    Howdy boys and girls.
    I recently picked up a parts bike. Well, i got most of what i wanted off of it and have some leftovers. As the saying goes; one man’s trash is another man’s treasure. So before i start tossing things that aren’t being made anymore. Let me know if you need anything, and make an offer. Seriously, I’ll more than likely say yes.

    Actually i don’t see one. For that matter i don’t even see the stamping on the neck of the donor frame. As for my bike, there is a white tag and stamping on the neck.

    Who are you asking? Me? I don’t have any single right now, I was just trying to clarify which Carburetor you needed, since you had stated which one......that way someone would know what you needed. I only have complete racks that would be in need or rebuild. I don’t have any backrest assemblies for a 55o now, either. I might have a right-hand control assembly, but I’ll have to look around.

    Sorry to all that have been waiting. I’ve been a little swamped. I did however PM everybody that asked.
    I do have the backrest
    The throttle tube and the run/off switch housing is in good shape, but the start button is broken on it. I would like to keep the carb rack for now.
