Just like his other auction...just found it interesting. Also watching the bidders. And funny how Iron Honky literally gave away two of the same fully functional kickstarters on here just a couple months ago. He couldn't even get a decent offer for them..let alone 200 each. It is all about hype...there are thousands of them out there. I got rid of the ones I had years ago because they destroy and crack the shroud basically. But they add a cool factor if you barely use the bike or like most..don't ever start it.
They do have that cool factor. Two years ago I missed out on 2 of them new in a box at a estate auction. They sold for $90 for the pair. I wasn't happy I lost out...but I didn't cry all the way home either. I've had one before and they do have some drawbacks.
I would love to have one on my Chopper just for looks

It's been discussed here before. What I recall was that some of the parts are extremely tedious to make, and if anyone did that, they'd still have so much time invested that the price would be just as high.
I think they're cool too, but not "that" cool. One that was built to handle high compression engines would save some hands and tendons.
