They do, but not normally that cheap.

[NobleHops]

Whoops! Was looking at the wrong ad.

That's a decent price for the white bike, (which is an 81 and not an 80) but it needs at least a grand of work before it turns a wheel in anger, likely more.

I really want one of those Hondaline farings for my 550 sport tourer project.

[70CB750]

Yeah, trying to find one for Red for quite a while now.

I found that thread, but didn't look at every post, it looked like it was just about one he found but didn't actually buy.

Danny, I have a lengthy thread on the 82 I did. I'll look for it tomorrow.

OEM blinkers are expensive.  I recommend a bike with all original blinkers present.

What year? I have 81/82 signals out in the shed.

 Just don't let old pump gas sit in the carbs.

Does anyone want some of these inside-the-engine pics put up here? It's still apart in my garage at the moment.

[RAFster122s]

 Yes please, it will be interesting to see how Honda evolved/grew in experience and knowledge to create the legendary six.

I can provide one before valve adjustment.

[RAFster122s]

Lots of meticulous work there TT!

Just like eating an elephant right?

TT talk to FunJimmy, his 998 needs a new belt and your Duc experience might be valuable for helping him decide if he wants to tackle it...think he is farming it out this winter.  Then again we all have limited time and when you have the ability to pay and don't wish to delve into it, then you are looking to use the most precious resourece wisely... time.

[RAFster122s]

If you are a keeperof bikes, then buy the nicest and best mechanically condition you can afford... there is false economy buying cheap...

David,

Plenty of how to vids. Always drop a pm.

Checking & replacing CBX shims is not that difficult.  Mike Nixon http://www.motorcycleproject.com/ prints a great guide.  You can even find an Excel spreadsheet that will calculate the size of the replacement shims.  I did learn two important things:  (i) Three shims of the same "size" can all measure as different thicknesses  (ii) You can buy shims in 1/2 sizes.

What he said.

Mike told me .005 on all valves. He also sells many great how to books.

      Oh Man, that Black CBX is making me miss mine even more. I loved the Look, The Sound and the way it Rode & Pulled. Still got Mine as my Avatar, but had to things to deal with and that meant parting with it, which I did, about a month and a half ago, sadly. Awesome motorcycles.
