Not sure what the forks go for but the remake leg assemblies, are 1000 Euros.

I cant ID those rotors or carriers, is there any closeup pics?, or in the articles on the bikes, does it maybe shed some light on who made them?

Did you ever find out who built the pipes on these bikes, they sure fit well..

Wake up Sam,we need to know! ;)Also was reading article in Cycle,says they went from original 18" f/wheel to 19" for a little better weight transfer.Said it originally had dual set up,then single,then I guess back to dual at the end. Looked like original Honda 750 caliper on one pic of single setup.Wake up Sam!!

If we could do this we may be able to keep PP's share a little lower they even take a bit on donations.

Here's a digitally enhanced and sharpened enlargement of the front wheel...I'm stumped as to the make of the rotor which appears to be liberally swiss-cheesed. Somebody ask Rickey-Racer, he's good at identifying esoteric retro bike parts.

I CAN'T WAIT to hear this iconic ultimate expression of motorcycle gearhead Yankee-ingenuity light-up.
They sure don't make 'em like this anymore.

Old Scrambler · « **Reply #284 on:** February 19, 2012, 02:28:22 PM »

The rim looks like its laced to a 4-bolt hub which was available from Honda CB200T and maybe CB360G & T models in '75-'76. I have a CB200T complete wheel in my garage.............If you need it I could donate for the cause.

Then someone cut a mounting disk for the 6-bolt Swiss-Cheese rotors. Based on the rather narrow trees, the hub had to be narrow to get the spoke clearance for the calipers. The rotors appear to be very close to the assumed counter-sunk flathead-srews holding the caliper plate and fork brace to the fork-leg mounts. Very custom rotor and mounting disk for its time..........

Bill/BentON Racing · « **Reply #285 on:** February 19, 2012, 03:16:15 PM »

Sure could be,a lot of drag racers used the little F/end off CB200T.Bill

Retro Rocket · « **Reply #286 on:** February 19, 2012, 03:27:48 PM »

Hmmm, i have a Hearst Airheart caliper in that shape, i'll have to pull it out and compare it, if its the same one i will donate it to the cause....

Got both you and Billy Mick, see locked sticky thread.

Sam.

Although Russ has made his Paypal details know, please PM me if you donate so that you can be added to the membership.
We still need to do some work on this.

Old Scrambler · « **Reply #290 on:** February 19, 2012, 04:49:07 PM »

Reference the front wheel hub............After further thought...........its not a CB200 because of the 40-spoke count.............more likely a Kawasaki hub and currently available on ebay.........search H1 or H2 or Z1

FuZZie · « **Reply #291 on:** February 19, 2012, 05:09:23 PM »

Just sent mine too Sam!

Retro Rocket · « **Reply #292 on:** February 19, 2012, 05:22:24 PM »

Gentlemen: Mr. Green, Hastings, Benton, Dison, and Debow all true lovers of things fast and very SOHC we are grateful and several others to boot. You are very much pressing home the importance of these Hall of Fame Hondas.

The gentlemen here locally, that will be working late hours to recreate some exotic pieces are inspired by you and they have their work cutout for them...inspiration goes a long way. They too have seen these run and just to hear them, is worth all the effort.

I will get this all straight and well recorded, who is doing what...hard earned cash , and parts have been donated...this is not taken lightly.

Any one of you sponsors traveling through San Diego. please call on me...I'm buying lunch and you are welcome to review the process on these.

RCjr.

I called my Dad today to check on the wife..all is well...so now about that wheel.

I reminded him that we used to take stock rotors from customers and drill and copper plate just like these...he laughed at not remembering...but I worked in shipping..duh..somethings the President is not made aware of.

He will be looking at some pics to try and source the 40 spoke hub. Those are Airheart calipers with RC made hangars.

The rotors look like HD from a single disc 73=76 FX and XL... except they are not 5 bolt. Was PM in business then, their early rotors were usually mehanite (cast iron) My guess on the wheel hub is that it is a lightweight flat-track wheel like Kosman or barnes.. they are drilled for 8 bolt but on knock=offs its common to only used 4 bolts.. would work on the disc carrier.. for dragrace rear sprocket you may run the full 8 bolts..

I have a 3Meg version of the bike if anyone want to PM me with there email...I'll send them anything I have except that 80 Meg B&W at 2' x 3'...chokes all computers except my aerospace one at work!

FuZZie · « **Reply #299 on:** February 19, 2012, 08:03:02 PM »

IF you want to try to send the 80m one to my email and give me a bit with it, I may be able to make it more manageable but I'll need to see it before i can make any promises.
