I am still on the fence with this bike - I think I have several parts that might be worth something. I am wondering if you know approximately value of them.
Air pump and brackets
Carb covers
Rear Rack.
Thanks - Don

Thanks for the info - I have been using base/clear for quite awhile. I like it because you can shoot a couple of clear coats the sand and buff if you need to. A bit more expensive - base paint is anywhere from $45 to $85 depending whats in the mix but a pint will do a lot.
If I could get around $250 for a few parts then I would only be in this bike for about $100 which makes me a bit happier. It's been a couple of years since I did the last one and it seems parts are harder to find and more expensive - I looks like rims and spokes are close to $300.
I am including a pic of a 1975 CB450 (350F in background). Note much of the aluminum has been polished. I polish a bit of stuff for local folks that are restoring - I owe you one so if you have something you need polished send it off - free to you.
Thanks - Don

for $150 I will buy all the air pumps/brackets you got. I have to say that #is a little low. the last pump I sold I got $500.
Thanks

Yes - if it went up for auction it could probably get that. I have three which I picked up over the years for my three early Dreams. Cheapest one was $50 and the most expensive $180 but that was probably three years ago and prices are creeping up if you see one on eBay.

I use base / clear on metallic pains but not on the solid covers.
This is my 'personalised CL77' which still needs finishing. The blue is a rover car color.
I have been having random crazing problems when I clearcoat over silver but not on normal colors. I have some fenders to do so I am going to take great care with those.
I do my own polishing but don't really enjoy it.
I'll take a look in my speedo collection for you........

Looks like polishing and a bit of chrome work - There is no easy way to polish, especially the very old oxidised stuff.
Who is doing your chrome? I am in Austin and we only have one plater and his pricing shows it.
I have had problems with base/clear and plastic parts. Even if I start with a sealer it still sometimes will react with the paint.
If you really want the air pump let me know - I generally do not "restore" but refurbish to have a good looking rideable bike. I might also part with the carb covers if the price was right.
I also have what I think is an original rear rack - Figured you might know - pic included

I am in the U.K. And get my chrome done at Prestige Electroplating about an hour's drive from my house.
I have all the pumps and carb covers I need for my bikes. There are plenty of people here who will give you a good price for both.
Not sure about the rear rack. Others may know better than me.
