Here's mine. It looks stock except for the braided brake hose & reproduction seat, but hiding under the tank is a Boyer Bransden ignition and Dyna coils, and hiding behind the side panel is a solid state Rectifier/Regulator.

looks great - love it.

mine is close!

Not a SOHC but a SUPER CLEAN CX. Thanks for posting. Loved my GL650I but love my CX650T more.

Yes. Sorry. I guess it's a SOHV.

Actually QOHV (Quad - 4 valves per cylinder by pushrod)

The only thing I’m sure of is that it has push rods.

. I haven’t spent any time reading the manual yet.

Single pushrod with forked rocker arms actuating two valves...

My '75 550F. Mostly stock, but some upgrades/updates of worn parts. More of a resto-mod than a restoration. My grandparents purchased this bike new and it's been in my family this entire time. It sat for over 2 decades and I took it upon myself to get her back on the road. I love it!

Great job keeping it in the family

My current project. It's a bit of a Frankenbike- the frame is a 76 (I think), the motor is out of a 73, and most of the bits and styling are from a 72, with the paint job of a 73. It's a bit of a mess, but everything is stock. I've had it on the road, and she goes pretty good, but I'm fairly certain the tires are original, so I didn't go far.

And here it is with another one of my babies, and a nice bracket to the "Japanese Standard Motorcycle" era, my 1980 KZ1300.

I finished my winter project the other day and fired it up for the first time. Not entirely stock but a nice bike (only 62XX miles):

kap384@telus.net · « **Reply #992 on:** May 20, 2020, 10:55:25 AM »

Great to see a clean, mostly stock F3! Love it! So other than the pipe, what isn't stock?

Mainly the exhaust but also an oil pressure gauge, steering damper, rear shocks and chrome gauge covers.

Ah. Zooming in closer I see the shocks, steering damper, oil gauge and gauge covers. Still, a super clean looking original!

What a beauty!
How much HP were they making at that point? Very different carbs than my K3
I like the exhaust on it, seems to go well.

I've read 58hp at 8,000 rpm, about 10% higher than the K bikes (weighs 10 lbs more than K bikes too).
