 I found a #4 on Ebay but missed the #2. I had checked just hours before. My question now is should I put  341's on the 71 or wait and use them on the 75 that's next? I have to sell something soon, the project account is going to be depleted soon. Old Dad's wallet's gotta come out.

I know your pain Don, an old mate contacted me yesterday looking for a CB750 project for one of his mates. I gave him a price for the K1 or K2 (I'm not going to sell my 69 K0) and his mate rang and left a message, but I haven't called him back yet. I saw a cheap Buell XB9S I wouldn't mind on ebay today though, so I might have to call him back...........

  I hear that, I've got choices to make, I was going to keep my brothers one owner K4, but I have my sandcast, a totally gone through diecast and recently was practically given a really nice 78 gl1000. Those are my 3 licensed / insured  bikes. The grandson of the original sandcast's owner wants to buy it but I'm not sure he understands what that would take. I bought 2 then 6 then 1 then 1 more 750's because they were priced right and it seemed like a good idea at the time. One of those bikes had the #2695 sandcast engine with a K5 cylinders and head so I'll sell that when I complete the correct head and cylinder install. Oh, and my trusty old 79GL1000  that I took to Sturgis. It's now naked and waiting to sell in spring too.  I'm a better collector than businessman.
