Right on Rod! Patience is definitely required, but grinding it out, in my experience, is always worth it. Football, school, motorcycles same story.

Tried to get the sign but couldn't come up with a reasonable shipping option by the time auction ended. I had contacted the shipper he suggested but took them a week to get back with a quote, which was crazy high anyway. Still looking for that sign.....

Hey grundlegrabber..... here's another sign that was put up on eBay yesterday. I spoke with the seller just now and he informed me that he & his son would like to get $1000 for it.

And to think we thought the other one was high..... yikes!

Thanks for the heads up. I noticed it yesterday and will be bidding on it. $1000 seems very high but then again I haven't seen another one since that last one came up. I've been wishing for one of these for a long time. Only reason I didn't buy the last one is the seller didn't want to have anything to do with shipping it.

Hey Grunt101,
Are you looking for both the right side engine(transmission/clutch) cover and carb cover?  There are some listed on eBay.  Here's a link:
http://m.ebay.com/itm/BRIDGESTONE-100-OEM-RIGHT-ENGINE-SIDE-CLUTCH-COVER-CASE-HOUSING-GUARD-PROTECTOR-/381652478628?hash=item58dc42aaa4%3Ag%3A08kAAOSw9k5XPiw5&_trkparms=pageci%253Af4005f84-5828-11e6-979b-005056b25309%257Cparentrq%253A47db26081560a785742a90e6fff9d227%257Ciid%253A12
There are usually some carb covers listed too but I didn't see any.  Good luck, Steve

This e-mail is to let any owners of  50cc Step- Thru Homer model with plastic leg shields, to say that last year I sent an original Homer seat cover to an eBay seller so he could have his Asian ( Thailand, I think) business associate make a reasonable-quality, accurate copy. It took several months, but he sent me 2 of the new seat cover copies, which even have accurate-looking white "BRIDGESTONE" stenciled lettering on rear panel, like the original. The quality seems to be as good as the original Japanese cover was. Later when I was finally to find an original 50cc Surfrider seat cover in fair condition ( this is the 50cc -forced-air cooling shrouded head model cycle that has the gas tank located in front of the rider), I sent this original cover to the same ebay seller who is having copies made that will be sold in his eBay store before long.   I will use one of these on my 1964 Surfrider Resto project bike.
The seller's name is Andy Ng and his eBay store is vintagehondamotorcyclepart. 
As far as I know, no one else makes/sell any decent BS cycle seat covers for these 2 models of Bridgestones. My new seat covers  were provided for free since I provided the originals for a pattern, but I think Andy's price will be reasonable.

While checking out a recent eBay listing on a nice 350 GTR in the UK, my eyes were drawn to the owners manual that the seller was including in the sale.

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Suzuki-Honda-no-a-1970-Bridgestone-350GTR-Motorbike-/332175521626?_trksid=p2141725.m3641.l6368

Turns out, it happens to be one of the GTR/GTO manuals printed in July 1970 that I've been searching for with no luck and it reinvigorated my desire to find one.

I contacted the seller and found out this one was missing the front cover, so my search continues. In anyone has one in good condition I would certainly be interested and great wealth would come your way!  ;D

It has a loop design on the front cover like the one pictured below of a MII 200 manual. Also pictured is the back cover from the eBay listing.
