BOTM LOSER Proudly Deplorable
Yeah, if you ride those the brakes don't rust nearly as bad and it causes you to service the tires more often. I understand collections, but not collecting dust.

Why, do sand cast wheels cost $500?Tune-A-Fish said:Drops the value of the sandcast by a whole lota pennies if it's a K0

If I restore the sand cast I will probably not put these back on. The Kimtabs are worth more than a pair of spoke rims for the K0. I'm curious what brake he had on the back, because Kimtabs don't come in drum brake.surffly said:I was going to say, the person that will value the sand cast will not want to use the kimtabs.
Those are epic wheels, missed out on a set for my 750 a few years ago.
They would be nice on my Seeley....lol

A sandcast is what it is. It is not a K0.
Some have thought they hit the lottery on a sandcast only to not understand the numbers.
A k0 is a valuable bike, but not comparable to a sandcast value.
To maximize value of a sandcast the details have to be right too.
This doesn't make sense because a K0 is not a sand cast.Tune-A-Fish said:Drops the value of the sandcast by a whole lota pennies if it's a K0
Not to my situation , but I understand what you are sayingTune-A-Fish said:Yes, you are correct, the K0 is die cast 1970 model the sand cast is 69, but my point is still valid.
Hey, It never hurts to try, but NO......Tune-A-Fish said:If you buy my Suzuki gt550 you can fit those wheels on it or I would happily trade for the XR :

Engine #1644, frame #1565, it's a sand cast

I might be wrong, but in my case with a complete basket case sand cast that has been owned since 74-75, it is worth more with the Kimtabs than without any wheels. And with the price of Kimtabs these days I doubt the package would be worth more if I included sand cast rims instead.Tune-A-Fish said:The after market wheels devalue the motorcycle is the point. collecting anything for value is pure stupidity (unless gold or silver) IMO so none of it really matters to me anyways.
