Old honda bikes?

Question

Buddy of mine still has his dads. I dont knowif hes tried to find any parts for it but there are alot of cycle salvage guys selling on ebay. Have you looked there? Im finding parts for my 84 magna on there.

Answer 4

79 is not that old. I would think a Honda shop that has been around a long time can tell you. Also, a throttle is not that exotic. A custom bike shop can probably help you out, if nothing else but just for the fun of it.
