Around here the bike breakers' going rate for used parts in good shape is 50% of MSRP.
For interest's sake, what's a new one worth?Fred Hill, S'toon

Given the baby chicken mindset of the average XS owner here (cheep, cheep...), the seller probably will own this for a while. But these weren't inexpensive when still available (I recall paying over $300 for a new replacement tach for my 'E' when you could still get them from Yamaha) and you'll pay a premium for NOS parts when they've been out of production as long as these have.Last edited by crazy steve; 09-15-2014, 10:52 AM.Fast, Cheap, Reliable...
