Me, I call it a reconstruction but not a restoration ...

This ^^^   I recently sold a completely professionally restored H1 on BaT and they would not let me use the word "restoration" in the description.

I got to say, one thing I have really enjoyed about my restoration is getting the details "correct". I think we all do. It's the next level of the hunt. Find the bike, find the parts, get it done. At the level of this auction bike, that all should be finished.

The last BaT Sandcast had a letter from Vic World in the comments verifying how great it was.

The carb to airbox rubbers seem to be the later style with the extra rib on the carb side. If I'm right, if, I am surprised that a detail like that would make it out of that restoration shop.

Parts Wanted / Recessed Ignition Switch

Hi, Looking for a recessed ignition. One of the last parts I need to get my Sandcast as close to correct as I can get. I may have trade material if that helps

Anyone have one to sell? New or used. One of the few things I need to make my bike right.

Well, someone put one up. Should be interesting. My limited knowledge of these can spot a lot of minor "inconsistencies".  Would be a great bike to finish to correct though.

Hi KP, I watched your auction with great interest thinking it would be a bellwether of how the post epidemic values are going. Of course, we sadly aren't post epidemic yet. Either way, what a great bike!

In the USA we have an auction site called Bringatrailer.com They have been having more and more motorcycle auctions. Not sure if they take overseas sellers but the buyers are there for sure. I have sold a car there and plan to list a bike in the near future.

How much for the fork ears?

Thanks

I'll trade them even for a set of used gold ones.

I have some parts and I need some parts. Before I go put these up for sale on the open market I thought I would see if I can just trade for parts I need.

I'm trying to make my Sandcast as correct as I can. The big things I need are recessed ignition and a no number exhaust. In that order.  Easy, right?

You can see my bike  here

I have a very nice seat, low foam style.
Blue fork ears, a little rough
Very nice DID front rim, missing a couple spoke nipples
Diecast tank, nice original paint, rusty inside
Emblems
1 into 4 carb cable
Couple sets of carbs, one early maybe sandcast?
Trans cover
Alt cover
Points cover
Mirrors with patten and logos

Just ask if you want more details or pics

I have a lot of parts left over. I think it would be great to trade them/some for a recessed ignition.

I hope we didn't restore the wrong gauges.

Thanks again Sam.

I just saw the links in your sig, I really like your work. I was just thinking the other day that I should buy your poster, I'm doing it now. You do very professional work, impressive.

Thanks! That is the help I am looking for. Not going to hurt my feelings, I'm a big boy. lol

I attached pics of what I think might be not correct.

I know the key is from a later bike.

The master cylinder is one with no line inside but I think the cap should be blank?

Two logos and a patent # on the mirrors

Are the exhaust heat shields painted or plated? I have a pair in primer

Original chain guard could use some help
