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?"

Looks like Jardines and aftermarket shocks on the orange one, and a lowering kit on the other....

  Yes, it has a lowering kit (and the sissybar), which are the only things I'm fixing on that totally turn-key blue K5 because its the cleanest, unrestored, untouched original CB750 of ANY year imaginable. Only 18,000 miles in showroom MINT condition. That orange K3 boat-anchor will be used as the prop-buck to fabricate the Yosh race pipes.
  Good times in New Hampshire.

I think I'd want to use something other than ratchet straps for a feat like that...

... it worked, though, I guess. Where abouts in NH?

 Don't know, my ratchet straps are rated 1500lbs,  x4 gives plenty of margin.

 I've done similar in the garage. Hook come-alongs to the rafters, pick up the bike then drive the truck under it and set it down. Works great if you have the overhead clearance

736,  If you're gonna part the orange thing, I realy need some side covers......
