Bought all the parts from a Honda dealer OEM and everything ran about $60 or less. Everything but the casting and the cap.

But we were boys, and boys will be boys, and so they will. To us, everything was dangerous, but what of that? Had we not been made to live forever?

My local dealer ordered everything I need all OEM Honda. House of Honda in Mamroneck NY. Took a week. Be sure to scrub everthing out well with Denatured Achchol before you put it together.

They are ALL over feeBay pretty cheap from an assortment of sellers, around $30.

(nixed the non-working link - sorry - for some reason, I can never get feeBay searches to work in a link)

Just search for " CB5* master* " (no quotes - the * are 'wild cards') and make sure to check the "include eBay stores" box - NOT checked by default *sigh*. (another thing I hate about eBay - a few years ago they were all like "eBay stores are great! put all your inventory there!" and now they do everything they can to steer people back to auctions, since they make more money on them including NOT searching stores too by default, showing auctions thumbnails but not showing stores thumbnails in searches, etc.. .  . .GAWD they need some competition between this kind of nonsense and their ever increasing fees. . . .sorry to rant but obviously I have quite the love/hate thing with them. . .    ;D  )
