Japanese Bikes / 1972 Honda CB250?
« on: July 10, 2010, 08:45:22 PM »
A co-worker is giving me a 1972 CB250 which has been sitting in his basement for some-odd years. So I started looking around for parts/etc and it seems there were many CB250's? K's, F's, etc.... So I got the VIN off the neck and it didn't make things any clearer..."352-104544" no letters and short some numbers compared to most, but this number is also on the motor. The decal on the sticker says 10/72 so I am assuming its a '72. When i search for the bike i find some pictures but none seem quite right looking at what i'm getting. So my questions are:
1. Anyone make heads or tails on the VIN?
2. Good place to find parts for a rebuild? (gaskets, carb rebuild kits, switchs, etc)
Thanks in advance from a noob shadetree mechanic looking to rebuild a bike 3 years older than himself!
