1978 honda cb 550 oil pan and plug... HELP!!

[zretineo]

So, I bought a 78 cb550 off of cl for 300. ;D Almost runs... First things first right? I decided to change oil and filter, plugs, etc and so on. Well, while I was tightening the oil plug, the oil pan cracked and a piece dropped in the old oil. : Now it holds oil like a sive. I now need a oil pan just to get this thing to run. Do you have one? I sure could use it! How funny, try and clean it up and make it worse all at the same time. This is my first bike in 15 years. My lingo might be off. Please forgive. I am in Nashville Tn. please pm me if you have one laying around. THank you for your interest in my project!! Zac

sorry to hijack the thread but you don't by any chance have the airbox boots from the motor you stripped down? has to be a '77 or '78 K model-Thanks Patrick
