Heading to the Swap meet...

[Mr_Dunev]

Going to see if I can find any parts for some of my projects. I wish I could wear a hat with a video camera and take orders from other members, on here who might be looking for specific parts/pieces. Fingers crossed they have a '71 airhead tachometer!!!

I haven't been to this one before. It happens about once a month, 30 min outside of Los Angeles.

Nice.
My advice, if you plan on sticking with this hobby, is buy wherever you like that's cheap. You'll use it eventually

Or end up selling it to me.

This has been so true for me it's ridiculous. I'll buy something that I see for $10 I have no use for at the moment, but 6 months later it is just what I need.

I just cleaned my shop and hung up all my parts on a wall. I call it my cafe racer starter kit.
Seat, tank, shocks, bars etc.
I could put together a "cafe racer" in a day haha.

You couldn't put together a puzzle in a day.

EVERYTHING WAS HARLEY, barely any Jap pieces. Saw a "cafe" '75 CB450 for $5000 ???

The only tempting deal were 2 yellow ct90's for $600. They were just too rough for me.

I did see 2 Eddie lawson Kawi's and they were SWEEEEET.

There was also a nice original CB350, but again the price was too high, at around $2,800

Most of the prices at the place seemed retail, unless you dig through piles of old rusty Harley parts, but even then they wanted an arm and a leg for some pieces

That's too bad.

We don't have too many swap meets around the area here (Toronto)
