FS: Near perfect Caddy tail gate
« on: May 09, 2010, 11:59:35 am »
got a tailgate off a caddy diesel, silver in color, with some pin striping. dont have it in my actual possession, but if someone shows interest, i will go pick it up and take some pics of this beauty. its in 9/10 condition, no dents, rust, or huge scratches.

make me an offer? trade me some parts?

The NOS New one on eBay had a 600 reserve, maybe that is the one you heard about ? It bid to 268. Worth more than that, but his shipping calculator was set Really High.

A mint used one would have good value.
Plus you'd get the hardware and gizmos.

$205.88 shipped, just to hang it on the wall

it has a good handle and locks on the edges. it needs nothing if you already have a caddy with a tailgate..

I was just throwing it out there, I'm lucky in the fact that I have a serviceable tailgate on my truck and a better one in the garage I need to beat a dent out of.

i had just heard that one went for 600 bucks, didnt know it was NOS. that would explain quite a bit.

Holy crap :(.  I can't believe I settled for $50 when that Korean b!+@$ rear ended me and whacked my tailgate.  I had no idea they were worth that......

That's funny !

Reminds me when a lady hit my rear tire on my Desmosedici Ducati, knocked off the side stand..

Her insurance company thought they could get the side panel & lower faring fixed ( carbon fiber )
I did get a check for 17,365.00

Bike new 72500.00
GP exhaust 9800.00 ( optional )

Always get a estimate and insure for full replacement value
