That's it. Couldn't think of it.

They sound great by the way.

OK, going to buy this thing and wash it. After that I'll park it for a bit. I'll shop for some parts needed and hang on to the lot.  ;)

Just would hate to see it chopped into a cafe'.

Anxiously awaiting bike pics of after the wash!

Does this friend of yours collect classic stuff?  He had the bike, a classic car in the driveway, what looks like an old Chevy 3100 in the background.  Looks like a good friend to have!

He does have a lot of stuff but I don't think he collects.

We are going to find out!

Where to start? I guess a good wash then a couple of cans of Gunk.  ;)

When you do pick that bike up I would be very interested in what (if any) differences there are between the 350 and 550 MC exhaust systems.

I'll check that out because it has the rubber pieces you mentioned. First thing I noticed.

Just a garage. Would love to have a bigger setup but it is what is is.

Well, it's neglected but aren't they all?

Loaded it up today and swung by the car wash. Cleaned up quite a bit but still some scrubbing to do.

Looks good wet. Not so much when dry.  :P

I'll tell you what! I love it!

Just wish I could put that on the 1977 CB 750. Looks shorter to me.

Nice score there, John!  Send those carbs out to me whenever you're ready.

Thanks Jessie!

Will see. Might have you rebuild the old 350 F carbs. You did a "fine" job on the other set.  8)

Tuff - I have a seat like that for a K5 750 [should fit K1-K6]. Good shape, no rips, will sell cheap if you really want one.
