As I move closer to retirement, I have started collecting vintage Honda mini trails from the late 60's and early 70's. I love their simplicity and compact size for tinkering in the shop.
I'm always on the lookout for parts. If anyone has leftovers from their restoration or just old parts collecting dust, let me know. It seems I'm always needing flywheel covers, shift levers, coils, carbs & intakes, kick starters, etc.
I stick to the horizontal engine stuff, so..... looking for parts off of:
Honda's qa50, z50, ct70, sl70, xl70
One part, entire basket case or complete non-running bikes.
Thanks.

I use ebay on stuff where I don't want to use used parts: seat covers, timing chains, timing gears, etc. I've even purchased a couple of carbs. I gotta admit, I was a little skeptical about buying a $26.00 carburetor off of ebay, but they work great. And sure beat trying to clean the crap out of a 40 year old carb.
Your bikes look awesome, mine aren't nearly as nice. And I agree, the bike I love to ride the most is a hardtail '71 z50 that I pulled from the scrapyard almost 20 years ago. Looks like hell, but brings a smile to face every time I fire it up.
My pics are on my computer at work, I'll get some posted tomorrow.

If you don't go to Mid-O, I would suggest going. You can't walk 5 feet without tripping over one of those little suckers. They are everywhere and go for top dollar with that crowd.

I have a 1972 Honda Trail 70 for sale. Text 317 538 2361 if you might be interested. Thank you Sorry, not looking for finished, running bikes. I work on these to give me something to do, a finished bike doesn't fit my needs. |
