This would be a great bike to restore, but good luck getting parts from Honda.

Can anyone recommend a local locksmith who is able to make a copy of my 1982 Honda? I've tried calling Honda dealerships and a bunch of motorcycle stores and canadian tire to get keys and no luck... The blanks are not a usual shape !

talk to Jim at Absolute Lock and Key. Based in Maine, but amazing service, price, quality - and he's a rider, too!

you didnt notice the fork seals were leaking on bike #34? how did it pass tec?

Haha, those would likely be tie wraps to tell if the fork oil level is correct.
You add or remove fork oil based on the actual travel vs the total available travel.

I just went through this on my bike a few months ago...if they are vintage racing her then it likely matters even more to them how the suspension is "tuned".

We can probably do it, located near Bathurst and St. Clair.
And I'm a rider too!

I ended up finding a locksmith who specializes in motorcycle keys! He had an entire wall of keys ready to go ranging from bikes from the 1930s to any new key. It was a little pricey but I got 2 perfect replica keys for my 30 year old bike. Great service and the guy who helped me is a member here too. Acme lock in Scarborough

Where were you two months ago?
Good to see there's some local guys. I'll come by next time I need a key.
