Six years!
Aaaagh!
Is there anyone who could post all the pictures from the Aug. 14 ebay auction screen used bike?
I was just now catching up on this thread, and the pics aren't available on the auction page any more:

Man that think was rough! Creebobby.... I was just looking back at your badge ideas and know a guy that makes them and was thinking of getting some made up. Would anyone be interested in one if I move forward with it?

That is what I was looking at..... I thought I would see what they came up with or if anyone has ideas I am up for them. I like the fleet badge with X1, peewees big adventure and maybe best big in the whole world on it? Like I said.... Any ideas are welcome!

I'd be up for it, just depends on what kinda deal you could get, and how does he make them?, are they just printed on aluminum, or can he acid etch?, I like the fleet style because it looks similar to the Warner Bros. shield, it would tie into the bike better.

Thanks for the pics Billy! Dang that's crazy.
My guess is that the ebay bike didn't actually change hands for $1600. I bet the seller got so many frantic email offers that he sold the bike privately for much much more.
But who knows.
Headbadges! I haven't looked at those designs for a long, long time!
I think the standard for custom badges is acid etched brass, cut, drilled, bent and hand painted.
Since they're made one at a time, it would be possible to get several designs done, depending on what people wanted?
In any case I'd be honored if anybody wanted one of my badge designs on their bike.

Man, how did I miss that! In fact, why did I miss this bike when that "screen used" one got all the publicity and was sold for for 36,000?
Ha, Ha, indianabric was a faster typist than me!,

I think Ruddigger said he missed the auction by minutes, it was a "Buy it Now" auction and it only lasted 12 minutes, and only 7 people looked at it, makes you wonder what the first six were thinking?, guess they weren't, I wonder who got it, where it went, and what are they going to do with it?, they got the deal of the century, if it really went for $1600.00, because they were bidding $36,000.00 on some other "crappy bike" that claimed to be screen used not too long ago.

When I had met that guy with the Krate, once I told him I was building a replica, he told me how he had actually been a bidder on one of the screen used bikes that was for sale a few years ago. Which bike might that have been? Could that have been the bike that's in Ohio?
The Ohio bike was sold in 2007

Everything Wrong With The Bike:
- Saddlebags are mishapen, have the wrong latches, the chrome section also is shaped incorrectly.
- Spinners have too thick of a pattern.
- Tiger Siren has the smaller housing and has the original color scheme.
- The shape of the top console bag is too flat, and missing the orange taillight.
- Super Rocket Ray is missing a fin.
- Fender skirts also seem to be on the outside of the fender.
- Wrong grips.
Quite simply. The bike is nice on it's own. My biggest gripe about that auction though was that you'd have to have been watching the movie while squinting to believe it was screen-used. Many key differences in parts and shape give it away. Feel bad for the guy who had to shovel out $36K for it. The $1,600 bike however was indeed one of the luckiest things ever.
