CB750 Café RACER Fan-  Can you recommend a Reg/Rec?
Steve-O- What parts are you looking for?  Saw a while back you were looking for a grab bar, still looking cause I have one?  The ears for signals may need straightened though.  I can send pictures if you like?

(Pictures to follow) The MOTHERLOAD of parts!  So I came home with not only One tank (the 550F) but a second one needed of minor repair and JB Weld removal (this one getting bthe Café treatment), low mileage guages 8,XXX miles and other parts too including a bag of bolts and misc fasteners left over.  Lots of shiny mint parts and felt I got a great deal for a few dead Presidents.  ;D

Thanks CB750 I will look at that Rick's unit as it looks to be plug and play.  Stev-O the brass I have has no markings of the OE Keihin brass.
