FX Nytro Fuel Caddy's

[boritzer1234]

I found a used pair of Nytro Fuel Caddy's. The bags have a few small holes in them, one of which is about 4 inches long. Both gas cans are caved in on the sides. What do you think I should offer this guy and are these worth it with the risk of leaks and such? I know I want caddy's like this but cant justify paying Yamaha's price. Below are the exact things I am looking at.

They are selling new at my local dealer for $115

Rich's Yamaha Lockport, Il

No way! Is this a sale price of some sort?

 

[siberianhusky]

Thats a great price! I have seen these listed for no less than $199......Get'em!

I looked at the same caddies. Over by Kens Sports. I didnt by them cause of the rips. You cant fix that. Shane

take the tops off and the sides will come back out on the cans and as for the bags , just cosmetic, as the cans are held in with straps . does all the mounting hardware come with ?

 

[boritzer1234]

Yes the hardware comes with. I'm not worried about the rips, I can get those sewed up if needed. How much do you think they are worth?

The caddy's at Rich's Yamaha are left over inventory from last year. Tehy have a ton of clothes as well at great prices. I just picked up a Klim Klimate jacket for $180 and Klimate pants for $200. Klimate gloves for $45. It is all 2011 stuff but still brand new. FXR octane boots are $89. These are normally $160! I think they are on eBay. If not jsut call tehm.

I have them and in my experience the only way to get them to push the sides back out is, fill them about 1/4 with gas and put them somewhere warm. All these new plastic cans with no venting do it. The warmth will heat the gas enough to create a small amount of pressure to push the sides back out.

As for the caddies, used them 2 seasons and they worked well, no problems and no broken zippers. Never needed to use the gas so, I used one side for storage and the other for gas.

However, I HATE the looks of them.

if ur worried about leaks fill em with water and check em. but sounds like a good price to me.....

If you can get them locally for $115 I'd offer him $60 ish.

I'm seeing what people would offer. The 115 is for a new set. The only problem with the whole leak thing is that they would have to be shipped here because he is not from around where I am.

The most important part of the kit are the brackets, hardware and bags...you can get the gas jugs at any hardware (at least in Canada) store.
