I go it in Oct or Nov of 74 . Rode it in 75.. My first big bike.. It was very nice..
In Aug of 75.. while making a u turn n the dark, my buddy ran into me.. At 95mph.. Put two FEET of cracks in the cases.. Still use them for a display engine..

Cool photo!  Just a memory of yesteryear, funny how the memories get triggered by the photos.

What exhaust is that on the K3 Frank?

Looks like a Vega in the background. Wasn't that the crappiest car Chevy made?!

I ran about 1.5 under on the street. It has K7 trees, allows you to slide them way up.
 The header is a Magnum turbo front section like Cavebear has. Then I got a flange welded on and a back pipe built..used to run down at an angle to the back wheel. Then I cut off about a foot, and got a megaphone rolled and welded that on. It is pretty low, you can push and steer it on level ground with one hand on the center of the handlebars..
