I emailed Yamiya and asked about the indicator light mechanism. Their reply was to ask if I was looking for the harness pictured below. So I'm guessing the Japanese speedo harness has the extra light bulb on it? I can't tell by the picture. But that's not the mechanism itself, so I stopped by my local Honda dealer and asked the lady in the parts department if they could order Japanese domestic parts. The reply I got was crickets....and a blank stare...and "Um...I don't think so." I have a cousin who teaches Japanese and spent some time there so I'm going to ask her to help me search the web for the remaining pieces to our puzzle. I'll post any finds.

Frame and Chassis Related Elements / Japanese Kickstand Info

Hi Guys,

Steven, is this the kick stand you're looking for? I found this on Yamiya's Japanese site. They do not offer it on the English side of the house. It's 89 bucks. Not bad to complete a unique restoration. One more piece of the puzzle.

Gauges - Levers and Cables / Metric Speedo & Tach (The Japanese Thread)
« on: February 25, 2010, 11:15:57 am »
I purchased a parts lot from a guy about 6 months ago and have been finding nice K0 treasures ever since. Recently I uncovered the nice set of metric gauges pictured below. First, the red light in the center of the triple tree, is it a previous owner mod, or is it correct? It seems like I read something somewhere about an indicator on the Japanese models, but I think that’s a long shot. Second, what to do with them? My first inclination was to throw them on e-bay, but I’ve recently been thinking about putting them on sandcast 5920 just to have something unique. Or if there is a European or Aussie member who needs them, I might be open to a trade. Thoughts & Opinions???

Engine Mechanical / Cylinder casting question for later sandcast
« on: February 23, 2010, 05:51:19 pm »
I’m about to take delivery of sandcast 5920 with engine number 6000. Unfortunately the cylinder has a couple of broken fins. I want to replace it, but make sure I’m using the right style. I know that it shouldn’t have the cam chain bolt hole, but what about the casting modification? Picture A is of a sandcast cylinder, picture B is of a later casting that does not have the bolt hole drilled. Would “B” be correct for a late sandcast such as engine 6000? Or do I have to acquire an “A” for certain? Thanks for all your help.

Wheels - Hubs - Spokes - Tires / Two Hole Rear Wheel & Rounded Rim
« on: February 23, 2010, 05:32:03 pm »
Is the two hole rear wheel correct for all sandcast vins or only some? And is the rounded rim a separate entity or is it synonymous with the two hole wheel? I have this wheel on 2636, but 5920 has a regular 4 hole. The latter has many incorrect parts, so I have no confidence in it as a good example. P.S. I searched the board, but couldn't find a solid answer. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
