Hi all -
A question about local used parts in SouthWestern ON
Just starting reassembly of a '77 750 K, and finding that some parts are missing / shot, for example headlight bucket and hardware (it came with a Vetter Fairing, I thought the headlight assembly in the Vetter was the orig from the Honda, turns out no, however the fork stays were in one of the boxes
also the brake fluid had been drained from the caliper, unfortunately with the piston almost fully recessed in the pot...
The bike is a bit rough cosmetically, I'm only focused on putting it together and seeing if it runs - I don't need original bits (the exhaust is aftermarket anyhow).
So I came across the vintagecb750.com/ site and it looks to be about $ 150 CDN for a headlight bucket and related parts, about 170 for an aftermarket caliper. I'm in no hurry, anyone have an opinion, is this the sort of thing that gets sold / swapped at the Paris rally, and cost? Or is this like asking how long is a piece of string?
I found a stock bucket only on ebay, it would be about $70 to get...
Thank you
