Steve , there was discussion on were prices would go after PP2110 sold auction for almost twice what PP2113 sold for.

The owners of the two listed on eBay today must feel that the same increase in value should apply to there Sandcasts.

It would be interesting to value what the original parts alone on these bikes would sell for on the eBay market. Tank, Seat, Carbs, Gauges, Etc.

I have been very surprised

at the prices some of these items will sell for on eBay.

For those interested here is some side by side photos of a Replica Seat Cover as compared to a original SandCast Seat
( yes the original is currently getting the forum recommended Skin So Soft Treatment , and I am getting the gears from my wife for smelling so good

)

The original seat , was removed from a new sandcast when new and replaced with a "queen" style seat. It then spent the last 49 years in storage.

From what I see from the side by side comparison "Replica" is almost an exact match in Logo, Color design and stitching.

The font looks to be a match, and the size would be correct once it is installed.

Hope this helps someone....

Hi all,

Thanks for the comments,included are additional photos.

History on the bike is : Two owners before me. In 1970 The 1st owner sold it to his friend ( the person I purchase it from).

In 1971 it was put into a basement and never started again until 2011. At that time there was some work done on it ( Carb rebuild and a few broken things fixed) Collector plates and a few miles were put on it , then it went back into storage. It has not been started since 2011.

The paint on the frame is in great shape, no rust, no paint chips.

What I know is wrong includes:
Some foam was removed from the seat, Tank emblems were polished removing the black, chromed side stand ( I assume they were never chrome), Baffles removed, valve cover bolts were changed, Right control switch has been changed, wrong hand grips.

Questions I have are : Is HM300 correct for the pipes or should they be No-Number ?

We will be working to replace the items that are not correct and bring the bike it true "survivor" class.

On our way home from a 3 day trip to pick up Sandcast 703 / E638

Same owner since 1970 and stored in his home since 1971.

Appears to be in nice original condition, some fading and a few things needs correction or replacement.

Still restoring #6225, comments from the Experts are welcome.

New Member Introductions / Yet another Canadian Sandcast

« on: July 25, 2017, 02:00:23 am »

Hi everyone glad to be part of the Sandcast community.

We have finally added a Sandcast to our collection, Frame CB750-1006223 , Engine CB750E-1006225 - Yes only 2 apart

The frame and engine are original and in good shape with low miles.

We purchased the bike from the second owner who aquired it in the early 1980's for use in an Ice Race , after the race, the bike was put into storage and never returned to street use.

I would prefer to restore the bike with Honda OEM parts , but I must admit the Yamiya Body set looks like a good option, I would be interested in comments from anyone who has used this option.

The Sandcast joins our 1969 Diecast Survivor and the most popular bike at our shop, a 1981 750K Police Special
