Where is the best place to find parts to a 1978 Honda motorcycle?
Hi, I have built over 14 CB750 Fs in the last 10 years, From 1975 to 82s. I have found that the best place is Ebay, but you have to be patient. I do have people that I have met over the years that supply/ have certain hard parts that they will sell you. Tanks are easy to find but be careful. Some people will grade a tank as excellent when in fact it is no good. Side covers are hard to find in excellent condition, I have 4 rights and 5 lefts….but I am holding on to them for now. I do rebuild the side covers and will paint them myself…Tank Badges and side cover badges are hard to find in excellent condition, but there is a guy in New Zealand that restores them…The OEM exhaust on the 1978s is another story…you will never find it…I have only seen 1 in 10 years.Seats are easy to find, except the silver strip on the bottom….I only know of 1 guy who will reproduce it for you for an arm and a leg. Be very careful whn looking for carburetors, You will have to buy 4 or 5 sets to get
