    Wait before you purchase..... I have an identical wheel also with great tread, and a puncture
    But mine comes with a terminally rusty wheelbarrow AND its cheaper only 99.99 !

    Back to the shocks, it's one way of adding 'patina' to your brand new retro bonneville without getting frowned upon!!!?? Now what length are they? Heh heh heh

    Be careful Tigcraft....rust will creep, you don't want it looking too retro

    My first bike was an early Honda CB 500 four, about 1974 ? I know it was 7 or 8 yes old when I bought it in 81/82 ?
    So those shocks didn't look to dissimilar.

    Hi Thruccy, that looks pretty original ! The ComStar wheels from Honda got onto pretty much everything they made of that era .

    Well, they are not in a lot worse condition than a table full of Brough Superior parts that fetched £150,000 at auction recently.
    You never know, if you're feeling lucky or speculative they may be a bargain at £20
    However I think I will pass on this one!

    Sorry TBL...I won't be buying the antique wheel barrow wheel from you fo £50.:(:(
    I've been P/Messaged by someone on here who says you've been using it to cart your wallet around so I'm kinda thinking it's wheel is buckled beyond economic repair.....Sorry:cool: please don't leave me negative feedback;)
