Have a mirror that has messed up threads from some shade tree with a standard coarse thread die.  Let it go for $30.00.  Has correct 16mm wide bracket and double logo mirror back.  This mirror could be repaired or used for parts as the threaded stem behind the bracket can be impossible to replace if you need one.  I can rebuild mirrors or let you know how as well.  Just use soapy water and a credit card to push the gasket down and pop out the glass.  

Fender Sold.  Still have a gold air box.  The center divider is stuck in the top half of the box.  Leave it alone and all will be fine.  Box has been wet sanded to remove extra layers of paint but I left as much of the gold on as an original base layer as possible.  Body lines and original factory molding marks are still in tact.  Has two very minor cracks on top half lip edge.  let it go for $200.00.   

I'm modifying this thread so check back on it from time to time.

I always send pictures before I take payment and I prefer to use paypal.  Postage is straight forward with no handling fees.  insurance optional.  I don't like to post to countries that packages can not be tracked to but will with the understanding that your customs is to blame for delays.  


Coming soon is a recessed ignition that needs wire plug end work.  Has an original plug key but no steering lock.  Shade tree left tool marks on the outer edge from grabbing the front of it with pliers.  Once I repair the plug, this weekend I hope,  I'll list it with a bargain price due to the plier damage. 

Christopher_noel92@hotmail.com is my e-mail.  If you try to contact me through this site I think you'll get my 11 year old college e-mail that I haven't used in as many years.

Is the 11mm mirror in fact an 11mm?  The wrench being held up to it in the photo is hard to judge weather it is going to fit around the stem or not. 

Certainly a better bargain than the mirror with a cracked bracket listed for nearly $300.00.

I'm dumb founded as to how this guy even got these cases apart but they are early so here you go.

Normally I'd watch  an auction that starts this low and try to pick it for myself but this one is beyond my skills.  Looks like they were under water or at least exposed to lots of the elements.

Do these look original under the rattle can paint to you?  Look like they are to me and have never had louver screens installed.  I'm in money recovery mode or I'd snap them up my self.  http://www.ebay.com/itm/Honda-CB750-69-70-Left-Side-Cover-Remake-/400581946044?pt=Motorcycles_Parts_Accessories&hash=item5d448b6abc&vxp=mtr

I'm sure this frame and cases will rise from the ashes as a complete bike again.  More likely an early Diecast or two could use saving from us than the other way around.  Hope to find one myself someday.

« on: September 22, 2013, 05:40:13 pm »
Here's a man that isn't scared to run a real auction!  He's parting out a very early vin sandcast and starting everything at a penny.  I threw down a $50.00 bid on this auction but I know someone will pay much more for this holly grail.  http://www.ebay.com/itm/231060306624?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649

Anyways, I'm serious about the thumb button for the gas cap if any of you would consider going lite on me with that one.

Received my parts today from the Precision Motorcycle Painting and I'm very thankful that he took the time to pack them properly.  The box with everything but the tank in it looked like it had a rough voyage the but the parts came out un-harmed.  I've learned to spend a little time with work like this before I declare that I'm pleased.  Well, I spread the parts out on my patio table, looked at them at different angles, considered problems I've encountered before and I cant find a single thing to squabble about.  The color is spot on and I consider the work to be top notch.

If your painter is looking for a part to match I'd suggest buying a Yamiya part rather than sending pictures.  I've looked at quite a few pictures of this paint job before getting the parts back and none of the pictures tell the truth.   Craig used a Yamiya head light bucket to match this paint job and he still has it for future reference.

Parts Wanted / Fork tubes.
« on: September 08, 2013, 08:58:47 am »
Also need a set of fork tubes.  Cleaned off the rust leaving pits in my originals some years ago.  The pits are not in areas to affect the seals but I knew even then I wasn't going to settle on black paint over pits under my fork ears.  Only did so to get the chassis assembled. 

Open to recommendations on where I could find a set.

Paint is curing so I wont see it first hand for a week but the pics look great.
Craig was also willing to install my cap and trim but I don't have them ready yet.  
He claims to have a removable rivet that wont chip the paint but I'm going to see if I can get my original to work.    

Now I'll have one motorcycle each in the two 69 Honda CB750 colors.

I actually have two steering lock and ignition sets.  One I'd value at $250.00 and the other is among the nicest I've seen for a long time that I'd value at $400.00 or more. 

I need a Yamiya seat cover and red foam from Yamiya as well.  Also need and NOS left badge for the side cover, nice dull finish heat shields and or handlebar controls. 

The prices I'm quoting are very reasonable so I'd expect you to be too.  I'm bringing up the trade thing so I assume I'll have to eat a little on the value but lets not get crazy.

If you want to buy outright I'm inclined to let the cheaper ignition go rather than the nicer.  The third best ignition I've ever had isn't going to just walk out of my hands for nothing tangible.

410 371-2938, Chris.

Don't know how they guy missed it but the pic clearly shows the H code on the key and the ignition.  The listing is calling it a T code.  

Less threads for the lock ring and plastic housing on back.  If you must have it I can fix it though.  Can't fix that it's wrong, just the condition.

Old thread I know but it's relevant to the paint work I'm having done so I don't think I should start a new one. 

One other sandcastonly member and myself have our body work at www.precisionmotorcyclepainting.com right now and were having candy blue green painted on them.  The painter is using a Yamiya part to match our paint color and I should be getting my parts back within this month.  He is painting the stripes on for us as well and I get the feeling he is being very thorough in regards to the body work for me.  Had me send a set of badges to ensure the body work on the left side of my tank comes out perfect. 
 
Good bad or indifferent I'll report again with pictures.

Paint - Badges and Component Refinishing / Re: Side cover date codes
« on: August 04, 2013, 04:14:13 pm »
Definitely had date codes on my original covers from frame 5640.  Have since sold them on but I remember they weren't too far away from the date codes on my engine.  Looked like they used a stamp with changeable dates for the month and year as I remember.  The kind of stamp that grocers use, or retailers used to use for receipts.

Pictures can be deceiving especially with this color.  What is it anyways, Blue or Green?  I think, when the color is right that is the question that it should raise.  Myself and one other member have our body work away for paint right now at Precision Motorcycle Painting in Indiana.  I personally have not seen the Yamiya body work first hand but my painter is using a Yamiya blue/green part to match the color for us.  I'll give a report with pictures as soon as I get my body work back.

So far the only parts re-chromed on my Sandcast are the rims.  Had the plate shop copper plate and polish until the rust pits were gone then scuff up the copper to look like original before chrome.  He did a perfect job and didn't go too far.  It was like asking an artist to smear his wet paint on the canvas but with a little convincing he understood the result I was after.

When I send him the fenders it'll be the same as I'd like to have the belt sander marks on the rear fender forward of the grommet hole back as well.  I also notice some slight marks on the front fender in the crotch of the rolled edges along the sides.  Still debating if I'll ask for those back as they are slight.  Might be enough to push a man over the edge too.
