Here is the 86 I picked up a few weeks ago. It's mostly cosmetics except where the chain piled up and busted up the left case good. The top end only has 10hrs max and the bike ran good until the chain incident. I've got a set of cases on the way along with bearings, gaskets, seals and a few other parts to get it in riding shape. I plan a full tear down and rebuild of it soon.

I've got a brand new never mounted white hood like that. I need to put it on. Doesn't look bad at all

It was like Christmas time yesterday........cases showed up with the water pump rebuild kit and a tube of three bond. Just waiting on the package with the gaskets and seals then I'll be in business. In the mean time I've got a set of cases to clean.....

Well dammit man........the order with my bearings, seals and gaskets still hasn't shipped. I ordered some small hardware also and that's what's holding my order up. Nothing productive getting done this weekend.

We don't have a Honda shop here so I order from Service Honda online. Usually takes 12 days before they get here. Just have to look ahead and get everything you may need for an upcoming build.

There use to be one here in town. Great prices on everything. Do they sell OEM Honda parts?

Yes the do. They are a local company from Portland Or, their part's wearhouse is located in Michigan that why it take the week for the parts to get to Oregon
