The SOHC Mother Lode!!
« on: January 31, 2012, 06:05:05 PM »
I got an email from a guy I bought a bike from stating his MG forum buddy has some CB parts he may want to sell.
So I email the guy, he responds immediately saying he has two bikes, three motors, alloys, a Kerker and a bunch of motor parts and wants a ridiculous LOW price but must take all and pick up. I ask for a   few pics and could not believe my eyes! I sent a deposit and said I will pick up within two weeks.

Well, here what I got today:





K8, very good cond, all original, started right up w/title



K1, fair cond, w/title



3 motors



Kerker and 2 other exhaust



Alloys w/dual disc front



Side covers for Greggo? match his new tank?


Parts!


More parts!!


K1 seat excellant cond



Cool Factory Honda vac guages!





I'm keeping the K8, but honestly don't know what I'll do with all this?!!!!!

Thanks. Yes, sold the 750 in 1 day for asking price! I did miss the 550F but bought a 550K w/an F pipe last year, so I'm good!

Also, that exhaust in the pic (not the kerker) is just like the one I picked up off ebay!  Maybe he knows the brand if you get a chance to ask..

Thanks Stev-O!
