a set of four mathauser finned brake pads? I think it's high but not silly high. i'd pay £60 for a single pair of they were split.

LOL at the tool that offered him $40 on a BIN!!! Oops, was that you waxin?

lovely blocks , proper pedigree stuff
and because of that someone wanted to pay 255 bucks for them , and only a few people would even care they were on your build lol

no I clocked it though
i was going to send him one saying i bet your glad you didnt exept the 40 bucks, odd though as i got a set from oz mid last year for fook all

gossa · « **Reply #11 on:** February 20, 2008, 09:52 PM »

I just came into a set but they were corroded to fook.....

i reckon he knew he'd get more than $40

Waxintaxin · « **Reply #12 on:** February 20, 2008, 09:55 PM »

can you imagine, on antiques roadshow," and now here we have some brake pads from the 70's or 80's, and dont they look just smashing, ooooohhhhhh these would fetch about £150 at one of countries top auction houses" and watch everybody running to there sheds to see what brake blocks are on the royal enfield

Rombloke · « **Reply #18 on:** February 21, 2008, 09:40 PM »

thats some serious collector/builder to pay that for a set of brake pads....like rich said, theres not that many people that would notice a detail like that...
