Anyone looking for 750s or a Z1 in the Chicago area?
« on: December 02, 2014, 05:02:08 PM »
Today, I sold my extra set of gauges to a nice gentleman from Bridgeview IL. He's had several gauges rebuilt by Marcel already and jumped on my Craig's List ad as I basically gave them away.  Turns out, he's big on saving classic bikes and has 16 750s from years 70-76, two Z1s and some triumphs. He mentioned he had a 76 750 with 2100 miles all original from the first owner too.

If interested, look up Wayne from R&W cycle services in Bridgeview. I will make some time to go check out his collection soon. He also has a ton of parts.

This is handy to know. Repair guys that are proficient with the older Jap bikes are harder and harder to find. I will have to swing by there one day when I am down south at my sister's and check it out.
