Are we talking about $USD or Canadian?  that does make a difference too

Now a days that doesn't make any difference, we're so close to the $USD it makes no difference.

Have fun on the fresh 400f once it's all back together and the gravel and salt are off the roads out in Montreal. I miss that city...

Yes!

My 1976 400 F is back home after a major overhaul.  1,511.75$ of  OM and many hours of labour to fix it.

It runs great and wow! what a difference in acceleration now that the motor is OK.

Here are a few pictures.

It was worth it, as I see they are really rare here in Canada and the US (check EBay and you rarely see any for sale).   

This bike is a real peace of art!

Yes I will put a video on You Tube as soon as I can.  It's great to hear, no rattling and slapping of the cam chain, no clicking of the valves and great four in one muffler sound.

But it will be real cool to hear it sing at 8000 or 9000 RPM once broken in.

Here is what the 750 K looks like, and it's a 1978 not a 1976 as I tought it was.  It has the wheels and fork of a 1979 750 K.

I picked up my 78 750k, 11,000 miles, original except for luggage rack and handlebars, great daily driver, little pitting on the rims, for $850, so they are out there

I just found your thread and was very worried about the outcome of the next 3 pages... you made the right choice, and it looks like he did a good job on the bike that you SHOULD keep. 
I vowed never to sell my 350f, its just too rare and too special to me.
I'll probably do the same with my 400f once I get it rebuilt, yes, I know, its taking FOREVER!

Bike looks amazing!  Keep it locked up in the garage at all times, unless you're out enjoying it!
