So...say a pair of 888RT's came up for sale...

[sxereturn]

OEM off a bike, what would be a fair asking price of them? Never been ridden, 8" models...

 

[Daver]

$1200 if ur lucky... i'd pay 1000

 

[CHEWY]

whats the RRP on them?

 

[Daver]

they are OEM... but the 888Rs are $2000

 

[S.]

they are OEM... but the 888Rs are $2000

That all? Fark that's cheap compared to last year's prices.

 

[sxereturn]

If I could get $1000 for them I think I'll let them go...

Daver - if you're interested, keep an eye on the for sale forum in a fortnight or so.

 

[CHEWY]

$1000, u fuckin serious? that would be half price! for a brand new fork... Naz would probably want em

 

[sxereturn]

Dude, they are RT's, not the R's.

Kind of like Boxxer Race vs Boxxer Team type thing...

888

Alot of the 2004 dh bikes are coming out with the 888's oem

craftworks, norco, kona

 

[CHEWY]

ahhhhhh, sorry, didnt read the title properly. it all makes sense now

 

[sxereturn]

Yeah these will be off an A-line.

 

[jungle]

888

why would they be up for sale
why wouldn't you keep them on the A-LINE

 

[jungle]

By the way
does anyone know
How much is the 2004 A-LINE with 888'S ?

the 2004 craftworks with 888's is a tad over $5000

cheers

 

[sxereturn]

A-lines are $3999. The Team DH is $7499 with Hadley's, Chris King, 888R's etc...

I want a more adjustable fork as I'll be doing a lot of racing.

If I can't sell them for a grand, I'll learn to live with them.

 

[LTR]

it is like monster T2s and monster Ts.....

monster T2s suck and people flog them off as monster Ts cos people are stupid....

id imagine theyd be alright, so yea, maybe a bit less than 1k?

 

[S.]

The thing is that the 888rt's still have HSCV damping in em for compression I think (which is where it matters) so it's not like comparing Monster T's and T2s.

is the only real difference between the 888rt (the OEM one), and the proper 888r's the OEM one doesnt have the adjustment options???, but like the internals are still the same??

 

[Dane]

i'd be interested, but it would take me ages to get the money together. are the 888rt vs the 888r similar to comparing the boxxer race vs boxxer team like sxereturn said. i am definately gonna get a second job

 

[sxereturn]

From what I understand, the only difference between the R and the RT is the RT has no external adjustment.

From what I understand, the only difference between the R and the RT is the RT has no external adjustment.

That is probably correct.

BTW, Phantom have the 888r listed for $2300 - not $2000 as people have been saying. So $1200 would probably be a more than reasonable price.
