Hey Warriors,

Just came across this on Ebay. This combo goes for $450-$500 brand new. Looks to be in decent shape.

My apology but the pictures display heavy rust under the rack and spotty rust around fasteners and edges. The back pad seam is shown because it's thread is worn through, probably bungee cord effect. The top of the rack has expected marring. One picture is photoshopped or is purposefully blurry and has a rag over it.

In the pictures that are somewhat clear, it's obviously been cleaned-up and that is the best they could do. Imho the price is ridiculous.

Advertised as off a 2007 means this is sized to fit 2004 and newer. In relation to the rider seat, the backpad will be scooted a bit on 02 03 models.

How many here remember the nasty days when hexavalent chrome work was banned in USA due to direct cancer link? The Chinese pumped out very cheap parts for just about every vehicle and there were years of thin chrome, cracked and peeling chrome, and new in box. Some things had to be de-rusted and kept polished.

I'm glad this is an ebay ad and not on here. This is possibly salvageable with a lot of work and it will need regular polish to stay that way.

Good stuff to know.

I just knew it's the same model as mine which I've gotten compliments on and thought I'd pass it on. I figure it's generally grown men who own Warriors who know, or should know, it's always "Buyer Beware" on Ebay, CL, etc.

+1 I agree and it's cool you posted it. I guess I was just griping at the stuff put up for sale out there these days. Forgive me if you felt insulted by my post, it for certain was not intended. I should have been more careful.

You have a better eye than most. Full of wisdom, experience, and years.
