My grandmother's tenant passed away and his family did not want any of his things. He was hard core into cb750s, he had built easy 20 of them, I ended up with what ever parts were in his apartment when I cleaned it out.

Well, you are a very lucky fellow indeed.  Sandcasts are very rare and equally expensive to restore to a condition that they deserve if you were so inclined. I am into diecast K0s myself, that's as rare as I can justify playing with.

I wish you the best of luck with it.
