07 FXDC spoke takeoffs
I hope this thread doesn't get moved because I'm seriously asking for opinions here, not offers to buy. I have a thread in the dyna classifieds listing my takeoff wheels for sale, so check there and respond if interested.
Anyway, when I first posted about swapping my spokes out for some chromed FXD mags, I had not 1 but 3 people ask me about buying my spokes from me. The first guy was solid and was just waiting for me to get the swap done. Then he backed out on me. Anyway, does anyone have an opinion as to what they should be worth? I don't have room to keep them and would never need them again so I want to move them to someone that can use them. On the other hand, I'm not looking to just give them away either and then later find out they were worth more than I got for them. I think it's going to cost me around $50 or more just to ship them. I listed them in the classifieds after the first guy backed out on me and the others that had inquired about them didn't answer my messages. I have them up for $200 or best offer - ups shipping included. Is this unreasonable? I've had no bites at all.

I recently sold my take offs on here. Mine were from an 06 FXDBI. Wheels, tires,pully and rotors. I sold them for 350 + shipping. It was $110.00 to ship them from Washington state to Maryland.UPS. I hope this helps.

That's good to know. Given that, I don't think I'm that far out of line then. I am not selling the rear rotor or pulley but am including the front floating rotor and even the rim bands and tubes in case someone wants to switch from mags to spokes, they won't have to go out and buy those.
I was going to sell them to the first guy, without the rotor or other stuff, for $100 shipped and he still backed out for some reason. Given the cost of shipping, I think $100 is too cheap but I had already committed to him for that.
If nothing happens on here, I'll probably clean them up good and put them up on ebay and see what happens.

Yes, they absolutely would be a direct fit. 19" front, 17" rear. Would possibly be an option even for someone that already has spokes but doesn't want the bike down to do something like having wheels relaced or powder coated, etc. That's what I did with the mags I bought. I paid 200 for my mags so I could send them out to chrome without losing the use of my bike. I had an offer from a guy to do a straight swap for cost of shipping but I didn't want my bike hanging on a lift with no wheels for who knew how long. I'm glad I did that because it ended up taking 6 weeks to get the chrome done and another 2 before I could get the bike in to have the wheels swapped out.
Mine aren't the smooth type rims though. No offense to anyone that has those, but in my opinion, they don't look quite right on a dyna. They are better suited to the bigger bikes.
