Talking Scored big time

Found a guy on Craigslist that was unloading some parts he had bought but never used. We set up a time to meet and this is what I got for $160 bucks. I priced everything off of JPcycles web site just for a reference.

Mustang smooth driver backrest kit. $239.99
Mustang smooth studded backrest pad. 139.99
Sissy bar $89.99
Mustang smooth sissy bar pad with black studds. $119.99
Harley davidson 53743-97 detachable two up luggage rack. $210.00

I paid $160 for all this, Mint shape stuff.

Well, how did I do? Tell me your thoughts.

You did well, most of the stuff on my bike ive bought slighty used. Alot of money can be saved that way. Let the other guys experiment with what they want buy buying all kinds of stuff, then we can luck out by buying it from them barely used at a much cheaper price !!!
