Great parts bike. Part it out, and keep all the good stuff.
So...how many bikes does that make now, TOOLS?

It will make number 11 in the personal collection. The guy is not sure if the engine stuck, but I have an 836cc top end I could put on it.

I went to check the bike out, and it looked a lot better in the picture. It had set in a car port since 1983. Every piece of chrome is rusted, even the fork tubes. The tires are rotten. The chain had to be cut to move it, and the spokes are even rusted. However the tank, seat, and side covers are in very good shape. The kick-starter, and tool kit were missing from under the seat, but the original owners manual was still there. The real good news is that the engine is good. The guy had no idea that it had a place, for a kick-starter, and was not able to turn the engine. I did talk him down on the price, and brought it home. It's resting comfortably in the shed now. Oh, the guy even gave ma a brand new Honda service manual.
