All good, relatively rare, things I will likely never use and ought to be put to a good project. Will likely put them up in the bazaar here, but wanted to kick them here to see if any of the folks in the OSM forum might have a use for them. I'd prefer transactions with people I have a level of confidence in and can be done with less complication and cost that the fee laden options unless that's necessary.

Haven't really figured prices yet; I can't really cut below market prices, but, again, I am more flex with people I know or have a good impression of. If you're interested, shoot me a pm and I'll get back with a day or so if I can, or mug me here if you haven't heard.

First off, Fox Forx clamps for the Honda CR, no stem or bar clamps. This is a really clean set, just a little deflection in the lower clamp steering stops, which tend to get really racked with the Honda version. These are better as is than the ones I had, which TyDog fixed for me. I got them years ago for back up in the event I wanted to do another Honda and had to start with different OEM tailored clamps. Not going to be building another bike with Fox Forx.

Next, NOS 1980 CR250 centercases, fits 78-80, including all bearings and the little white case vent goober. I bought them because . . . what else do you do when you see NOS red rocket cases for sale? Surely one of you sees what I mean . . . Whistling

Next, NOS 78-80 CR250r kicker. Yup. This probably needs to be on someone's max points resto, because it'll turn wobblier than Grandma after a schnapps if it gets used, and that would be a waste. If you have been scrambling for a usable kicker, I might be able to help you out, but this probably shouldn't be on a rider. But, buy it and you can melt it down if you want.

NOS Mugen 360 piston, no rings (which Robert Hawes said was the real trick to get). My Mugen 360 window has closed. Someone must need this.

Some wheels. One is an 83 (might be 82) CR dual actuated brake (including brake panel) with a Gold Sun rim that is in pretty good shape except for one noticeable flat spot. This one needs a little elbow grease.

The other is a hybrid set I picked up from someone matching an 81 dual actuated brake front wheel and a 78-80 red rocket rear hub. The only downside is the crappy painted/powdercoated rims, which I had intended to ditch. The hubs are clean and ready for a clean rider getting a fresh start, and its already got a new set of heavy gauge spokes; looks like something that someone had built and never used, and now the guy who bought them from that guy that didn't use them hopes someone will want them and use them.

That "little white case vent goober" is worth it's weight in Gold.

You wouldn't happen to have a kickstand would you? New or old makes no difference.

Yeah it is Don! I do not have a kickstand, certainly not a new one. It's a little crazy how hard to find they are given how soon I expect most folks ditched them, but I guess they ditched them to garbage cans

Guys I'll try to get back to each of you by tomorrow; expecting a big rain over the next few days and have been tied up doing some prep stuff ton the property to avoid the really bad time we had during the last deluge just before Christmas.

Also have a NOS Head (78-79 with the rear lug),

I suspect you're right about where those kickstands ended up, that's what I did with every bike that had one.
My "Rocket" was the same story when I got it. The kickstand and the"Tiger Claws" are all I need for a 100
pointer, so I'm always on the look out.

We kept our Cali house when we moved to TN, so I split my time between both. The plan is to sell the TN
house, get a place in FL (wife wants to be close to the kids), and split the time between those two. I like
something along the lines of a 99-1 split with the 1% being in FL, but I'm pretty sure I'll get over ruled.

If the person who ended up with the cases, I think it was one of the Florida Red Rocket guys, sees this and still has the cases, I'd be interested in buying them back for a project. Slim to none chance, but taking a shot.

Open to anyone else who might have a 78-80 case sets. I've got used ones to use if needed, but would like to drop into a new set if possible.

No, I am trying to find the guy that I sold them to. No luck.
