ok so i found a gyro on craigslist yesterday. i called my buddy dan up and told him about it. well, for the price i think he made out ok. its got potential. mine looked worse than this one. he was asking $300 for it. forgot exactly what dan ended up paying for it. he dropped it off about an hour ago and took a couple pix. notice the 84 muffler?! waiting on dan to come back by so we can give this one a name. not sure what his plans are for it just yet. possibly a different color. lol i noticed the rear Goodyear tires. were going to need parts, so i will post what we need once we start digging in to it we will post what we need. enjoy.

sweet score. here that would have been an easy $800+ dollar gyro.

Nice project. For a minute there I thought it had been ridden through wet concrete, then I realized that's snow..

well,worked on the bike for a little today. removed the carb cause it was pretty bad. still got a itch to start this thing. did a compression test. 125psi. sprayed some oil in the intake and hit the button. fired right up. just got some real good connections on parts for this bike and my bike. pix coming soon.

Forget Ebay ...
I called cheap cycle parts . It was $4.00 something & change ... But $10.00 bucks shipping .
Call your local HONDA dealer if they dont have it they can still get it ...w/ shipping it should cost around $5 or 6 bucks .
It was a common Air filter ....
