the restoring of the version Z is going slowly but surely
I am looking for the factory alloys
the one that look like the old style telephone dials with the Honda emblem in the middle....does anyone have them and is willing to sell them ?
or knows were I can get my hands on them...

There are always sets available on Yahoo Japan auctions, but you probably wouldn't like to pay shipping costs from Japan.
Past Hondas:
1960 125cc Honda Benly CB92R
1964 305cc Super Hawk CB77, the only vehicle I have ever bought new in my life!
Honda CB160, roadraced as 175cc 1967-1970.
Honda Lawnmower, bought used in 2003, caught fire and melted in 2005.
I already had a look and the little devil inside pushed me... I got a set in almost mint condition. I promised myself that I will bring it back to as close to an OEM as possible so no expenses spared.

Great! I like those wheels and did a "halfway" restoration on mine. So you bought it from Japan? How much did the shipping cost, just out of curiousity...

Before anyone says I am nuts ( which probably I am ) ...let me tell you the whole deal maybe that will ease my position.
I got the 4 alloys as I said in mint condition plus 4 new tires total including the shipping was 730 euros, but take into account the exchange rate and also that is secured shipping the actual cost of the alloys was 350 euros with new tires.
As a rule of thumb what ever the cost of the item is...expect the same price for secure shipping.
Ok now for my next crazy purchase...looking for the rubber that goes around the roof and seals were the windows are closing.... rain is coming and I have to be water tight any ideas anyone ?

All 6 rubbers are still available to order. Total cost in the UK would be £432.96.
Otherwise a couple of tricks by applying silicon to them to make more flexible and adding foam insulation inside the void to plump them up, so the fit to the glass is tighter.
Also the door glass doe have quite a bit of adjustment to make a better fit.
