Stay positive!....some of the stuff I got, took a couple years of relentless scouring e-bay several times a day to find certain parts.
Over the past 2 1/2 years I've spent $8K+ on 2 complete transmissions, 4 complete sets of KIPS systems, a brand new in the box cylinder, 2 brand new heads, and 1 brand new in the box crank for my 500...all came from the Netherlands  :wink:

I know all to well. I've built a few vintage DOHC hondas and found many NOS parts. Many from Japan. I don't want to go nuts. But we will see!

Ask how many guys have said that...and then looked back when they're done, and realized they spent $1K or more than what they...ahem...expected  :mrgreen:

I decided I need to buy a carb for the bike. I really don't want to spend the money on a new carb or a lectron. Can anyone recommend a good used carb I can look for? I heard all of these bikes using the carb mind came with have the same problem. Won't idle and run rich. This is due to the jet block leaking.
