Here's my latest purchase. quite an odd duck. If anyone know's where to find sidecovers I'll be very appreciative! Not sure what to do with it, maybe make it into a mailbox or mount it on the roof of the shop... Paul

Paul,
Did this bike come with a Dalmatian? Speaking of side covers can you explain the filler tube on this cover???

That's the filler neck for the oil tank. C71s were dry sump.

THe Dalmation was extra, so I passed.... Yep, that's the oil tank. My son wants to recharge the fire extinguishers, but I can't imagine that anyone would still do that for safety reasons. Does anyone know if these would have been like modern chemical extinguishers?

Paul, my guess would be that they were filled 3/4 full of water, then compressed air to 125psi. Do they have a shrader valve on top? A place that refills scuba tanks may be the best bet for the first air fill, and they do them in a tank, under water in case they blow. They may want nothing to do with them of course!

Thanks a bunch. I don't have the bike yet, so I'll need to look. If it's like any other wierd Honda projects, yea, they won't want anything to do with it. I just need to convince my wife it's ok to sink them in the swimming pool... Reminds me of the time I cleaned some parts in the kitchen sink.
