Bill, I think I found your old bike. :o :o :o

It's located in the attic of a vintage motorcycle shop in Osaka, Japan.  Here's a recent picture of it.  This is the one...right?

  Well, that COULD have been it, before I got hold of it. You see, I had gas tank and fenders painted a pretty metallic Blue, had the side cover chromed, replaced the headlight and gauges with new parts that were fore the CB350 that had just come out, when I bought the CB72 AND had put on a set of megaphones, along with one of those race seats that you see on ebay for around $1600 (mine didn't cost near THAT much). I wish I could find a picture of it AFTER the mods (slightly warmed the engine up too and could take on the Super Hawks, but not the 450s). 8) ;)

           Thank you, it's been pretty good. It IS good to know that You ALL are doing better and James' problems are being found out and going to be taken care of. Now, THAT makes ME feel better. ;)
