Can anyone identify those front rotors? I have had a set of those sitting around for years and I never knew who made them. They came on a Lester mag that was in a parts lot I purchased.

Well there you go, you can turn shiit into strawberry jam after all, just add a turbo and some nice wheels! ;D

The rotors are made by a company called Mark-O
I have the same ones (or use to) on my GS

Ha ha, and of course the CB750A was a truly wonderful bike, which paved the way for all the automatic bikes that we have all come to enjoy, eh?  ;)

If course I agree about the relative value of a DOHC bike, I've already said how fragile they were, but I was hoping that the PO had sorted this with the Yoshimura engine internals he mentioned? I think that for the money, it is excellent value! Cheers, Terry. ;D

Hi Ben, not sure what happened to that bike, I wasn't there :D :D :D

Check out the race between Chad and the Hillbilly Hustler at 4 minutes into the vid.
Chad wins a lot of races because the much faster bikes red light quite often.
With the auto being a much slower bike but deadly consistent, Chad puts his dial in on the dot and can run to it time and again.
When they are on a much faster bike and have to give him such a big start, in their haste to get going they go too soon.
