S4R forks... how much is to much to pay?

[Charlief]

Damn...  this auction is almost $800!

I was watching it...  thinking 4-500 would be reasonable.

Going price seems to be $AUD600-700

isn't that like $121.87 US?       j/k

Nearly $800 is just absurd for used stock take offs.  Now if they have been reworked w/ different internals...still sounds high though.  FYI, I paid $400 for my 998 fork on feebay.

It's all about supply & demand.  A good set of S4R forks are hard to come by.  Ask me how I know...http://ducatimonsterforum.org/index.php?topic=25400.0

I purchased 2 sets of TiNi forks within the last 1.5 years.

1st = $450 8 on a 10 scale. 
2nd = $650 9 on a 10 scale.

I get that, but common sense tells me that unless these s4r forks have been reworked internally w/ ohlins internals or Race tech stuff, then they are not worth $800.  I would wait until another set came along or get a set of SBK forks.  The conversion is very easy.

I couldn't agree more...I think $800 is outrageous to pay.  I was just making the point that there seems to be a high demand out there and short supply on the market...kinda like the $1K Cycle Cat rear sets.

HA!  I remember that post.  Yeah, the S4R forks are a direct bolt on, but I am somewhat partial to the SBK units...easier to get and usually less $$$$.

If any one's intrested:

I'm selling my TiNi S4R forks for the DMF price of $1500.

Sure they are - to the right buyer anyways.  Not saying they're a smart buyer

When I was shopping for them recently, the supply had drastically dried up.  Went weeks without even seeing any for sale, let alone for a reasonable price.  Finally managed to bid snipe some S4 forks.
