$300? are they really worth that much less then the other models? I just watched a earlier one sell for $700.

Yeah mate, sadly they don't got for anywhere near the Mk1, even though they're lighter and arguably, more reliable than them. They just don't look as cool, and considering that any modern electronic ignition is way better, nowadays it's all about the look..........

Kinda lame....lol
well the guy found some lower gear thing but not the whole unit.
either way its on its way to me. ill clean it up and see whats what before figuring out if it can be used or just passed on

No worries mate, I just realised that the whole guts of your ARD is missing, that's a stock CB750 points plate in there, not the correct ARD magneto, so all you've got there is the aluminum case and part of the distributor.

I've realised also that it's not a MK3 but a MK2 electronic ignition, as the MK3 has a removable circular points cover set in the outer cover that yours doesn't. Also, the special ARD "black box" is missing, and not really wanting to rain on your parade further, the special ARD coil is missing also.

Not a real biggie, as the EI ARD's weren't real reliable, and that's why the MK3's went back to points. I can send you some pics of mine if you'd like? Cheers, Terry.

yeah its mostly just a case.
maybe something fun can be fabbed up and put in it, or maybe someone needs a case for a crashed one? or someone has the guts from a crashed one?

Well I want it of course, as all the guts from my Kawasaki ARD will go straight in. How about 100 bucks plus shipping? Cheers, Terry.

ill get some better pics, i think the internal mounts are gone.....
got a good one to part trade?

Terry in Australia · « **Reply #204 on:** October 15, 2011, 05:50:29 AM »

No worries mate, some more pics would be good. What do you want for a part trade? Cheers, Terry. D;

jaguar · « **Reply #205 on:** October 15, 2011, 12:38:44 PM »

I'll get the pics up tonight.
I really do want to run a mag on this bike...but I have a hard time spending almost twice what a dyna 2000 would be...if you get what I mean.
I dont mean to be cheap as I know that cool parts cost money and if you wanta play you have to pay...but sometimes I really wonder who is out there spending that money...
Hell everyone here #$%*es when they see a 750 on CL with a $3000+ price tag...so I figure it's not guys here...
People own these bikes but aren't members here??...lol

jaguar · « **Reply #206 on:** October 15, 2011, 07:54:02 PM »

Fair bit longer.
I might just run it in the "stock" position and keep a spare chain, sprocket for the full drag lenght.

So the "mag" came in.
not really sure what to do know.....

jaguar · « **Reply #207 on:** October 20, 2011, 11:41:21 AM »

still more in the mail

jaguar · « **Reply #211 on:** January 26, 2012, 08:02:00 PM »

Well life has been getting in the way and not much has been done with this bike.
Still waiting on some parts..
the motor pipe and some other bits are going to be used on a different bike and a mild motor will go in this bike first.
kinda thinking street/strip

new goal is rolling in the next two weeks with a GL front end
need to get the frame re braced as im not all that happy with how it came out

Keep going with that project mate, and don't forget, post pics or it didn't happen! Cheers, Terry.

Yeah not much has happened...

Terry got a source for some manifolds?

Lets try this cheap ARD idea again...

robdrobd · « **Reply #214 on:** February 17, 2012, 10:06:17 AM »

Jag,

I have used Carpenter Industries in East Syracuse for tons of blasting and coating projects. Great prices and great work. The contact there is named Brud. He's pretty quirky, but a good dude. Just in case you wanted to take a little detour between the island and Potsdam.

Terry in Australia · « **Reply #215 on:** February 17, 2012, 06:06:55 PM »

Those bits look interesting William, pity that ARD's not complete, if it was it's be worth $600.00 plus. What carbs are those? Cheers, Terry.

jaguar · « **Reply #216 on:** February 17, 2012, 08:24:49 PM »

Guess I should have put some more details.
Well this bike is getting put in line behind my CR so some parts are being used on that bike instead of this one...well for now....its a long tangled web of cb750 parts in my garage.

But I bought some solex mikunis

They are waiting on gaskets right now. finished cleaned and soda blasting them

Me being me and not being able to leave well enough alone found a pair of dellorto 40s....and started thinking.
Wouldnt it be fun to be able to run different side drafts? well i thought that the dellorots, webers and mikunis all used the same mounts...but i was wrong. From what i now understand the dellortos and the webers are the same. but as you can see in the pictures the mikunis are much smaller....and lighter.

I REALLY want to make some manifolds to run the dellortos or webers on one of my bikes....It would be fun to have lesters and side drafts on both my 750s.

The ARD seems to have the important bits so i figure its a good start. I have a pair of good FM mags on the way and I hope that i can used those parts to make the ARD work. I need to dig up the thread with the pulley, belt and mag part numbers.
Either way it was cheap.

Terry in Australia · « **Reply #217 on:** February 17, 2012, 09:57:58 PM »

No worries mate, Get onto Jon, (BlueTurbo) he can send you a link to a supplier for the pulleys and belt. Those carbs are interesting, and I know what you mean about the weight, I had a set of Dellorto's with a NOS manifold, they looked great, but they weighed a lot compared to the CR's. Cheers, Terry.

jaguar · « **Reply #218 on:** March 08, 2012, 12:48:15 PM »

Well it kinda rolls!

Not 100% sure what it is but it fits perfect, its light and really cool.
I think it works well with the drag swing arm.

Terry in Australia · « **Reply #219 on:** March 08, 2012, 11:27:12 PM »

Nice tank William, is it steel or fibreglass? Cheers, Terry.

Retro Rocket · « **Reply #220 on:** March 08, 2012, 11:44:41 PM »

I think thats a glass Tracy tank Terry..?

Terry in Australia · « **Reply #221 on:** March 09, 2012, 12:24:54 AM »

Is that right Mick? Most of those horrible Tracey tanks I've seen are smaller and have the integrated seat? Anyway, that one looks nice. Cheers, Terry.

I'm not too sure but i have seen one of those tanks before....

Jags, your gauges look to be in very good shape. is that the case?

jaguar · « **Reply #224 on:** March 09, 2012, 08:48:50 AM »

A buddy just found one then i saw this one listed so i scooped it up.
Its glass. has a tag but its hard to read.

The gauges were rebuilt
