Ah, so because *you* dont buy them, that means Honda doesn't make them.

Ri-ight.

Here's a goalpost for you:

Bite me. Find that 83 CB1000 head gasket NOT NOS and still currently in
production at a Honda dealer and I'll kiss your ass in Trafalgar Square and give
you 30 minutes to draw a crowd.

And you ain't gonna produce a current CB1000 head gasket from Honda.

Here, have a free word.

And it was still sound advice as a first port of call. And I
subsequently located source, item and price.

Thank you for playing, all the same. It's been fun.

Honda dealers don't produce things.

I said: some parts aren't in production.

So, a quick review.

Jack says:

"Honda has a policy of not supporting any bike older than 10 years"

TOG says: "Utter and complete nonsense" and others say similar.

Jack says a head gasket for a CB1000 is unavailable from Honda.

TOG says that a CB1000 is a quarter-century old, not 10 years, but
nevertheless points him at a supplier and quotes a price.

Jack says: "That's not a Honda dealer, is it?"

TOG says: "It's a genuine Honda part, and it's available. So a Honda
dealer can obtain it." He acknowledges that some parts for older bikes
are indeed not obtainable and points out why.

Jack starts a frantic back-pedal and claims: "I never said you can't get
the old parts. I said Honda doesn't make them any more."

TOG (and Ken) remind him that this is not at all what he said. TOG says
that parts for older bikes are being made.

Jack demands proof!

TOG points to the exhaust of his 30 year-old Honda 400 Four and says
(correctly) that it's still being made. Also cites parts for his 1974
125.

Jack chooses to ignore the 400 exhaust issue and says of the 125: "We
don't have those pushbikes over here", thus now making the imaginary
supply problem a localised US issue.

TOG reminds Jack that he's ,oving the goalposts with every posting.

Jack asks TOG to prove that a gasket for a CB1000 is still currently in
production.

And TOG, at this stage in a laughable series of nonsense postings by
Jack says:

You lose.

But of course. Well, having made him look a complete fool in front of a
grandstand audience, I've finished playing with him.

Not to weigh in on either side of this specific issue since I don't own
a CB1000.

There are a ton of parts still being made for older bikes because they
were reincarnated on newer bikes. Just go to a web site like Dennis Kirk
and when you get to a specific item like clutch plates or brake shoes
and click the catagory ~See what other bikes this part fits. You may
find clutch plates from a 30 year old bike were used in a 5 year old
bike and are still available.

Some things like cam chains may not be the right lenght, but you can
shorten them.

Something like pistons, SL125 for example since it was brought up, you
can substitute. An example would be a Honda 4 cylinder like CB750 since
they use the same wrist pin.

While it doesn't qualify as Honda OEM, seems like Honda cotracted many
parts out to other manufacturers. You may not be able to buy a new set
of Honda rings for an older bike but you can sometimes still buy the
rings from the contractor that was making them for Honda in the first place.

They do? Where do you learn that little nugget of info?

Not that I disbelieve you: I'm just impressed.

No, it was just you masturbating your ego. Again. Just like you've been doing
for years. Hoping against hope that nobody will find out about your little

Oops.

But not at a Honda dealer, which you snottily suggested in the first place and
insinuated that the OP was stupid.

You should start calling yourself something else. You're not older and you're
certainly not a gentleman.

But on the other hand, you seem to have picked up a groupy. Congratulations.

You do have a way with words. When asked for a source you can give none.
And now you make remarks about body parts. Too bad. I could have
probably been of some help to you but you now go in the kill file.

He's just behaving like a little kid.

I can't actually figure out why he lied in this thread. I mean, anyone
who says: "I said (this)...." when that patently isn't true must (a)
have a deep-seated desire to tell lies and sod the consequences and
(b) believe that his previous postings sort of disappear after people
read them, so that the obvious contradiction can't be pointed out.

Very strange. He's not alone in that, of course.
