- First Mystery Find - Trash Metal or Gold?

So I picked these up today and I have confirmed that they are Harley Davidson Exhausts. I'm wondering what to do with them. One of them has a cat in it and the other doesn't. Has anyone ever delt with anything like this?
Part #: 65547-98A and 65354-04
Any help would be appreciated! -Gravitar

Anything HD will have a resale value. I would try CL first.

Cool, I knew HD stuff is worth money. Anyway, how would you clean them up to resell? Like I know Brass-o or some other polish will take care of the outside, but what about the inside? I've never really delt with car/motorcycle parts, I mainly deal with appliances and small engines.

True that Harley stuff sells, those look to be stock pipes and what do most guys do when they get a new bike? Upgrade the exhaust.

definite resale, the converter looks similar to a stainless Chrysler which on a motorcycle wouldn't hardly pay anything, good luck

Agreed with kz. If they are stock parts. You'll probably find it harder to sell than you think. People upgrade.

I have bought new take off OEM Harley mufflers for my sidecars at $5 each.

That cat is what is called a foil (you can tell by the swirl pattern) depending on your buyer it will be worth about $10 if it graded as a small or about $20 if it can go as a medium foil.
FYI: It is illegal to resell a used cat. I don't know how much they enforce this law, but I wouldn't market it for reuse if you put it on Ebay. Hope that helps!

Thank You for that information! I need to find a cat buyer then.

Google core buyer/your area, that might bring up a core buyer that would buy it from you.
