Thanks ekpent. The SS will be the first one that begins to get the "Love". As i am a little more familiar with the SS model. I just hope the "carbs" are not to bad.

What is the opinion on these "kooks" exhaust pipes on the 73' 750K3. Any body ever use them?

 I have a set on a bike. They were quieter than I thought they would be which was a good thing and they look kind of cool. Also pretty lightweight as their small overall.

Well I have got both bikes "home". This is the 73 it will need some love but I really like the look of it. Not to hip on the bars though. Any thoughts on a nice bar shape for this lower set seat?

Drag pipes? I have those exact same ones and mine sound less than great. 2&4 into 1 + 1&3 into 1?

Mwiese105 Those pipes are "Kooks". They look good imo. But I am a long way from hearing what they sound like lol. I am just getting started on it so time will tell. I did put a fresh battery in it and every thing lit up but starter would not engage. Glad to here that parts are readily available.

They both look pretty good. Have fun restoring them.
