I thought I would start a thread to see if anyone has any random old parts lying around that they would like to see put to use, rather than throw them in the garbage or go through the mental anguish of trying to sell them on Craigslist or eBay.

If someone posts something you want in this thread, send them a PM. Please don't clog the thread up with extra conversation.

I'll start.

I've been doing some spring cleaning around the shop and hopefully these will be of use to someone.

Absolutely free, just pay the shipping or pick them up.

Three signal assemblies from a 1970s Honda (CX500 to be exact), one front and two rear. Chrome is good and two of the three lenses have no cracks. Should fit other models.

Two vintage clamp-on mirrors, brand new.

The only catch is, they have to be used on a project. Free doesn't mean it disappears into your parts heap for all eternity. I can hoard stuff and never let it see the light of day just as well as anyone else.

If you don't use it, pass it on to someone who can.

I'll be listing more as I clean house.

Maybe a moderator can make this a sticky if they wish.

Good Idea.  I'll have to check my spares box to see if there is anything I know I will NOT be needing.

I have a few things.  I'm writing this from my office so haven't checked, but for sure I have a decent seat pan for a '76 KZ900 along with the cushion.  I also have a front fender for an LTD model.

Good idea. I'll go through my stuff as well.

Shawn how does getting cash for these part sound.
Which you can keep, or donate.....if..
Only if... You dont worry about when I use them....     Let me know..Thanks.

Frank did you misunderstand Shawn?

I did not misunderstand him.. But no takers.. And I need to find some signals for the four or more bikes I have.
Dont know if I will use them this year.
Am thinking of building a chopper, can use the mirrors.. Again no takers...

So i made the (perhaps indecent ) proposal..... Its just one of the methods of chasing parts.

stock pipes Ducati 907ie
stock Triumph Bonneville mirrors

Hey, I have a Paso907ie, with good exhaust but spares can't hurt, mirrors are a good thing too as I have a few Triumphs. Can I get you to put them on the bus to Kamloops and I will certainly reimburse for cost and effort. PM me for address details if this is okay.

Frank

I can bring them with me to Osoyoos this weekend if that works.

If not I will put them on the bus.

Shawn

I cant get to Osoyoos.. .. I can grab them later or thru the network.. Thanks..

Bear and Boris might get them for you.

I would but my 900 cant carry anything.

Frank what are you getting because if its some mirrors and  lights I might be able
 to put them in my back pack.

Henry its ok dont need it this weekend...  Lets make sure Shawn has a good ride, not bringing something to complicate things..

Seems like a whole lotta miscommunication. Too many Franks and Too many mirrors. And too many Triumphs and Triumphs.

Gotta love it!

Bear

Sorry guys, they'll have to wait.

I did a test-pack on my new backpack tonight and I don't even have room for a pair of shoes. Going to have to spend the car show in my boots.

Shawn

Go minimal Shawn. Tooth brush & credit card.

I want to see a picture of Twisted with the Paso Exhaust around his neck for the ride.

Nope.

Need my jacket liner, tools, lock and detail stuff. It's a show after all.

Man up! A little cool riding never hurt anyone. I'll lend you my Z1, you won't need tools. Put a rag in your pocket to wipe it down.

I'd rather push my 'Guzzi  >:D

Sorry I don't give free stuff to hoarders as the original post said

You binging a support vehicle just in case >:D

Don't forget the case of oil ;D

You guys need to find a new joke.

Sorry Shawn

So much for not clogging up the thread with useless posts.

Shawn they all go sideways and that's just the way it goes so maybe FFF could make them Sticky, that should resolve your frustration with us old guys. :D

If I were looking to buy a Wing, I wouldn't get a '76. I'd get a later 1100-5speed. And yes, they're pretty cool naked.

76 5 speed Naked Gold Wing is the grail of Wings, they look better today then our eyes presented them to us 40 years ago.  Real spokes and no Vetter junk on them ( no offence to Vetter fans intended)

Sorry Shawn, inadvertantly posted in the wrong thread.

Sorry Shawn,  I replied to a wrong post on the wrong thread.  Please recall my post so this thread does  not get derailed as I believe it was originally  about collector plates.

Ya, maybe. Can't tell from the photo, does it have the bar mounts?

It doesn't currently have any bar mounts but I might be able to find some, maybe

Ya, I'm not really all that interested. It was just a thought. I only just got the last registered owner for that LTD from ICBC. So in a month or so, I should be able to get title. Then I will actually start another project.

  Free, headers and peashooter mufflers for 1970-1974 Norton Commando. These came off my brother's '72 full race tune 810cc Dunstall. They got hot. Aviation fuel real hot.  Maybe could be used for a matt black look.

I have a set of new OEM Honda fork seals, still in original sealed package, numbered 51490-MAC-741.  Partzilla shows these seals fitting models:

This Honda 51490-MAC-741 SEAL SET, FR. FORK fits the following models and components:

I haven't the faintest idea where I picked these up - I have a feeling that I ordered seals on eBay for something esle and these seals were delivered.  Free to a good home.

Free Emgo Universal Tapered Shorty Muffler

Inner diameter inlet: 38.1mm (1.5")

Parm,

Could you bring that muffler to the Show. I would appreciate having that.

Bear

Sure can, will be there Sunday.

I have come across what looks to be a bunch of early CB 550 parts. Most of an engine, taillight and some other trim pieces. Let me know if you have interest and I'll send some pics. Free to me, free to you.  Cheers. Mark.

Definitely interested in those Mark will pm you.

i have some cb500 , frame and engine parts you are welcome to .

RD400 Yamaha frame, looks fine, 1A1-352526  mfg 8/77
In Victoria

Had some riding gear given to me the other day.

Ladies small or extra small, not sure exactly.

1 pair of leather chaps
1 pair of gloves
1 set of nylon rain gear
1 quilted vest
1 heated vest
Some random bits I think.

I'll bring it to coffee on Sunday

Free if you can use it or if you know someone who can.

couple windshields.
The spitfire just needs mounts which are still available and the other is a shorter wind shield for Honda ST1100. I used it in the summer. Forgot to give to the guy I sold bike to.

I might be interested in the ST shield. Do you have a picture of it?

Here's a photo

luggage rack with large Suzuki logo on the backrest pad, came off a GS1000   free to member

Hey Scotty, I could use the carrier. Are you around your shop on Tuesday, the 21st?  It can go on my gs1100. My grandson needs a bit of a backrest. Kurt

sure come and get it, if i have to leave for any reason i will leave it over at Big Top

Thanks Scotty. Kurt

FREE:
-1979 kz1000 Policebike frame. I can get title but that’s not free, notary and PST cost.
-1979 kz1000 head
-1979 kz1000 Policebike front end (it’s the wider bigger mk2)

If no response, it’s off to the recycler.

1980 kz1000 LTD $150

Once upon a time I began dismantling this bike. Didn’t get far. I have title, hence the $150. The Kawasaki electronic ignition is worth that.

If no response, it’s off the recycler.

Is anything missing from it Ross?

Yup. Missing a bunch. It was EXTREMELY corroded when I got it. It had been down. I shouldn’t have bothered getting it. I took a few bits off of it. I reckon the motor is good but needs dismantling. No pipes. If no one says “yes, I’ll take it” in the next day or so, I’ll strip out the electrical and dismantle it so I ca take it to the recycler. I’m in clear-out mode, not dickin’ around.

FREE kz650 carbs. Missing choke plungers, float, and one overflow tube leaks.

If no response, it’s off to the recycler.

Ok. So, I’m clearing out all my motorcycle stuff. If you need/want any KZ/Z1 parts ask me in the next day or two. If I have it, I’m sure we can come to an arrangement. There is some stuff I’ll hang onto until some later date, body parts and the like. But pretty much am gonna ditch most of it.

Are you selling your bikes?

Ross would say yes,  his wife would say no.

To be determined.

Free. Kz1000 stock airbox, snorkel, and tool tray.

Free set of KZ1000 aftermarket pistons.  I think they're Wisco but no markings on them to confirm.  They are higher compression though...as you can see from the photo.

I would guess Venolia, MTC or RC.
  Wiseco pistons are usually very plain looking.
 Can you measure size , could be a nice bore kit for someone..

I'm pretty sure they're 70 mm but they might be 69.5.  The PO bored out the original 903 cc cylinders and installed these pistons along with a set of Kenny Harmon cams.  The cams have about 1 extra mm of lift.  I don't need the cams.  If someone wants them PM me and I'll provide measurements.

I checked the inside of the pistons and found that someone had inscribed "RR" inside them.  Photo is attached.

I have quite a selection of old MC magazines out or the '70's, '80's and '90's. Popular brand magazines at the time........and quite a selection of "On the Level"............BMWRA and MOA monthly publications..........please come and take them all, or if you want to browse and take what you prefer........bring beer!

Give me a call if interested.

Free heated vest. Lemme know.

Alpinestar Tech 2 boots, women’s size 7. Like new.

We've been trying to stick around home lately due to social distancing.  Sweetums has been busy in the house, painting most of the downstairs.  I've spent a lot of time cleaning and tidying up the bikes and the shop.  I decided I had waaaay too much stuff, so I sorted out the extras and decided to get rid of a few things.  The stuff in the photo below mostly fits Z1/KZ1000 bikes and is surplus to my needs.  If anyone wants something they are welcome to it by paying only for shipping or by coming and picking it up themselves.....from a distance of course!

Fee clutch cable.  Motion Pro part no. 05-0129.  Fits Yamaha YZ125, WR200R.
