1961 CB72 parts needed

[giuliettashop]

As the title suggests, I'm looking for some of the rare CB72 parts...

Correct levers
Tail light - everything but the lens
rear shocks -the ones with aluminum shrouds
while I'm at it: aluminum front fender!

Finders fee's gladly paid. Help my motorcycle become complete!

I'm in Oakland, Ca.

I just found my aluminum fender this week, and those shock 6 months ago, so don't lose hope! I'll keep watching for you! The other thing I noticed is that the 61 cb72 rear brake and speedo cables are black, not gray. Keep in touch! Paul

Thanks Paul. I keep an eye on eBay. but am not sure where else these parts might get posted other than right here.

While I'm at it -can anyone tell me what the difference between the air intake tubes is between the 61 and later CB's?

Watch craigslist some times you will find a parts bike.

hi all, i could also do with a pr of rear shocks with the alloy covers on..for my 61, has any one had any covers remade.
also has the handlebar grips been remade. alan

The 61 intake tubes have bands and not springs, so the rubbers have the wider indentation where the bands go. Paul

I have in eau claire MI a pr of wheels from a early bike, the speedo and the alloy ring in the pic, has been sent to me in the uk, but the wheels are still there, i know the rims are not great but finding the hubs are hard like all the parts on this bike, what i need is a pr of alloy shocks and the correct seat base, althought i have a couple of prs of seat brackets. only swops on these hubs..alan
