Hello from Seattle, Wa. After 15 years of not riding, I figured it was time to get back in the saddle. I purchased an 84' Honda Ascot here (actually is still on your classified section.) It's a sweet bike, i'd say 90%. She's a runner and solid all around. As with anyone who like old cars and motorcycles, you got be a tinkerer....so I have a few questions for the pro's here on the board. I have spent the better part of the last two days searching for specifics on my questions, so please forgive me if I did not find it before.... Being as I want to keep the Ascot as close to "stock" as possible..or "Honda Stock" if you will, so here is my main question (for now):
Not a big fan of the gauge cluster..and it buzzes like crazy and the tach needle is gone, are there any stock Honda clusters that are an easy swap? I know the Vt500 Shadow is the sister bike, and I would not be above putting the shadow gauges and headlight on the Ascot...does anyone know if this is possible?
my other thought would be a 1984 700SC gauge cluster and bikini fairing on it...they are very similar in style...thought that might look cool.
If there are any other Honda's that have parts interchange with the Ascot I would be interested also.
Thank you in advance for any input. Looking forward to hearing from you.
Regards,
Ben
