Hey gang.... this cap/lid was included with some parts I recently picked up and I could use your help with identifying it. It's approx. 3 inches in diameter and looks similar to this I found on eBay.
http://www.ebay.com/itm/1969-Bridgestone-Mach-II-RS-SS-200-tool-box-toolbox-lid-cap-cover-/321090507710?pt=Motorcycles_Parts_Accessories&vxp=mtr&hash=item4ac27c53be&nma=true&si=PgVs2RIkf9TlIQO6QsVZYCygf4E%253D&orig_cvip=true&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2557#ht_92wt_1161 (http://www.ebay.com/itm/1969-Bridgestone-Mach-II-RS-SS-200-tool-box-toolbox-lid-cap-cover-/321090507710?pt=Motorcycles_Parts_Accessories&vxp=mtr&hash=item4ac27c53be&nma=true&si=PgVs2RIkf9TlIQO6QsVZYCygf4E%253D&orig_cvip=true&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2557#ht_92wt_1161)
If this is the one, does it fit any other model?
-
If I'm not mistaken, it is the tool box cap for a 175 HS or 200 SS.
-
Thanks, it definetely looked like the one in the eBay link for the 200 RS/SS but the sellers description didn't make note of the diameter so I wasn't sure.
-
3347-8010-XCI Tool box cap after serial 16 K
I think it will fit any 175 DT or HS after 16K and both the 200 SS and RS. Versions before 16K were painted and hinged.

Thanks Kevin, I wasn't expecting this much detail! :o I really appreciate both you guys for taking the time to help me out.

Here's another part I could use some help with. ???
I'm not even sure it's a Bridgestone part. It didn't come in a BS bag/box and there are no identifying marks or numbers on it.
Any ideas? ;D
-
Never mind, I solved this one myself. :o
I remembered there was another part that came with the Bridgestone stuff that had Benelli written on it, so I did a search on eBay for Benelli gas caps and found this.......

I knew I had seen that cap somewhere on one of my bikes.

Haha, that's great Kevin. Say, is there a base to this that clamps or attaches to the tank opening that this piece is missing?

and if you were wondering what was on the rest of the tank...

Ok, here's a new one. Can anybody identify which model this ignition switch is for? It's suppose to be for a 350 but doesn't match the wiring on my bikes. Needless to say, I'm not a happy camper! >:(
-
hey pup, i know we are not to talk bad about anyone here but did this come from that ebay seller in canada Jeff Bar
-
hey pup, i know we are not to talk bad about anyone here but did this come from that ebay seller in canada Jeff Bar
BINGO
-
sorry i can not id the part but i would guess 175. he is poor seller i got screwed, same thing wrong part did not fit a 350
he would not reply to me had tof ile with paypal who did give my money back but to took a long time
i will not buy anything from him. buyer beware Jeff bar
-
Thanks Jeff, I would hope that helping to identifying unscrupulous eBay sellers would not be frowned upon here.
-
i hope you have better luck with him since he learned us bsers will not go away Jeff Bar
-
Here's a little update....
I informed him yesterday that the switch wasn't for a 350 and requested that he immediately refund my paypal acct. To my surprise. I woke up this morning and saw a notice from paypal that he'd done just that. :o
However, now that he's been informed about the switch, what does he do....... he slaps another one up on ebay today, again identifying it as a 350 switch, only this time he doesn't include the part number!
http://www.ebay.com/itm/bridgestone-350-switch-key-/281118753811?pt=Motorcycles_Parts_Accessories&hash=item4173fbc413&vxp=mtr#ht_69wt_1399 (http://www.ebay.com/itm/bridgestone-350-switch-key-/281118753811?pt=Motorcycles_Parts_Accessories&hash=item4173fbc413&vxp=mtr#ht_69wt_1399)
There's a pattern of deceit with this guy and as far as I'm concerned, he's bad news...... BEWARE >:(
-
The guy has 26XX sales and 100% positive feedback, he must be doing something right.
I've seen a lot of guys take pictures of the part out of the bag or box it came in and just a parts tag laying next to it, so you don't really know if that part actually has that part number or not. I wonder if a lot of people get the wrong part but they don't get around to installing it right away and when they figure it out 6 months later they don't
bother to try and return it because it's been so long, and the seller ends up making a sale on some unidentifiable part he has. Seems like EBay has a lot of snakes on it anymore.
-
The guy has 26XX sales and 100% positive feedback, he must be doing something right.
I wondered about that myself. How does a guy get 100% feedback when he knowingly puts up an identical item the day after he's informed it aint what he says it is? Now some other buyer is gonna have to eat the return shipping because of his deceptive ways.
I think part of the reason he has that 100% rating is because of the same dilemma I now face. I could give him some real nasty feedback but guess what he's going to do..... you got it, he's going to return the favor. Doesn't matter if I'm right and he's wrong, do I want that on my score or do I just write it off and never do business with him again?
And BTW, his reply was "OK , I went by information on the bag". Sounds kinda like what you described, but what's his excuse going to be now that he has the correct information?
I know some members here have bought items from him and have been real happy with their purchase based on the feedback they left. That’s great. Just be careful buying those 350 pistons from him.... they might turn out to be really for a 175.
-
I bought an ignition switch pictured on eBay as a 90/100 type. When I received it - turned out to be a 175 switch. May be lost in translation (he is from Quebec). Otherwise OK
Ray
-
let see wrong ignition switchs over and over afterbeing told wrong pistons wrong clutch parts. i had to get paypal involved to get my money back but at least
he is now return money without a fight but making you pay shipping for his lies i think everyone should avoid him but most will not with hopes of getting some
part for cheap just be happy when your money is lost i think he is a #&@^# no matter where he is from. he sure will take you money Jeff Bar
-
Hi Moonpup,
If this 175 switch is the wrong one for you, would you be interested in selling it to me? You could put the money towards the proper one.
Thanks,
Jon
-
I'd love to Jon, however he's already refunded my money & I have to send it back.
Richard has a 175 switch currently on eBay, but you might want to call him first and make sure it's correct for your bike. I'm not familiar with the 175's and don't know if there are differences between the years. Here's the link to his listing....
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Bridgestone-175-and-200cc-IGNITION-SWITCH-with-KEY-NEW-/121125736896?pt=Motorcycles_Parts_Accessories&hash=item1c33a811c0&vxp=mtr#ht_517wt_1399 (http://www.ebay.com/itm/Bridgestone-175-and-200cc-IGNITION-SWITCH-with-KEY-NEW-/121125736896?pt=Motorcycles_Parts_Accessories&hash=item1c33a811c0&vxp=mtr#ht_517wt_1399)
-
No worries,
I am sending a list to Richard this upcoming week with everything I need. I am glad that this situation worked out for you, so many times it doesn't. I have traded on Ebay since 1999, never had any issues until the last year or so. Seems Ebay is getting worse, high prices and high selling fees. Shipping is the real killer though. Good luck with your build and hope to see some pics! As I learn more about these bikes, the more I would love to find a 350 and fix it up....very cool looking bikes!
-
Here are some more parts I need help identifying if y'all would be so kind. Some I know what they are, but haven't a clue as to which model they go to. Others, I know neither.
First, are these rear wheel dampers. 175? 100? Something else?
-
Next is this oil cap......
-
A clamp for something.......
-
And last..... this thingamagiggy. ;D
-
Hi moonpup,
1- The rear cushion rubber looks to be off the 90 / 100 models.
2- The oil cap I think will fit the 90 to 175 oil tanks.
3- The clip with the ears is an exhaust rubber clamp and could be off the smaller cc models, as it looks to small for a 175 / 200.
4- The throttle slide I think is off a Homer.
Hope this helps .. ray
-
Thanks Ray. I would have replied earlier but you had a few "think", "looks" & "could" sprinkled in there, so I was kinda of waiting to see if anyone else would pop in with a thought or two.
I think it looks like you could be right! ;D
-
I'm back... :o
Ok, so I've got 2 different size side cover knobs and what I think are the part numbers, but can't figure out which goes to which. Going thru the various parts manuals, I've eliminated 350's & 175's and got it narrowed down to 2 part numbers for the 50/60 Sports & 90's/100's.
6831-5000 - 50 & 60 Sports and 90's without oil injection.
6831-5010 - 90's & 100 Sport with oil injection
My guess is that the shorter one is for the bikes without oil injection and the longer for ones with it. Would that be correct?
-
hey moonpup. The 3.5" one came from 1966 BS90 sport oil injected. The shorter on was on a 1965 BS90 trail pre-mix. Hope that helps. Steve
-
That nails that down! Thanks Steve ;D

Well here we go, these are the last of the parts I need help identifying. Over the last couple years, I've bought several small parts lots mainly for the 350 items that were included in them. However that left me with a bunch of stuff for the smaller Bridgestones that I don't need. I've figured out which bikes most of them go to, with the exception of these.
I've sold a few items here & there on eBay but now I've decided to get rid of them all by putting together several lots based on model/size. Some of these have part numbers that came with them but I was unable to find them in any of the part catalogs. (maybe the number is incorrect?) Others have no numbers or partial numbers that I was unable to figure out. Some may not even be for Bridgestones.... I don't know!
If you recognize something and know which bike it goes to, that's all I need.... Thanks in advance for any help you can give. ;D
I'll start with the ones that have part numbers. (or at least some of the number)
-
Next up are a set of brake shoes, a small lever (maybe for brakes?), a change arm that's 7" long and the "x" looking tube fitting.
-
And finally, these gaskets.....
-
Shift pawl looks like BS90. If the spring collar come off it's after 66.
-
The way you see it is the way I got it (2 in fact). No collar or springs. The pic in the 90 parts catalog makes it look like it has a raised section near the end of the shaft, while the pic in the 50/60 catalog doesn't. That's why I couldn't nail this one down. :(
Is yours 7" from the inside of the end piece to the end of the shaft?
-
I think the upper most gasket in your gasket post is a 350 crank case cover gasket 2183-9000. Don't recognize the other two.
...bert
-
Without collar after 2-66. Part #2510-5002 I have both styles in my bikes. 65 90 trail & 66 90 sport
-

DOH! A 350 part right under my nose.... didn't think to try and match it to the gaskets I already have. ::) Just did and you are right on the money. ;D
-
The old parts spotter is probably in need of another cup of coffee. ;D

You're dang right there... and no decaf please! :o
I spent the weekend pouring through all the different catalogs trying to make sure I got about 200 parts matched up with the right bikes. I gave up on these last parts due to "Clarence the Cross-Eyed Lion" syndrome. ;D
-
No wonder all the gaskets started looking the same!...lol
...bert
-
The second gasket is a BS175/BS200 crankcase cover gasket, and the third one goes between the crankcase halves on the BS90/BS100. On the earlier parts, I'm sure the two bevelled cotter pins there aren't Bridgestone - probably either for a British bike kickstart or for a pedal cycle crank.
Graham
-
Thanks for your help with the gaskets & cotter pin Graham, that takes 3 more items off the list and out of the way . The bevelled cotter pin was a surprise for me though, as I thought it was some kind of plunger thingy! ??? :o 8)

Here's a little more info and some additional pic's the help get the brake shoes identified.
They are just shy of being 1" wide. With a tape measure hooked on one end and wrapped around the pad to the other end, it's 6 1/2" and again, a little under 4 inches from top to bottom.
The new pic's show it compared to a 350 shoe. There are NO markings of any kind that I can find.
-
Hi, again,
Brake shoes are (relatively) easy to identify. The larger shoe has "TA-1" cast into it, which identifies it as a 175/200 part. Slight complications - the 350 shoes also had the "TA-1" mark, but were a different part number and presumably used a different lining material. Unfortunately, I don't know an easy way to distinguish new 175 and 350 shoes - maybe someone out there does. On the plus side, the shoes will fit all three models.
The smaller shoes should have a similar number cast into them. "EA-1" means it is a BS90/100 shoe, and "GA-3" means it fits teh BS50/60 Sport models. I think the GA3 shoes were also used on the 50 Homer - but you'd need to confirm that with someone who knows the fan-cooled BS models.
For the record, these numbers were the factory model codes for the various bikes, and you will find them stamped into various castings around the bike and also used as the frame number prefix. The 175 was "TA-1, the 200 was "TA2" and the 350 code was "NA1". On the smaller bikes, the standard 90 was "EA1", the 90 Sport was "EA2", the 100 Sport was "EB1" and the pipe-frames 100s were "EC1".
Cheers,
Graham
-
That's great information to know Graham, I wasn't aware that ALL the brake shoes had those markings. Since these don't have any, I'm guessing they're not Bridgestone shoes.
BTW: I got the 350 shoes from Richard, so I'm betting I got the right ones.... 8)
-
Can anybody help identify these 2 carburetor caps? They are obviously not a matching pair and unfortunately the top right one isn't as clear as the other......
-
Mike, please check your personal email. Thanks.
-
Hi,
The bottom carb cap is for the pre-mix BS50 Sport, BS60 Sport BS90 Deluxe, B"90 Trail and BS90 Mountain. (The pre-mix BS90 Sport uses a deeper carb cap). I would guess that the top cap is for the Oil-Injection BS90 and BS100 engines.
Graham

Thank you Graham, that clears that up.... 8)
