Default Fort Worth Swapmeet - any good?

Hey, There is a swapmeet in Fort Worth on Sunday at Will Rogers. Never been to one - are these a waste of time or are there usually interesting things to waste $'s on?

Thanks for any feedback.

I don't know. But I will be off this Sunday, so I may go and check it out. I have a set of 07 RKC laced wheels with twelve miles on them, and a light bar with passing lamps and blinker lights, a complete exhaust system, and a few other 07 odds and ends

Default Are they hit and miss?

Would be good to know. It's an hour away from me and I plan to check it out in the morning. Looking for a wrapped front fender for my Avon Cobra 120/70/21 and chin spoiler for a 12' wide glide. So far, looks like I will have to make my own out of fiberglass.

I can't comment on the Ft Worth one...but I hit a ton of 'em up here in New England. I love swap meets.

Yeah sometimes you walk out with nothing, other times you walk out hitting the jackpot!

I prefer outfitting my bike with quality "old original stuff"....versus getting that cheap kuryakin brand china crap from the stealership that everyone else has.

I generally make a list of things I want to keep an eye out for, before I go. But sometimes you just see an impulse thing. Negotiate the price. Can get cool stuff for dirt cheap. Should see the rare chrome eagle sissy bar I got on the back of my bike...got it for around 10 bucks. Got lots of little old things on mine from swap meets.

Save your money. Nothing but a bunch of over-priced junk.

Actually didn't make it after all. Instead, found a 21" wrapped fender (Klock works - Level) on clearance at Dallas HD in Garland. Gonna cut the level portion out and tap my own holes to fit the WG. Will send a pic after powder coating.
