I recently received a lovely short windshield for the cost of shipping and I was reminded of a thread on a bicycle forum I am a member of. Any way this is pretty simple. If you have some old parts laying around that you don't anticipate ever using you offer them for free here. If you want to be paid for shipping that's fair but in my case I'll cover the postage as long as you don't mind budget postal shipping. Anyway here are the goods
1 shiny fairing bling (I'm sure that isn't what Honda called it) unfortunately minus the Honda emblem
and 1 left marker/blinker light whit a slight bit of damage to the lens all the rest of it is perfect including the rubber and bulb
I know they aren't perfect but they are functional if you need them and most of all they are FREE
So if anyone else has some bits laying about post them up and help a brother or sister out
Murray, I need to come check you out, your scrap bin might be a fertile ground for my twisted mind. I need to find a day I can bring the bike, maybe get you to do some lovin on the carbs and I need to pick up some of your pipes and a filter adapter. Tomorrow might be too soon, but maybe next Friday or Saturday if that's cool? I need a part of a windshield, basically any windshield I can cut down to work on my murdercycle.
I have a front brake master cylinder from a 79 CX500 Custom that is complete and functional, no leaks, just kinda ugly, with the slanted reservoir that was standard with the buckhorn bars. I replaced it when I switched to Daytona bars and wanted something that sat level.
I've got one of those plastic toolbox racks that mounts under the right side cover of Customs, minus the rubber strap that holds things in place (I already gave that away.) Basically like-new condition. I took it off because I was running without side covers for a couple years, and didn't have the original toolkit anyway.
Also, I have what I THINK is the original tail light assembly for a 79 Custom, a little surface rust inside the chrome base part, but fully functional. Recently replaced with a tombstone taillight/turn signal combination because it's kewl, even though a pedigreed inspector tells me it's not really legal because the turn signals are too close together, but that's my problem.
the final drive will only fit on a cx650e swingarm or cx650 custom or turbo it will not bolt on to any other version of the twin nor will the back wheel go on the drive the coupler does not mesh
I love the concept of this thread, but I have a thought about it. I believe that it should be reserved for those folks offering items. If you're looking for an item, you should be placing a WTB in the Buying/Selling forum. Otherwise this will just become a duplicate of the other. Any other thoughts?

Since I am an active participant I agree,too many threads get cluttered up with crap,that's why I suggested a separate sub heading in the buy and sell section.
I have a clutch lever assembly with that little switch I just found in the garage, I bought an assembly with cable from e-bay when I first bought the bike and just used the cable. Free just pay actual shipping cost.
Waaaaaitttt a minute! Are you implying that your family is important and gets the primo time slot in your week? That's a very un-modern concept in our age of self-indulgence.....kudos for you.
It is supposed to be free stuff offered not asked for perhaps a moderator could clean it up and someone can start the I need free stuff thread.
This is an older thread, you may not receive a response, and could be reviving an old thread. Please consider creating a new thread.
