I have their CB750 engine kit and universal carb kit....look to be good quality but I have yet to install them. Just one of the many parts i've been collecting for my project lol. I know they ship quick. Got everything in a couple days. I got the polished ones and they are a nice luster, not mirror finish but nicely done.

Is this vendor the forum member that sells allen sets?  Just wondering 'cuz I'm going to need a set this winter when I rebuild the top of my '77 550K.  I'd like to "keep it local" if I can.

If you take care of it.
What do you have to do?
Lot’s of things. You’ve been watching me.
Will you show me all of them?
Sure.
Is it hard?
Not if you have the right attitudes. It’s having the right attitudes that’s hard.

I thought so and that's why I ordered them, but I also recieved a message about the bolt kits from someone on this forum...don't think it was the same person. I was confused and just at the beginning of amassing the parts for my project  :P I forget who it was on this forum that carries them.

Not that specific set. I got one from them for a 750K, every bolt that's needed is there, right length, perfect fit, bagged separately for each cover, numbered and with a list describing which bolts go where.

Nothing but praise for their bolt sets. Mine wasn't polished so I can't comment on that but based on the other facts I can safely assume they would be great too.

I got the non-polished set for my 76 CB550F. Great quality, and complete. Even has the pinch bolts for the kicker and shifter. Like already mentioned, separate labeled bags for each part of the engine. For $20 (unpolished) and $25 (polished) I think they're a great deal too.

I got mine off ebay from thunderbolts out of Canada. I thought it was a quality set for a good price.

I just bought a stainless steel set from Jeff (our own SOHC4 member) from Z1 Enterprises for my K6 engine I'm in the process of screwing together, excellent quality and price, and super-fast shipping to Oz! Cheers, Terry. ;D
I was feeling sorry for myself because I couldn't afford new bike boots, until I met a man with no legs.

So I said, "Hey mate, you haven't got any bike boots you don't need, do you?"

I got my bolt set from Steve at Z1 Ent.  Mike milled the ends of the bolts and polished them.  They are dead sexy on my new engine.
