You lucky, lucky dog...
Thanks. It is very original. Stainless front lines but I have the originals. I have wanted one since seeing a silver one out of Canada at Laconia in 1978. Must have been one of the first ones in Canada. I rode next to it for several miles and vowed I'd get one some day. Well...that day took 32 years BUT it did come. ;)

Nice bike you lucky bastard! Do you think there's much to improve on that head?

Now, where's the finger emoticon  ;)

ps how's the 1000 coming along? hoping to get my engine pieces from the coater first of the week so I can FINALLY put your handiwork to good use. Thanks again! Oh yeah, can you pm me with picture(s) of your front junction box/oil cooler radiator setup please? AND, which PJ1 paint for the head? I saw about 4 or 5 different varieties.

Any plans or will this remain a stocker?

....and here I thought I was the only one on here who had any love for the DOHC's.....silly me!

I like the DOHC 4's and 6's....but hell....everyone likes the 6's!!!! ;D

Looks to be a '79......I'm sure Bill will be interested as well!

I've dreamed of dropping a 750sei motor in my 550 frame.....just for the look and sound....pure sex!

Good score!  I hope you keep her original.

The plan is stock Brent. I'll be honest....I'd love to to put 150HP into this thing. God it would suck! ;) ;) ;D Some compression. valves, headwork, pistons and rods...it would scare the sh out of me!

Well Mike, you must have put this in the project section for some reason and I know that you don't own any stock bikes, so what are your plans man?  ;D
