Due to a recent accident, my right thumb is out of commission for about 2 months. Plan A could be wait until I am able to be functional enough to complete them all or Plan B is to move them all out as-is with most of the parts ready to make them all functional again. Thanks to local friends and enthusiasts, two bikes have been sold already.
Project 1
JDM Honda red S90 from around 1965. Li-on battery, some engine work done, Mikuni carb, factory winkers, speed and headlight shell replaced. The front wheel was very rusty, unlike the rear wheel. I bought a good used front wheel assembly and a set of new tires for the bike. New carb-to air cleaner tube. Runs great, but the clutch is stuck. I have all the repair parts on hand for the clutch repair. $1800. Bill of Sale only SOLD
Project 2
1975 CB200T with 5300 miles and original mufflers still installed. Engine top end rebuilt, carbs rebuilt, rusty front rim replaced with new rim and spokes. New tires, new cables, new starter switch on order, due soon. $2000 with current CA title. WAITING FOR PARTS
Project 3
1975 CB400F. 8400 miles, was stored since 1984. Carbs removed for cleaning, kits provided, new battery, new complete front brake system, new tires, fuel tank sealed up, new handlebars replacement right side cover, and switches, new instrument cushions, $1000 worth of new parts ready to install. $2200 new CA title SOLD
Project 4
1991
Honda NT650 Hawk GT. At first, I thought I would have to just sell
the wounded Hawk for cheap money, but after a closer look, it looks
like an easier fix than I thought. The seat cowl had a crack and a
broken grommet tip, so that went to my ace painter, Jerry, for
repairs and some fresh paint. I found a good used center stand on
eBay, but will need some help installing that one. The custom Corbin
seat is being replaced by the original mint stock seat, which came with the bike when it was purchased. Some turn signals need replacing. I
found what might be the last NOS shift pedal in Puerto Rico! The
broken aftermarket brake and clutch levers were replaced with the
stock take-off levers. The little ¼ fairing took almost all of the
big hit, saving the instruments. It’s a goner, so the bike will
revert to “naked” status again, as it was from the factory. The
handlebar ends were torn off, but some copies were secured. I might have
to replace the left handlebar, as the end was pretty ground off. So,
the Hawk comes off the market. I won’t have full use of the right
thumb until the end of May, so there is no big hurry on the repairs.
