Hello everyone i have a small side business on ebay and am planing to bring other stock you cant normally get here in the uk. Things you normally can only get from the USA for cb bikes. Ive a few items im looking in to, just thought i would post here if anyone had any ideas of what they wish they could buy more local to them and i will look into it also.thanks :D
-
.. and of course some reasonably priced, decent quality 500/4 K1 original or pattern exhausts ;)
-
grand idea stuart:
1. blanking plug for speedo drive hole on cylider head .. as available in US from cyclex or joker
2. camchain tensioners for the 500/4 seem to be unavaiable in UK just now ?
I'm generally retiscent to order anything direct from US myslef due to a bad customs experience last year that delayed parts delivery by six months :-X
-
Are you talking relatively inexpensive items or anything at all? Clocks, exhaust, viagra, cafe seats, viagra, engine crash bars, and last but not least, viagra.

yes blanking plates for rev counter should be available very soon in alloy
Also in the process of having my own fork braces made hoping to have them quite soon also in alloy

lol ::) i open to any ideas but mainly smaller items at first back not sure when but i may be able to supply plastic cafe seat instead of fibreglass also alloy front engine mounts
-
Maybe incorporate crash stud thingies into your alloy engine mounts.

spot on , I'll be up for one of those blanking plugs. See cyclex one in attcahed picture Also love these crag pipes, look identical to the ones I've got and that will need renewed at some point.
PS .. what's viagra ?
-
Think Viagra is eye drops, makes you look hard!

a solution to crappy headlight performance then ?

When u get them fork braces sorted stu,il take 2.i presume they are for the 550
-
ok mate no problem
-
planning to have the fork braces made so that you can run the stock fender. Would people still be interested in a straight brace like the torozzi type which means you cant run a fender

you think good second hand tank or new oem style tanks or aftermarket cafe racer type tanks just wondering as i am thinking about getting some cafe racer style tanks in
also what might interest you i might be able to get my hands on brand new oem cb750 candy gold tank side panels with all stockers and fuel cap also brand new oem cb750 4 into 4 exhaust all of this is brand new on boxes
-
Stuart,
Would defiantly be interested in stock 4 pipes but of course its down to the price.
Also same with a stock tank not into cafe stuff.
If and when you can get these drop me a line.
Cheers
Bitsa
-
Stuart, I'd be 2nd in line behind Bitsa on the stock hm341 pipes, but again depends on price. James

Chrome finishing strip for the 500/4 tank. Engine bits - things that currently aren't available - It's been a while since I looked - only other thing that was always hard to get was rear mudguard in chrome. Hard to say until I sort the bike back to working order as stuff that was unobtainable now is obtainable and stuff that could readily be got is apparently no longer available. Rear wheel bearing retainers for instance apparently aren't available?

ditto chrome strip for tank

Hm 300 exhausts is what i am after,
pete
-
Ok things like exhausts seats and tanks are something i plan to look into but more than likely will be further down the line due to large costs involved with these in bulk ordering. I do however plan to have rocker cover plugs, oil pressure switches, NGK plugs and NGK plug caps in both red and black available from this wknd and cb500/550 fork brace in the next few weeks all being well.
I will look into the chrome strip for the tanks see what i can get a hold off

picked up some chrome " screen trim" from Halfords that looks not too bad on the tank

Hi Stuart ... hows it going with tacho plugs and fork braces . You also mention tanks ... thinking of alloy at all ?
-
I'm currently strapped for cash - well cash for bike jobs, thanks to a stint of ebay buying for bits and bobs for the home and farm. My barn is full of unfinnished projects so I'm having a drive at getting the bits to finish off the ones that take the most space. There's a horse drawn finger mower from 1908 and a 1914 Oliver lathe big enough to do drum brakes on a 550 with the tyre still fitted to finish and that is where the cash must go sadly.
-
Oddjob my wallet is twitching at the thought of the rear mudguard and chrome strip although I too am limited spending wise, PM me a price and I will see if I can raise the cash by selling a grandchild!
-
Missus is ok with it this time as all the money I get from the sales of my parts goes to building her a new laundry room.
oh what !! .. can I have a retrospective discount in that case ???
-
You can have a discount price on your Y fronts mate, hows that.
Just posted your bearing retainer BTW.
Is that for a full wash and bow dry with ironing chucked in ? It would be a deal , but the elastic's bust. I'll need a full refund on them from M&S.
