I used Tommasselli Adjustable Clubmans.  They're $125 a pop, but allow you to adjust the angle to your liking.  I think mine are somewhere between drag bars and clubmans.  The brace I found on ebay.  I have a GL1000 front end on the beast, so there were more options.  I don't remember who made it, and I don't remember any markings on it.  I'll take some pics tonight when I get home as I have to do some stuff in the garage anyway...

As for the GL front end, this thing stops like a mother...The more modern (by, oh, 5 years, :D) rear mounted dual calipers are awesome.  If you are thinking about upgrading and want a good reason to, the brakes could be it.

Whatever....like your house flooding is any excuse for you NOT having your bondo work done...BTW, if I got you an extra CB750 tank, you think you could put some dents in it for me like you did yours?

Looks like I'm going to be following in your footsteps, Mike...the "K" way. I found a K2, minus front fender and rear swingarm/wheel, for $250. As soon as I can get a ride home for it, the first (of 3 on order, now) Hondaman Special will begin!

So....now that I sold the bike, I probably should recap this thread w/ pics....

Steering Damper (not installed, but has fork clamp for installation)
New Chain

Engine, Exhaust, Ignition:
Complete rebuild (cases split), <1000 mi since rebuild!
New rings, cylinders measured and honed
Spin on oil filter adapter
Oil Cooler
1975 CB750F Header
Dunstall slip on silencer (real, not replica)
Carbs cleaned and rebuilt
Dyna 3 ohm coils
Dyna S Ignition

Iridium Plugs
