriously} wanted to send me a check for $2300, take $150 for the carbs and $100 for my trouble and send him the remaining $2050 by Western Union and he would have a guy pick them up. By his wording he was definetly in a foreign country. Wanted to be sure he could trust me for him to send the check by overnight UPS. I told him to send it to me c/o Billings FBI Office attn internet fraud dept. Next day I got an email from a guy offering to perform oral sex on me. You cant make this stuff up. I pulled the ad and am done with Craigslist, its a very strange place, but it is free !

I have a collection of those scam checks. It costs them about 35 dollars to overnight fedex a check to you. So I figure I can scam them a little in return. It works so far, everytime I list something on craigs I get one. My collection is growing...

I wish I had thought of that but I was so darn mad that someone would think I was that stupid. I really didnt want to have any more to do with then either. The ironic part is I called the FBI and was told being as I didnt fall for the scam there was nothing they could do even though I gave them all the info with the email adrres and all. Your tax dollars at work.....or not !!!!!

I have the check sent to my work so they dont do a drive-by on my house.
