One should never add up such costs. It can lead to heavy drinking or logic, both of which are bad when dealing with older bikes.

I'm almost embarrassed to say that I paid $2000cdn for Sophie last year. She is (or was) complete, with everything original, but a little rough around the edges. I considered that a reasonable price to pay for a great bike which carried me 9,000+ long distance kms last summer. After the faffing arou...

Go to eBay and set a 'favourite search' for CB650 stuff. Then you'll get all new auction listings emailed to you every day. These side panels do show up periodically.
