That $820 rear Lester was for a CB550 which is different than the CB750 and much rarer. It was big news on the forum a couple of weeks ago http://forums.sohc4.net/index.php?topic=68586.0. I got my rear Lester (CB750) for under $150 last year on Ebay. The Kawi Lester is going to be a project. It may take the same amount of time to find a CB750 Lester for the right price, but in the long run you will have a much easier time getting it on your bike.

Yeh that's the guy who bought it, and found out it was for a 750 to begin with. And then sprayed the Lesters with some cheap autostore rattlecan. Jeez what a waste.

Holy $h!+ !! You mean everyone started thinking it was for a 550, went into a bidding rage, only to stick the winner with a rim that was for a 750?
Thanks everyone for their input. Will get the Kaw hardware together, and try to fit it. If the chain/wheel alignment doesn't look right, Will put the wheel & hardware back on ebay and go back to square one. One local shop recommended that I adapt yamaha SR500 wheels & hardware.
What really speeded this "project" up, though...Was out riding the other night, on the way back, got about a block away from the house and the back of the bike starts fishtailing. Got it in the driveway, put some air in tire only to find that air was leaking by one of the spokes.
