Bump! :duh

I'm certainly interested, however, I'm wondering if you can tell me the name of any places that I would be able to buy the filter elements from for these if I were to purchase them?

K&N do them, but you might have to look hard for them. Not sure who else

Awesome, thanks for that.

Interuptzero,
I don't think the top photo does these carbs any justice. They are in excellent condition. I think other than buying new (~$1200) you would be hard pressed finding a better set.
I will post a better shot of them.

Regards,
Ali 😀

Thanks. I'll be chatting with my Dad and my Brother-in-law tomorrow morning and seeing what they think, so you may very well hear from me tomorrow some time.

In the meantime, it would be great if you have any more pictures to post of them. 🙂

Will be unable to post pics till Sunday!
Sorry!

Regards,
Ali :bounce

I will give you $360 for them

Are these 4sale?

Yes Silver these are still for sale.

Ali :duh

I'll give you $370 for them

Another 13 posts and there yours silver:duh

Consider this, One

Silver, thank you for your generous offer.
Maybe you could take some advice from lugnuts (Mick) and actually add some $$ with each subsequent post.

Ali :jesus

would these go ok on a stock 1300TP?
nick

They would drown it!

Are there New manifold Gaskets :P

even if jetted right? would be interested as ive had my carb rejetted etc and it still has flat spots...... plus id like twin carbs...?
nick

I am sure I could dig around and find some new manifold to head gaskets (twin port).

Ali :birthday

Hey Bond. Thanks for your interest in the Kadrons.
I can't comment with authority on how well these would work on a stock 1300 tp motor, however they were designed to be put onto a 1600tp. They will work very well on anything up to a 1916.
So I am optimistic that they will work on your 1300, but it may be worthwhile asking your question on the tech pages within this forum.
You would certainly want some good extractors to make the most of them.

Cheers,
Ali 😉

would you be interested in an offer for $400?

Dude, they're rebuilt Kadron carburettors... will pretty little pictures REALLY help you decide to buy?! :duh

Just as a matter of interest Leons motors at Salisbury sells kits for Kads he may sell filter elements as well.

16 .........their as good as mine

I think you may have missed lugnuts' point. He was getting at the fact that if you kept increasing your offer by the same value, you would have made the original asking price by the time you got to "Another 13 posts".

Do you walk into car showrooms and kick tyres too?

Boy!
I feel like this post has kinda taken on a life of its own!
Thanks for all the support and kind words fellas!!

Ali :kiss

VWCOOL wrote:Do you walk into car showrooms and kick tyres too?

Only when I'm not busy winding people up on internet forums.

This is ridiculous, give the man a break, they are rebuilt and an absolute bargain. Put it on the trading post in Melbourne if you have to Ali and be done with it. All the best!
AL
p.s. There are quite a few people building VW engined trikes in Melbourne and they all seem to run the Kadrons, I sold mine quickly via this method.

The only reason I asked to see more pictures is becuase he offered. Don't get your panties in a knot because you didn't read the entire thread.

Thanks alot for the tip Aldo!!
I apologise. I did offer to post more pictures however have been frantic with work! I will attempt to tomorrow.

Kind regards,
Ali :thumb

The only bit I needed to read was the first post: "excellent condition (brand new throttle butterflies and re-bushed shafts) and come with linkage, air-cleaner assemblies (filter element required) and dual-port manifolds.
$495"

If I didn't already have a spare set, I'd be buying them. And I don't need no pics to convince me!:kiss

Well doesn't that make you such a fantastic human being. I feel honoured to be in the e-presence of such an honest and trusting person. Accept my humble apologies, because it's obvious that the fact that you wouldn't require any more pictures to convince you that you would buy a product was worth your noting, even though you have absolutely no interest in buying it at all. Thank you for not wasting mine, nor even primate's time, and pointing this out for us.

I'm glad it's not me trying to sell the Kads, I would have cracked the shits by now with all the silly questions and stupid offers. There Kads and there worth the $500 easy. Call around and check out the price for a new set, you'll be verry suprised, there almost on par with webbers.

Absolutely!

500 for these rebuilt is a damn good price. here in perth i got a quote to get mine rebuilt and that alone was $450. so its only 50 bucks mroe and includes the carby .etc.

this is a bump for him

*bump*

Finally got around to taking some more pics of the carburettors:

Cheers,

And another : 😉

[Edited on 24-10-2004 by primate]

One more : 😀

Well while you guys have been window shopping with these carbsI've just bought a pair of these bad boys and if you pay $450 to have them rebuilt you deserve it.

lol.. last rebuild on my Kads took three beers!

Man, is somene gunna buy these.. or do I have to?

I still can't believe no ones snapped them up as they look pretty good.


Do they come with wafers ?

Well I have made an offer! does anyone want to offer more than me or just make comments?..... Big deal how much they cost or how much they are worth, I have made an offer if it is not accepted so what! I can always get some when It suits me...But I love a bargain maybe when the kid's get hungrier my offer will be accepted!
I have Kad's in the Kombi I paid $750 for them, but they came with a 1916 complete ready to drop in That was 2 years ago and it is still running great
Silver loves a bargain..

yes ok i'll offer more, how about an extra 50 bucks on top of silvers 370 to fatten your wallet & make my bug sing

have these sold?

sounds more like a soap opera

Any chance of a picture of the carbs with the Sydney Opera house in the back ground ?

Just been away with work for last 8 days.
These are still for sale.
I will have to work on the pic with the Harbour Bridge in the background.
Any other requests? - Dancing women? Eiffel Tower? Chewbacca holding them up ?.......

KLACK MOTORS ARE ABLE TO SUPPLY THE FILTERS

Gezzz people, these are a bloody great deal and i can vouch for primate. I bought a set of kads from him and they were just as he said they were and have been running in my car for the last 6 months. He's a top bloke to buy from. Someone buy the bloody things and stop pissing around.


steff..................

I will buy these! You have u2u Pam
