I think from memory the spacers are pretty basic, if it all comes off I can easily drop mine out, measure up and a friend with a metal lathe should be able to spin some up for you. Alternatively try Dismantlers / wreckers of Honda, Suzuki, Yamaha, Kawasaki Japanese road motorcycles / motorbikes. Used / secondhand parts for your motorcycle or motorbike. in Wellington, he's wrecking a Mk1 at the moment and I wouldn't imagine front axle spacers are something that there is an incredibly high demand for.

 

Cheers TK, so long as I can get the price down, I'll definately give it a nudge.

PS, I've been nominated for rotm, could ya give us a nudge too eh

 

And the fellow Kiwi leaps into the lead. I hope your new pictures are better thou mate.

 

Crikey so do I TK, hehe, I'm no photographer. The project bike auction closes in under 2 hours now, no bidders, hopefully it stays that way so I can get another good chance to neg the price down.

 

Isn't that always how it goes - no apparent interest but all these guys have autobids set up and come in at the last minute. I watched a de reged Kwaka 350 triple (that hasn't run in twelve years) go from $600 to $1500 in about 3 minutes last week.

I suppose you have to think "good on you" - you're a braver man than me. I think the better way to find them (because they are out there) is just constant putting it out there that you're in the market.

And always follow kiwiJK's advice, have a blank set of change of ownership papers in the glovebox so they don't get time to change their minds.

 

faking suspense is killing me here - so what transpired ??

 

Amazing, someone paid $1100 NZL for it, hard to believe really. Not to worry, I'll keep my eye out for another Mk1 and in the meantime keep accumulating parts as I come across em at honest prices.

TK, I know what you mean, a work mate has been looking for old Kwaka 250 triple parts for ages, ended up getting via ebay for less than what he could find here in NZ.

PS I like the change of pappers in the GB tip too, will keep that in mind.

Cheers all

 

Oh well there's always more .......... 1100 is ott imo

 

To true Sprock.

 

Chin up R, kiwiJK has managed to find two $300 CBR1000's in Wellington within twelve months. There must be some other ones out there, unless hes' cornered the market.
