Damn these things for being so durable that nobody needs parts!

Up!

Still a lot of good parts available.

Gone: Carbs, exhaust, instruments, headlight, fork hose thing. Available: Engine: $200 (pickup only) Tank : $100 Wheels: $150 Forks: $50 Lots of things I am not currently thinking of. Make an offer.

I have mirrors and all three locks with key off of an 82 cb750 if they are the same.

Bubump.

Still interested?

SOLD! Bought this locally as a project after it sat for years in storage. Rebuilt the carbs, cleaned the fuel system, gave it some turn signals. Worked a little on the electrical. The tires are dry rotted, but have held air for 3 weeks. I have only test rode it to check how it was...

Well shoot, looks like my project is over. These bikes are just too bulletproof. Carbs rebuilt. New petcock with new filter. New turn signals. I took her for a ride and was quite impressed. She needs new tires and isn't the prettiest cosmetically, but she is mechanically sound, so time to...

They are in pretty good condition for being almost as old as I am. Make me an offer. PM if more comfortable that way.

In western Massachusetts. I have most parts including hardware. Make an offer for what you want from it. If something needs shipped you will have to give me a bit of time to figure out what it would cost to ship. Carburetors need rebuilt, but look really good inside and out. Tank is in...

Hello everyone! I've been riding motorcycles for a bit over 20 years. I took a correspondence course on motorcycle repair shortly after getting my first bike all those years ago. I've done most of my own work through the years, but have started getting into it more recently. I bought a '78...
