On a roll !

In the last couple of weeks I've got hold of:

For the H1A
The correct, grey, NOS rear brake cable
The missing left hand headlamp bracket

For the J1T
The rare as hens teeth and very odd rear mudflap - brand new!
A full set of reasonable indicators - not easy as I don't think that they were used on anything else
Good condition crankshaft and magneto rotor to replace the mullered one that were on my bike
NOS air filter element
The missing rear silencer bracket - and it was in a bag of odds and ends so I didn't even know I was buying it!
Side stand, pin and Spring
And I think I've got hold of the right front footrest rubbers as well

It's addictive, this searching for parts business. Going to have to buy another bike soon, just so I have an excuse to go on the hunt again :lol:

My daughter tells me that she's been signed up to collecting my nectar points off e bay for years - apparently she can nearly live off of them!!!

Congrats on finding the parts! I've had a short list of "hens teeth" parts for several years.

A couple years ago it included"

1- NOS Yammy Turbo seat-----bought Mid-Ohio 2009 or 10- Project complete and it's a blast to ride.
1- '74 NOS RD350 plum purple side cover-------found MINT side cover 18 mos ago at show in PA.- Project still waiting
1- NOS H2C front fender------ bought on fleabay for $50 (labeled as "Hondayamakawasuki fender") in 2013
1- Set of NOS H2C pipes----------bought 50 mile pipes from forum member--- for $600 (also included a H2C seat) last year
-All done
1- CB350 right carb body-------bought at Mid-Ohio 2013
1- CB350-G NOS fuel tank Iris Purple....bought newly new off Craigslist for $110 incl shipping from California in 2013- Restored bike and gave to Kerry


Now, I'm all "caught up" with nothing left on my list.....but I'm glad it's over. It is fun when you have several projects and aren't in a rush to find a particular part....then it's ok but when you need something to complete a project, it's not so fun to me!
