Looks like a good bit of parts and nice bikes. Those pipes are nice.

The tires however are very old and likely rather hard and once aired up will likely show some cracking. I know, I have those on my bike.

Actually the tires (the NOS ones, not the ones on the bikes) are nice and soft and rubbery still. Obviously the ones ON the bikes are dry rotted, but it is cool they still hold air.

OK the NOS tires have been put up on Ebay since a few people asked about them. If you search for Honda Dream tires you'll spot them.

The NOS exhaust will probably go up on Ebay also, but for now I'm considering offers. PM me if you're interested.

You mean the tubes hold air. Might want to let some air out of them before you blow a hole in the side of them.

Nice find on those bikes. Always good to see more surface.
