Anything for K0's, hence silly prices on EBay or from Yamiya etc. Cheers, Terry.

I would think that the original exhaust brackets for the 350F would be sought after though I just saw one on eBay a while back. It would make sense to me that if the original exhausts are about impossible to find, those brackets must be double impossible to find...

Early rolled-lip rear rim.

CB750 discontinued items=tank trim, petcocks, old cams, ripple tanks, good used switchgear, or new, I'll think of some others.
Of course there's that "sandcast" thing and all the parts that go along with that.

A lot of things are available if you want to pay. Good used old style gas cap thumb latches are around, but the finish is usually bad. Take about $40 to rechrome. New ones can be had from Yamiya for $120+/-.

They have repro tank trim too, $100 pair.

gold plated mud flaps

And don't forget that recessed ignition switch. YIKES!!! Big bucks especially if it comes with the steering lock and matching key.

Geez, you would think I would have remembered that darn duckbill. That was a huge cost for sure. Those black kill switches go for the big ones too. Seems like the KO air boxes are getting pretty high in price too.

Yah, good one there Buck. I did pick up a spare but had to go the Yamiya route.

I'd settle for a rear luggage rack in good condition for the CB750. I can't find a nice one.

48T rear sprocket

Didn't Hondaman solve that issue?

Really? · « **Reply #15 on:** December 03, 2009, 03:14:30 PM »

I kew he was working on it but do not know if he had resolved it, at least fully. i think he had a few test ones to get some results but that is all I know about.

I do have 4 for test. They appear to be 100% correct, but would like to roll down the road with one before selling them. As of today, we've had all 58" of annual winter season snowfall so far, but winter isn't here, yet...as I'm typing, it is now 2 degrees and falling. It will be a while before I can test.

My vote for rare parts: valve rocker shafts for 750. I'm making those this winter, too. The list is growing, and I'm finding willing sources of machine shops here in town to make the parts, so as soon as I finish this book, the other parts will begin....rocker shafts, swingarm collar, refurbished voltage regulators, refurbished cam bearings (aka rocker towers).

I would like to help test but I would be an aweful tester since the bike is not a daily driver and really gets driven very little. It would take way to long to get any results that you would need. Heck, I haven't even ridden my bike in months. The chiropractor and neuro surgeon would have a cow if they heard i was riding my 800lb'der.
