 The Aluminum rims are cb750A, the M&H has a 16" hog rim, re-laced with SS spokes, it was on a two hole hub. The clubfoot swingarm is 22-24" Oddly the bike has a stock swingarm on struts. The rider off lanyard switch is a set of ignition points with a leather pad between them.  Header is a nearly new V&H but a guy gave me the original 4-1 black pipe off the bike.  Drag specialties mini tach, also in the pic are Koni's, Webers, early ARD.  That tank should be black but was striped by the Englishman at Laconia. He was the east coast version of Von Dutch.
 The bike had been stripped for parts sitting in a shop, I've tried to restore it with no photo's, There is a guy that might have one, I'm tracking him.

 Well, I qualify for the new brain wanted club. My assumptions and conclusions about this 1124 motor are hopefully incorrect.
  I put a stock starter on it and it spins nicely with the plugs out. The busa starter I got off ebay is a turd. This must have some crazy compression. The kick start may work if I can get the engine in a frame and stand on it.
 My plan is to re-connect the oil tank, carbs and both of my Oddysey 12v batteries from the racecar cranking and put a stock ignition on it with 12V to eliminate the ARD from the equasion or however that word is spelled.
