What's in the box???

Post by hillsy v2 »

Almost a year ago to the day we had major flooding in QLD and Northern NSW that affected thousands of businesses with flood damaged stock.

My buddies bike shop was no exception. They had all their stuff insured, so they sent all the flood damaged stock away to be assessed.

One year on they bought back most of the "salvageable" stuff for 10 cents in the dollar. They've been having flood sales over the past few months (I got a pair of O'Neal ADV boots for nice and cheap).

Anyway, my buddy turns up last night with 3 boxes of "stuff" that was otherwise going to be thrown out. Lucky dip time, perhaps?

Here's box #1

Image

And here are the contents spread out on the table

Image

Some things of note....

A couple of Suzuki starter motors
Image

Some Honda cruiser cover
Image
Image

Some tail lights for Hyosungs
Image
Image

And a bunch of fuel pump filter kits (Honda and Suzuki)
Image

There was also a bunch of gaskets, piston kits, chains, body panels, etc, etc.....and this is just in one box.

It's already doing my head in trying to work out what to do with this stuff - I don't know whether to thank him or hit him :lmao:

Nice score. I see and ebay store in your future. Or you could try selling some of it here. https://www.motorcycleforum.com/
If you have any type of electrical issue, have your battery load tested before you do anything else. Any auto parts store will test it for free.

If you put together a list of the Triumph parts and send them I will post them on Triumph Rat for you. Lots of guys from 'down under' on there.
