    He definitely is our patron saint. Heaps of parts at real prices. I was wanting brake parts for mine and he said not to waste my time with a kit for the front master cylinder, just get a new one. I got it and while bored pulled apart the old one. He was so right. I ring up and try to explain what part I need now, and those guys know better than me what I need. My dodgy old Kat is full of parts from Mick Hone. Brakes, clutch, electrics, chain guard, clutch cover bolts, rocker cover gasket, brake kits. So there's always stuff I can do, and stuff I cannot do. So when I got stuck it went to Glenn Henry motorcycles. They said they were having trouble getting a particular part. I told them to ring Mick Hone.

    That's the trick to restoring these vintage Japanese machines. If you can still find parts, you can build a nice bike. My 1983 GSX750E-II lives because of spares and factory stuff.

    I love my 2020 Katana, the history behind it makes me have so much respect for people like Mike

    Didn't get to hear Mick's answer. How much would it cost to buy it today?

    What the hell ? Has happened to Mr Hone , he used to be such a dude ,
    slim & stylish when there were ‘bogans only’ in the bike trade.
