Bought some new, and I use that term very loosely, parts from a wrecker. In my enquiry email about a master cylinder and some other bits I said I was thinking about new but if they had a good one off a low K bike I'd consider it. The said yes they did. Should have asked for a pic. This is what they sent me with a new lever..

Update: The wrecker who shall remain anonymous for the moment has called me and apologised for the master cylinder they sent me and is overnighting me a "really good one". We shall see.

What are you guys on about, thats a perfectly good, almost like new lever & master cylinder

You guys just need to learn how to interpret what wreckers really mean, they don't have the same definitions as the rest of the world.... I've burned a couple of time, now I go into the wreckers or ask for photos if it interstate.

What wreckers say and what they mean, an interpretation by Stereo.

Say: "Yes, we have those parts, we had one of those bikes come in 3 days ago"
Mean: "Wouldnt have a f*cking clue, you probably live an hour away, but come over here and I will look for it it for a few minutes and then realise you said "Z" xr, not "GS" xr..... And when you said 2004, I thought you meant 1974".

Say: "Yeah, we have a green one, Im looking at it right now"
Mean: "Yeah, we have a green one, I could look at it if I wanted to, and if I did I would realise it was red and dented"

Say: "Make me an offer"
Mean: "Make me an offer as long as it is only 10% below the price of the new part"

Say: "This part will fit your bike perfectly"
Mean: "Mate, you are paying slightly below the price of a new part and you want it to fit? get out of my face, but give me your money first".

Say: "We will give you a good price for it"
Mean: "Since you hired a trailer to get your crap over here, you wont want to take it home with you, so Im going to ream you. Haha sucker"

Say: "Hello"
Mean: "Im going to try to ream you"

Say: "Goodbye"
Mean: "Haha sucker!"

not really stereo. the service & honesty i get vmw is pretty good.

some people might take advantage of internet trading but thats why u have to be careful.

agreed.
vic motorcycle wreckers are fantastic.
they don't f*** me around. they usually give me a decent price, but when it aint cheap, they still tell me upfront and respect my decision to go another way.

What the hell is wrong with you

"New" = Yes they were

at some stage.
Low K's They are low K's

, The bike only cartwheeled for 300 metres then hit a parked car

The "New" one will be interesting to see

Much happier with what turned up today.

Although why didn't they just send me this one in the first place?

MickLC · Post by **MickLC** » Wed Nov 01, 2006 10:29 am

I'm sure you could've buffed up the other one to look like that

At least you got it sorted and just need to get it fitted up now
