Traded a titled 360 frame and $200 for this baby. Not one spot of rust. Crumby rattle can paint job, but that's all. Guy wanted it gone because gas kept coming from overflow tubes onto his garage floor. Here's some pics.

I dig the saddle bags let me know if you ever sell them.

robdrobd · « **Reply #4 on:** October 25, 2012, 04:51:29 PM »

I dig the bags. I think I might just add a paint job to the tank, bags, and side covers, and call it a day!! No cafe for this one, its way too nice. Did the 76 550k only come in Garnet Brown?

Nice trade Rob! You are so the wheeler dealer.

Yes, brown was the only color that year for the K.

Yeah, I've been getting lucky lately. Bikes start going really cheap up here in fall and winter. Maybe I can do all the buying and ship them south

sweet!! I wish there were more stupid people in arizona that wanted to get rid of bikes like that

Lostboy Steve · « **Reply #10 on:** October 25, 2012, 06:23:03 PM »

Please tell me you're keeping the bags!

Good deal and nice looking bike.
Better get those needle jets replaced or you could have a fire in your garage.

robdrobd · « **Reply #12 on:** October 25, 2012, 06:30:44 PM »

I'm keeping those bags!! They are cool as hell.

Stev-o · « **Reply #13 on:** October 25, 2012, 06:38:44 PM »

What paint colors are you thinking? Not a fan of the brown. The bags would look great gloss black with contrast color on tank and side covers. Red or silver?

robdrobd · « **Reply #14 on:** October 25, 2012, 06:56:41 PM »

I might go brown with cream stripes.

Please dont put a mural on this bike... please. I like the cream and brown idea alot however.

Stev-o · « **Reply #19 on:** October 26, 2012, 07:53:26 AM »

+1....no mural. Would hurt you when time to sell.

Schnell · « **Reply #20 on:** October 26, 2012, 09:14:56 AM »

Brown with gold striping looks good. I've got a BMW like that.

robdrobd · « **Reply #21 on:** October 26, 2012, 10:53:47 AM »

Alright, no mural. Anybody no where I can get the color code to this? Its Dark Brown on Steve McQUEENS Ferrari.

robdrobd · « **Reply #22 on:** October 26, 2012, 06:16:49 PM »

Local paint guy will do tank, covers, and bags for $500 in the style below. Is that a good deal?
