Is anybody else or is it just me that buys parts in advance then misplaces them then orders them again not fully aware that I already have them somewhere?😡

McCabe-Thiele (Ted):
When I was re-building my 400 I made a few duplicated purchases,  I simply forgot I had already bought them due to the time scale, nothing too expensive fortunately.

I'm now much more organised,  on the 400NA Superdream I have my trusty XL spreadsheet of parts I have removed, where they are located. I put a note on the spreadsheet if I have ordered a replacement, I also keep a record of new parts already ordered & where they are in my garage/loft/ office storage. Being fully retired I am time rich so I quite enjoy updating my parts location spreadsheet.

I know sad eh.

Sesman:
Oh, yes. I’ve done that a few times. Certainly taught me the importance of making lists of parts, sources and where I’ve stashed them. Having recently completed my seat refurbishment, after sourcing some replacement seat strap for that I’d lost, I promptly found the ‘lost’ strap this morning on top of the wardrobe buried amongst some parts for my Triton!

LOL!  ;D
As my GF gifted me a number of robust, stack-able plastic containers we spent 2 days over the Holidays finally sifting through various cardboard boxes, sorting numberless bags & items, and logging all my NOS Honda spares into a spreadsheet, so I gain an overview about my stocked items in order to avoid mentioned over-ordering the same things, double, triple, quadruple, five-fold, etc...
Found like 9(!) clutch server gaskets, 7(!) sets of ST1100 hub dampers, 4 sets of head bearings, 2 sets of fork bushings, one complete clutch set, etc, etc, etc...  ???

But CMS is really helpful for ID-ing part numbers, description/dimensions and applicable models...  8)

G'Day everyone... ma name is Martin... I'm a Honda addict...  ;D

Rozabikes Tim:
Spot on place for such a post with us all aging nicely. Think we will all have a similar story...
