New project

Hi Allan long time no speak, is that a Honda 305 Super Sport, quite rare I suspect?

I don't recognise the Combo make, leading link iirc was on my old Ariel Leader, much shorter front link. Is that a factory standard set up?

Hi Ted

Yes been a while

Yes the combo is Kawasaki GTR1000 has been fitted with a Watsonian Grand-prix  sidecar that has been factory set up with leading link front end converted rear wheel too

And yes the other bike is a CB77 305 but has been fitted with Honda factory resets front drop bars and steering damper etc so a bit of a rare bird.

All three bikes were inherited from dad and we’re going to be just chucked out by my nephew who is dealing with the estate and has no interest in the bikes so I asked if I could have them and just cost me transport home.

Just now need to decide what to do with them as original plan was to sell the combo and CB77 and just keep the CB400f as not much room in the workshop with 5 bikes

Best wishes Alan.

Welcome back, the CB77 is the bike I could not afford as a student, I settled for the 250 cc version, a friend had a new CB77  305 Super Sport for his 21st Birthday.

Online they seem to call them a Honda 305 Super-Hawk, I only knew the as a Super Sport. My mates bike had the same sports  bars.

Fwiw I would treat the 305 as a keeper if I had your choices.

Bryanj:
Sidecar bikes can be a hard sell and dont seem to make what they ought to ne worth, the 305 is an uncommon beast now and if it does not need much could well be worth a place in the garage

allankelly1:
Thanks Bryan for the advice

I was thinking the same as the outfit needs a fair bit of work but the little 305 is almost ready to roll

Maybe I will join the Watsonian FB forum and see if anybody would be interested in the outfit as I know the Watsonian sidecars go for a reasonable price

Plus it’s a big lump taking up a fair bit of space in the workshop.

Thanks again Al
