Thanks goes out to Larry for sending me his spare 1100f head downunder to help me out .
Without this forum and it's members my restoration would not have been possible.
Cheers Larry

Yep, big thumbs up to Larry, he's sending me a couple of pulse generators for my 750's, at a price that makes me feel like I stole them.
This a great community with lots of people who I have never met, who are only too willing to help out.

Thanks to Larry I have nice rust-free fork tubes on my 1100F. Any time I'm in need of a hard-to-find part, he's the first one I contact.

Helped me out in the past with parts needed for my 900 and 1100 restoration and presently ordering some parts that he does not have to send to me in Jamaica. I really appreciate his help along with other members of this forum. |

I will be buying some rear sets from Larry soon. We need guys like him to keep these bikes on the road. |

Many of you know that I wouldn't have the 985 without him, he "saved the day" on the 1100 rebuild (by sending me a crank and a full set of bearings that measured out "as new"), and he just sent me a complete 900 oiling system for the 750, so I can put a cooler on it. Those are just the "big ones": There are too many small parts I've gotten from him to remember.
He should be a "Friend of the Board" for his generosity |

CBXdog helped me out with a head and other parts for my 985 too. Bike life-saver that guy is. Top notch. |

Cheers to cbxdog from up here as well!! Been meaning to publicly thank him for the jugs he sent my way a couple weeks ago. Since shipping to Canada sucks he no doubt took a hit in order to help a fellow F'er out so good on ya!

I've even been helped way down here in NZ so his reach is far and wide.
It appears that this has been repeated many times and many places and I had no idea............And so this thread is overdue.
I will now add to the chorus and thank you.

Brent...the site is not the same as it was when I joined.....your R&D and parts have been a breathe of fresh air for many.
So many new ideas and build threads....F2...Oil Pickups....Clutch/Trans mods...the Pod debate.....great info...some much contribution from members
For this...I think we all pull high regard...it is tough dealing with people all around the world....even with the net....and I feel there is pretty
good harmony here....
If you own one of these..this is the only place to be.
Hell...I would have never finished the CBX if not for this place...
Rock on....rock true...

P.S. Larry...you look like Sammy Hagar...  |

Thanks for the 15 valve shims Larry! And the bit of advice in the private email.
Very generous, very helpful. Great forum. |
