Personally, I would offer something less, only because the oil vapor tank is missing. MikeV

I was being a wise-ass anyway Cal. But I cannot find a single photo of one with a tank, even though the brackets are there. MikeV

Hi,
So a question......did the A's not have the black box like a "B"

Clay

No the early A model didn't have the black oil catch. It had a hose going to a 'flap valve' screwed down under the seat. Lou

Thanx Guyz......I was wondering about that one. It is kind a funny that the brackets are there.

The plastic supplier must have been behind schedule due to a large order of Fiat windshield washer reservoirs being placed in front of it.

Must have been in Japan, has the Murayama logos

Took a screenshot of that, with the requested price... nice to have asa reference for my insurance company in case soemthing happens! )

The first batch of F1:s from -85 (the 300 with fixed rotors) did not have the brackets for the breather tank at all. And the bracket for the fairing mounts where not ”u-shaped” but double thin sheets, as on the racing frames.

The turn indicators are missing! Are they even possible to find now?

You still see original directionals pop up on eBay from time to time. I think a company is making replica turn signals now. Lou

They do appear now and then; $80US seems to be the going price. A few months ago (last year?) I bought two NEW ones from Steve Allen at Bevel Heaven for a fair price; he can probably get more if there is demand.

Thanks for the explanation of the oil vapor tank Lou.

No comments about the asking price on this bike?

Okay, I'd rather have this F1A that just appeared on eBay. No connection other than I built it in the early 90's. As far as the price on both, good luck! Lou eBay #264379928841
