My Name is AL Beix (Pronounced Bikes) And I have recently come into possession of a $500 1986 Concours 1000. The Bike has solid Bones, good Compression and basically needs a really good cleanup and replacement of all of the missing body parts below the fairing. as well as Both Mufflers (PO Drilled 1/2" Holes on the bottom of the mufflers - Grrrrr!) and a rear brake rotor.

Two days after acquiring this bike I was on a ride with three other senior riding friend friends and as a result of a severe sleep deficit built up over time fell asleep on the road (Never a good thing). I ended up sitting on the side of the road with what turned out to be a broken back and fractured Ankle. At 75 years old after spending many, many hours lying flat on my back in the Hospital I have decided it is time to hang up my gloves, but I shall remain involved in the motorcycle world as I and my partner have developed a fun side hustle finding, and restoring 70's and 80's Japanese motorcycles.

So, if anyone knows a good source for body parts for my concours I would be interested to hear about it - Bonus points if it is in Canada
 
Oh wow, sorry, sorry to hear of your bad luck, spill and injuries, AL.

I have liked riding in your neck of the woods - Nakusp, Revelstoke, Vernon; where are you?

Sorry to hear of your mishap, I've been on the hunt for a C10 for awhile. If you're restoring to sell I might be interested. I'm in Edmonton so the Kootenays are my motorcycling back yard.

Hi Yes the bike will be coming up for sale in the spring. Have to finish with the mechanicals and then address the body panels as it is missing the panels below the fairing. All panels will be repainted as the current drab gray does nothing for the bike and it is unlikely I would even be able to locate matching panels even if I wanted to.

Kaslo, the old hotel makes a pretty mean burger, it's a must stop when I'm in the valley.
