It looks like seaweb covered everything on his list. I also got a new chain along with the sprockets, and he checked my wheel and steering bearings and was going to replace them if necessary (I forgot to ask if they were replaced). Oh, and he tracked down an electrical gremlin that was causing the tail light to not work. I don't know exactly what else there was for parts but I will get the complete list when I pick the bike up. This guy runs an actual shop doing restorations and his own machining. He's just buttoning up a 1970's Ducati resto that I mistook for a brand-new Sport Classic, but he seems to have a real passion for these old Hondas and knew exactly what to look for and where to look. With my last cb550 he even came up with a supersport side cover from his cache of parts. I don't really know of a shop around here where I can sit down and chew the fat with a mechanic who's been doing this since these bikes were new... and he's close to my house so that's a bonus too.
Spanner, Hush, and Mick: I just finished the calculations (particularly the part about Ireland) and I'm going to have to pass on your generous offers. In fact, it appears as though I got an absolute bargain by going this route; I can't wait to tell the missus how much money I saved. Cheers guys.
