Yeah. I also have a 1970 c70m that I need to find a few parts for as well.

Nothing at all near me in UK and certainly no '60s stuff.

Here it's either 'word of mouth' swaps or trades and eBay. Even then nothing like the quantity or price in US.

I'm lucky that I get to travel......

I understand that but as it seems every time a mention of parts or what someone has you seem to have what may be considered as "more than others" compared to a average MC hobbyist.
I'm not a hobbyist Per Say as I made up my mind in 1965 that what I do today was going to happen and my Main Objective Would be to help others with parts and repair and answers to things pertaining to the early HONDA'S I loved so they could ride and enjoy what I enjoyed from 1963 to 1966 when I rode and loved them. .................lm

Thanks G-MAN for the information. I did buy the restoration manuals as well, so I think I'm in pretty good shape between those and this forum.

Hey DianneB, I did get carbs last year, but I'll take a look at what else he has that I could use. Nice to see a fellow Manitoban here!

When I was taking apart the left-side crankcase I realized the gear shift arm had been welded on to the spindle. I think I found a spindle gear shift through the Ebay seller mistermonkeyclaw, but was unable to track down the gearshift arm. I just wanted to make sure that I was tracking down the correct part, it is called a Arm Gearshift - part # 24711-268-030, right?
