Have you tried honda dealership? They could order in the parts you need, but buying new parts means paying top dollar.... then again, buying new parts guarentee that they're in good working order.

Ooh.. the tire.. ouch! Looks like the rest of the bike is in great shape. You got a nice deal. Post some pictures when you get it painted and put back together again. Looking forward to seeing it finished.

There was a crack in the rear fender of mine and it was was repaired with 2 part epoxy plastic repair kit. It worked great and it's available at walmart, home depot.... It was smoothed out with body filler. Seems as though the plastic doesnt flex much once it's bolted to the frame anyhow.

The carb was cleaned last evening, it was alittle dirty and i hoped that this was the root of the problem but it's still acting poorly. I checked out the air filter and it has a piece of charcoal grey foam in it, is this what's supposed to be there or did the previous owner possibly replace the real...

I went to the honda dealership and they gave me a print out of a diagram of a spree carb. It tells how to take it apart and put it back together. Pretty nice of them i think. If i run into any troubles, vette, you'll be the first person i contact, I've never done anything like carb dismemberment.

the exhaust was painted with a heat resistant paint.... spray bomb style. It was scaley and alittle rusty so i just did some minor sanding and cleaned it up with paint. It seems like my carb is dirty. It tries to stall when i hit a bump or drive up a steep hill and it loses power when the throttle i...

Luckily my boyfriend is an airbrush artist and he also does autobody work. Between the two of us we came up with this paint scheme. I'm still se...

Mural? Scallops? It's white now but i'm going to change that too, just dont know what color to choose.....
