The bike i would actually be willing to take on a straight trade would be a newer cb1100 2013-14 would work for me. I've seen them used with around 6k miles go for under $6K...if someone wants to trade for one straight up I'd be willing to consider.

Well I want to sell my bike or trade it for Ducati Sport Classic from 2006 - 2010. Will also take other bikes in for trade depending on the condition. My bike is a sandcast engine & frame bike...was verified on the sandcast forum by one of the members as well as my mechanic who gave me the good news. My bike is titled in CA as a 71, but it's actually a 69 from what I've been told. Here are some pictures of what it looks like and how I picked it up this past August. It's my first bike and rather than use this classic bike I rather move it on to someone who would appreciate it. I know it's not an original bike, but rather a cafe racer style bike...I'm sure someone could bring this beauty back to original condition with a lil parts hunting and elbow grease.

Anyway let me know what you've got and what ya'll think?

Looking for the following parts:

• Front & Rear Fender (including Hardware if possible)
• Chain Guard (including hardware if possible
• Headlight bucket (including lense & hardware if possible)
• Horn (including wiring & hardware if possible
• Triple tree
• Both Left & Right controls switches (good/great wiring)
• Both Left & Right Mirrors (good condition)

Note that my bike is a 1969 bike, but titled as a 1971 in CA and I'm trying to get the correct parts on my bike.

Thanks in advance,

Mando

"Anyway, long story short is that I got engine# 1006111 and frame# 1012795"

E6111 should be a September 69 production date; last month for sandcast production.

Frame 12795 should be near a November 69 production date.  VIN data in the VIN Directory will bear this out. 

The VD is interesting to study in terms of comparing cc casting dates to vin ranges.  9/69, roughly 2500 units produced  10/69, roughly 3000 units were produced.  11/69 roughly 4000 units produced.  12/69 roughly 3000 units produced.  1/70 roughly 4200 units were produced.  2/70 roughly the same number of units.  3-4/70 appears to have dropped off somewhat compered to previous months.  5-6/70, appears around 10000 units were produced.  Interestingly enough, we have a "K0" frame documented having a 7/70 mfgr date.  Numbers and dates has always intrigued me.

Steve, with that said would that mean my frame matches my bike or?? I'm very interested in finding out if my bike's engine goes with the frame.

What I find weird is that my bike frame doesn't have the id/vin tag on the right side of the frame as most bikes???

A local shop in my area told me that the frame could be sandcast 69 as well since my bike doesn't have the id/vin tag on the right hand side...but who knows how true that is. My bike is titled as a 71 but as mentioned they told me it's a 69. 

My bike has some new style carbs and will need help in sourcing some older ones...would like to change back to original airbox at some point with the correct side covers too.

Lastly, If anyone has some info on electrical as I'm trying to tackle why my idiot lights (specifically my neutral light) aren't lighting up would be helpful. Some diagrams and what I need to look for would be extremely helpful too.

Thanks in advance guys!!

Hello guys, new to this forum and looking forward to learning a lot from you folks.

This is my first Honda and I lucked out with stumbled on to my sandcast by luck. Was looking for a Honda cb750 that was a decent driver for my daily commute and the guy I got it from was a harley guy so he dismissed the bike right off the bat.

Anyway, long story short is that I got engine# 1006111 and frame# 1012795

My mechanic was the one who told me that I had a sandcast engine and that it was rare and if I wanted to sell it and of course I declined!! 

I'm sure I'll be asking questions in the near future as these forums are very usefull.
