Sandcast #31 on eBay..

<< < (6/6)

UK Pete:
I don't believe the story... for so many parts  been replaced at 4000 miles not really consistent with an accident
But still a great find for someone

For all my harumphing about the wrong bits (having spent years at the back of a Honda dealer's workshop, I guess some bits will probably have been robbed as needed for customer bikes) I wish I'd had the chance to buy one with such a low number. (Says a man who owned an early CB750 when it was just another used bike in the 70's then swapped it for a Norton, see another thread).

I notice that as well as being in a different place to later bikes, which I know is correct, the horn body is made of a grey plastic. I remember reading about grey plastic parts on the pre production bikes, Vic World's 'untouched' sandcast has a black horn body. Interesting....

I never believe the mileage on any old bike especially when there almost 50 years old.
My green 750 has done almost 90,000 but according to the speedo that I changed its done 24,000 and with its half assed restoration and the lack of me keeping it clean it's now got the patina of a 46 year old low mileage bike.

UK Pete:
It is always hard to believe old bikes with low mileage .usually when  they have all original parts that usually helps out the story
I have my self a lovely 9000 mile F1 to restore it came to me with all its original parts and most of the bolts have never been undone and have the yellow  markings on them, the chrome has tarnished though

I’d say the rev counter isn’t a sandcast part looking at the gear on backside.
