Huge score today!
Saw a FB MP ad yesterday for fairings and a fuel tank for the Honda RC26 Interceptor models ('86-'87).
Finding any of these (not still attached to a bike for sale) is like finding a unicorn!
I noticed the ad was posted 3 days ago (ugh...why THE HECK(!!!) didn't I see it before now, I thought to myself!!!)
I fired off a message telling the seller I would take them and pay full asking price, if they weren't already spoken for and left my cell phone number. A very long 2 hours later I got a call from the seller who told me they were still available and I could have them. We agreed on me coming today at 1pm, so that's what I did,
I had to drive to Ocala for them - about 2 hours each way. But it was so worth it!
Here they are in the back of the Volvo and a photo from the listing.
He also had the 4 brake calipers but they are naked with no pistons or hardware and have been painted this same Yellow so not sure I will be able to use them.
The fuel tank is in perfect condition - and came with it's cap and 2 keys plus the sending unit which looks brand new!!! I've never bought a used fuel tank that still have those two items still on it! It's been coated inside - but looks OK to me. No rust!
The large lower side fairings are aftermarket but everything else is OEM and everything still has it's tabs with no cracks or dings! He did not have any of the fasteners but I have some so it shouldn't be a problem.
Honda didn't offer this model in Yellow so these are re-painted over the original White. Very good paint job though. Tomorrow I will clean up some of the rub marks on them with a detailing product.
I also got an NOS OEM windscreen.....still in it's bag.
All of this for only $500!!!
I'm going to use these for the restoration work of my first Interceptor, which ironically was re-painted this same shade of Yellow by a PO (see last pic).
STOKED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
