My selfish plans got messed up and I’m doing damage control?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

I had some shopping to do in Harajuku“I want it today!” “I need it now!”<\/strong>\u2192“Temporarily Closed”<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Ugh! (\uff1b\u2200\uff1b)<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

I stopped by the Honda Aoyama Showroom to recover.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I’m captivated by the Cub out back (parking lot side).

It’s always so simple! It’s the best (*\u00b4\u03c9\uff40*)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Outside the front entrance is a DAX125…<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It’s surprisingly large in size.
There’s also a theory that the old ones were too small.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Ah, I see! 440,000 yen! \u266a<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Rebel 500<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

After going around, there didn’t seem to be any usable parts, so this is all the photos I have.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

CB1300SF 30th Anniversary<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Quite a punch at 2,068,000 yen! \u266a<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Oh! OHLINS upright with radial mount!<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The clamp is plastic, which looks promising!<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

I want to gently secure plastic with plastic… this is very important (*\u00b4\u03c9\uff40*)
It helps prevent cracking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The shape might make for interesting reuse possibilities?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

I suspect it’s similar to the current OHLINS upright…<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

That’s it for the CB1300SF.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Even Honda“niche parts”<\/strong>have decreased…<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

HAWK11<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Saw it in person for the first time. It’s quite stylish and has a nice design.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

I was surprised by the aluminum forged side stand! (probably)<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

I seem to remember it being used on CBR models…
I remember reusing it on a GSF1200 back in the day.

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

How is the back mirror mounted?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

I see… it was surprisingly ordinary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

This upper cowl reuse might be interesting?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Well, the cowl light hole area has a bit of a quirk…
When reusing it, you need to position it carefully
or you might cry during headlight beam adjustment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

It’s quite aggressive and cool!<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

I haven’t checked the price, but I think it’s a pretty good target.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Modern handlebar switches are pretty big, aren’t they?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
