I have a pair of NOS Side covers for a 69 750 still wrapped in the old school honda tissue paper even.  They are the Candy Blue Green color.  I've had them for quite some time and was wondering what a pair of these would bring?

If you need to ask that, you are pretty new to the SOHC scene.


There is a french guy in ebay named "jarnofly". Have a look at his past auctions and see how much is people paying for sidecovers.

Worthless.  I'll dispose of them for you. ;)

Can I have a motorcycle when I get old enough?
If you take care of it.
What do you have to do?
Lot’s of things. You’ve been watching me.
Will you show me all of them?
Sure.
Is it hard?
Not if you have the right attitudes. It’s having the right attitudes that’s hard.

Friend of mine had the same pair/colour - they were sold on Ebay for $600/pair a few years back....likely more now.

Good luck,
Andy

Finally found the information I had saved on my well organized hard drive ::). Back  in 2005 a set of K0, candy gold NOS sidecovers, with the badges, went for $500 each on eBay and each had between 8 and 12 bidders.

I just saw today a NOS K0 speedometer with a "Buy it now" of 800 euro. It doesn't mean that it is worth what the seller wants to get for it, but even if somebody buys it, the seller will never know how much the payer would be willing to pay.

Maybe you could post some pics here before, so we can drool.....

Careful Raul, that's already beginning to drip down your chin.   ;D

You'll be looking like my Labrador.  He leaves little puddles of spit on the kitchen floor while he stands and drools, hoping to get some little morsel...  :D

Let me tell you, those sidecovers are going to get you some extra money for Christmas!

Now it's me the one that get curious. Tell us about the story behind them. How did you get them? Why did you get them? How long has you been keeping them?

If you put them for sale, make sure that the original wrap appears in the picture so people will know it is the real McCoy, not a repaint.

For a regular fee I can bid on them to jack up the price...... as long as you don't make me buy them if I win the auction  ;D
