Topic: Rare Bits? I got some spares, and wanna see if there's some good stuff.

[Thunder]

Hi, i posted earlier under the "what did you do with your bike today", but i don't wanna hijack that thread.

Can you guys help me ascertain what is "rare" nowdays, from the 69-74 models? Things to look out for in the pile of "loot" , that might be unobtanium (and so i don't chuck out something i will regret)

Basically (thanks to the forums) i recognize all the  stuff, but am not versed well enough in CB lore to ascertain years etc.
I searched the forums(if i missed a thread please point me in the direction).

The only bits that stand out in my mind(back at home now, bikes are kept elsewhere) were:

Non-locking gas caps x2
Airbox-not 74 or 78 type.(My two current bikes)
2x spoked/disk rear wheels
Clocks, most with instrument lights inside
headlight ears(no indicator mounts)-not 74 or 78 type.(My two current bikes)
Oil tank 1x with another tank below it(rusted) (re-blow system?)
Zorsts(m300??)

So if you have an idea of what to look for,or whats rare, please let me know.

if you were in south carolina, rather than south africa i'd be banging on your door trying to but a set of those stock 750 pipes

+1 on the hm300 pipes we all want them.In your other post the bike in the front looked earlier because the ignition had a round plug connector.If you get a chance write down the serial numbers on the engine case and others if you have them and report back. Frames should have serial #'s also. We can date them with those.  Check gas tanks for wrinkles under the filler cap. Later.  Eric
