78 Parts coming soon--SEE NEW POST
Reply Quote
Hey guys, I see a number of you are in need of 78 parts. I just bought a parts bike with some good stuff still on it. I am only planning on keeping the engine right now for a possible winter rebuild project. There is a possiblity of me picking it up on Friday if I can find a trailer to put it in. I'll take some pictures and post to a blog when I get it.
It does have a left side-cover. Tank seems in ok shape (some rust but no dents or holes and has locked cap) Guages are intact, blah blah blah. MISSING LEFT CONTROLS AND CABLES and FRONT BRAKE SYSTEM.

I could probably go for a set of coils if they are in decent conditon. Would really like a speedometer with a tripmeter in it but since I have a custom I think I am out on that one.

If you want to take a look at it I will tell you where it's at. The coils looked good at first glace.

Couldn't hurt to know where it's at. It would give me a reason to explore that area with the bike.

I may be interested in the tank, depending on the condition. If you do pick it up, e-mail me with a few pics and we can discuss. stewartr@purdue.edu

Thanks, Taylor

I have one side cover...good shape, still has rubber grommets. Battery (left) side. Make me a honest offer and be willing to pay shipping.

I'm not going to break the engine components up yet as I want to see if it's ok for a rebuild.

Is the front headlight nacelle in good shape (including Honda badge) ?  I would be interested in that.

I could sure use a working gas cap cover. That's the only part I'm missing on mine. :)
