I’m convinced there is still lots of stuff around. Cameron Cycle has two containers lined with shelving, out back. Lots and lots of NOS parts from years back. Last time I discovered a cracked clutch cover plate, they had two new ones on those shelves! Most recently, an HM341 baffle and they had one too….. Never hurts to ask!

John
Thank you for the TIP off

Got a couple pieces for my Super sport
Selena has a couple fork covers used in good shape BOUGHT them on the spot LOL
also one side cover emblem and the clip spring for the gas lit cover lock
She is looking in to other needed parts Emailed her a list

Also contacted Schrader Honda  and talked to Derek
He has a couple pieces that i need

That’s great. I’ve been going there forever. It’s under new ownership and no more Honda bike sales in the place. However the two ladies that run the parts dept. are excellent. I spoke to Lyle at Schrader and it sounds like they have some pretty good inventory. He’s retiring in a few months and specifically mentioned Derek. They seem like a good crew.

So today a friend of mine was chatting with his brother who lives an hour away from here. He mentioned I was restoring a K6 that looked like his brothers first “real” motorcycle, from way back when. He also sent him two pictures he took in my shop.

Well the guy called me this evening and wants to see it ASAP. I mentioned a bit of a silly price and he didn’t flinch. This one may not be around too much longer. I really do need to clear a few bikes, but was hoping to sell a K7 or K8……

I'm working up a K4 that I suspect will end like that, too. Got some actual, real-live OEM HM341 pipes, used 4k miles, for it. Haven't taken them out of their box, yet, though...

Cliff….. only if the fit is good and there’s no haggling. I also have to find the right day to put +100 miles on the bike and make sure it’s as good as I think. I really need to make some space.

Truthfully, insurance and ongoing maintenance creates more of a burden than I care for. Definitely move what you don’t use….. Also, that 2008 Honda Varadero that I bought last year has seen more use than any of my other bikes.

Maybe not. Guy came by and with barely a glance at the motorcycle started explaining to me why my price was much too high. Thanked him for his input and showed him the door.

A long time friend who ran a body shop was into the car show scene. He bought a few fairly nice cars that the guys sold for about what they had spent in parts to build them. They would build a car and sell it in order to be able to build another one more or less.

It will cost less to buy a completely refurbished CB750 than do an own project.
I have seen too many unrestored CB750 the seller think is worth too much based on seen very nice and complete bikes.
Missing or damaged parts with basic engine restore that cost $8000-10000 US.

John, she is certainly gorgeous, too bad the K7 and K8s are not selling quite as high as earlier ones, unless really nice the ones I watched if the F bikes didn't bring as much money. The Nighthawks have had a following for years and prices are much higher than when I last looked at their sales.

What are you wanting to get for a K7 or K8, ballpark.

I hate buyers who think they can tell you how much you are gonna take for something.
It is insulting and it can tick me off ...

Thanks guys….. Bikes in Canada usually sell for 20-25% less than in the US. It’s surprising more Americans don’t come up here to buy. Duty is usually 2% and I’ve had fellows pick up bikes from me, drive two hours to the border, and be across in an hour. Using a carrier creates more paperwork and fees, but both the Benelli and the Carlini Chopper went south with little hassle.

I usually post my bikes for 2 or 3 X whatever anybody else is asking. It gets rid of the time wasters and seems to work.

Having said that, I do have a shop full of motorcycles. The Buy/Sell ratio is about 2/1. 😳

Up until today, I’ve only run the K6 on the remote fuel tank, hanging up over the bike. Finished up the new fuel hoses (nice 5.5 mm Honda hose) and installled the tank.

First I had to move the idle screw back over to the right side, because the tap on the left complete hides it, then reroute the hoses because they fouled the idle screw! Finally sorted. Good news: bike sounds and runs better every time I put it through another cycle. Looking forward to the first ride…..

IMHO no, I have seen the things that a PO did on the K3 I have, far too many such things are buried deep inside of things :-).  A frame up resto where every part of it is kind of lame is not anything I want part of LOL.

Here too much gravel and sand left on the roads after winter.
Mostly in the city and small villages.
Some nice country roads get that where traction is needed due to ice.
It will hopefully soon be removed.

Too much dust making bikes with filters dusty. Meeting a heavy vehicle in a cloud of dust. I roll with clutch engaged, engine idle. In worst case kill switch and keep rolling.
Rain and wind needed.

We used to suffer MUCH sand and small gravel in the Spring until this State went [back] to salt. Now they spray wet salt solution("Red Salt", they call it) on the roads before the snows (sometimes for no reason when the snow misses us). It has proven to be very effective with dissolving ice - and cars.
