<< < (3/4) > >>

its your build do what you like , they may not be era correct but they still look old school ive got them on my 83 supergoose cause my one piece is a bit springy for me  , its up to you but strictly speaking if your building a true retro bike then they didnt exist when the bike was new , but we all upgraded when stuff came out potts mod ect , it depends on how important historical accuracy is to you stick them on and see what you think if you no likey then stick the one piece back on  :daumenhoch:

If it`s a rider then use the double pinch all day long, I`ve got them on my T/A race bike that I use at the old school meets, but for a show bike then the single pinch are really the ones to have  :daumenhoch:

I am thinking about buying a bike on ebay that has a great set of single pinch flights, with a flight ring. I only want the frame and the whole bike is way more than I would pay for just that (its about £350). Any idea what I could get back for the flights (assuming they are as mint as they look in the pics)? The bike also has some perfect looking chrome 7x's. The more I think about it, the more I think I could get most of the money back ... but I still dont really have the cash to spend up front.... and I know that when the mint flights were in my hand, I would never sell um! ha ha.

selfpreservation:
single pinch full wrap - £200
single pinch non wrap -£160
assuming theyre on good nick and the bb can be salvaged in good nick , ive seen the former with a showchrome on here for £250 dont think they sold though

billstup:
Mint single pinch flights are good for £200-£250, not sure about the chrome 7x`s though, if they`re mint they could be worth £100-£150 depending on who`s bidding and what time of year it is  :daumenhoch:
