Unbelievable
« on: March 06, 2008, 04:32:59 PM »
I just can't help but sing Hondas praises again!! I just ordered about 15 different parts for a 1966 S65 and only the countershaft sprocket isn't available from the big H (I bid on an NOS on e-bay anyway)

Oddball tranny parts to camchain tensioner spring to petcock, everything else still available for a 42 year old motorcycle....... unbelievable.

It's BEST when you get to blow the dust off the box with all the Japanese writing on it. ;D ;D

or a 15 day old one.
Usually, they send the service parts a couple of months later (trivial items like oil filters, etc)
