Parts which are hard to find
« on: April 02, 2010, 03:52:45 PM »
I'm looking for a list of CB750 parts which are next to impossible to find new at least here in the US. Are there any missing parts for these motorcycles? This can include emblems, side covers, mechanical parts, etc. If so, please mention the model/year/part.

Cheers,
-K

the stator harness i ended up having to build a new one from scratch with new plugs and bullet connectors. plastic inner fender on my bike is pretty trashed but i used to make armor for sca fighting (bamboo weapons) by heating sheets of PVC so thats what i'm going to do when i tear down fuzzycycle for the big motor and powdercoating. Yamiya has a repop tank latch (i think)

750 k3-k6 fork ears. Sometimes you can get lucky and find a left one new, but the right ones aint around any more. Same for rear fenders and bars.
