Sorry Matt, Victoria is as close as I get. I did buy my bike in Vancouver though, in1971. If you can't find what you you need in Van., Action Motorcycles in Victoria is a great shop. Near the end of April is a swap meet and show 'n shine in Tssawwassen - you'll meet other 750 owners there that may be of help. http://www.classicbikeswapmeet.com/home.html  The parking lot becomes an amazing show of all types of motorcycles.
Maybe see you there, look for a candy red 1971 CB750 that looks like new. I'll be near it.

Sorry, there will be other "4" owners there! Didn't look close enough at your posting. It's a great show outside and sometimes treasures inside at the swap meet part.

Will do....but probably won't get a chance to head coastward this year since I'm off up north at the weekend, until the end of the riding season.

Yeah, I know (lived in Powell River for a while)....the challenge is getting to the 'all year round riding' there when it's -10c hereabouts and the roads are covered in snow, ice, slush and salt!
