I need help, CB750E Engine needed.
« on: August 27, 2006, 02:25:38 AM »
I am gonna post this same ad in parts wanted but this has more coverage and traffic. If it gets bumped, then so be it.


Jeff the Gimp, thats me, needs a decently running CB750E K1(preferably) engine, without sidecovers, sprocket cover, carbs, points, condensers, kicker, and shifter lever. Just the base engine(with tranny of course) and cam/valve cover.

Since I am on Workmans comp right now I have a limited monthly budget but if you'll yake payments I will pay a reasonable sum, plus shipping to 94947.

Give me a price and an address Via PM and lets get Rita(that wicked sweet chopper in the avatar), back on the road! She's beggin me to roll again!!

Peace and Long Rides,

Jeff the Gimp

Bryan,

Sorry about the long delay in getting back to you. I've been a little busy with coast guard stuff and getting ready for the surgery. Basically, I need a complete top end, from the pistons and jugs on up. A new cam chain might be a good idea too, while I'm thinking about it.

What do you think?
