Thanks Flatlander, I was very lucky and had the exhaust hand made for me by a friend, it is an exact copy of the original as he used the system that came on the bike as a template. I couldn't believe it when we tried to fit the downpipes for the first time and they all slotted in to the engine easily! :o The guy who did the pipe bending is fantastic.

truely fantastic. he did a great job there! and stainless actually sounds like a real improvement over the old chrome one.

I love the stock look.   I was at the post office and a guy circled the parking lot twice.  At first I thought he just wanted my parking spot.  He stopped on his second lap and just wanted to talk about how great the bike looked and that he hasn't seen one in a long time.  I've met several total strangers who just wanted to look at my bike.

I first was introduced to the CB750A at a post office a couple of years ago.  An older gentleman parked his candy blue hondamatic and I walked over to ask him about his well-preserved ride.  The guy immediately lifted is withered, deformed left hand and said "It's an automatic!"

Thanks. Bike is 100% original. Some lovely roads for scratching over there. Thought about going to Assen for the Moto GP this year. Have heard the Police are very strict there. Is that true?

i don't think there are many traffic cops or speedcams on the track in assen  ;)
well generally, traffic rules (especially speeding) are enforced pretty strictly but on the bike i seem to get away with quite a bit. haven't received a ticket yet although often going way over speed limit.
of course now that i said it it's going to happen  ::)

74ish 750. Mainly  been focusing on just getting it running. Took it for its first bout on the road today. Much more power than i was expecting. Its a night and day difference over my 500. Wont look this way for long! Ive got a new cycleX seat in the mail and now it's cosmetic time.

That is a great looking 350f  2stroke, I have never seen one on the street around here in SW Ohio.  I can't wait to get mine finished.

Finally got some decent pics, though not as good as I would like. How about "better than stock;" at least I've been told more than once.

 Here's my Pandora with her newly acquired stock 341's and her new paint and stripe. Yeah she's a 73 but i hate that fat stripe! I'm running points, that Dyna was a piece of crap! She has a solid state regular and recitfier, separate units.
