Breathe deep and think of a babbling stream, see the water dance across the rocks. Hear the Robins chirping in the trees. Let it pass Bill. On the other hand, we are all gonna be dead longer than we are going to be alive, so go for it!

          The first part of your response is what I really need to do. I can, in no way afford the price this sucker is going to get to. I've got too many other irons in the fire. I forgot to post the ebay listing too.

How on earth did that engine come off a running bike, as-is and not be a restored mill?

I'd like to see the rest of the bike if the engine was that nice.

        I hear ya, I can only imagine about the rest of the bike. Also, I'm wondering WHY someone would take it apart. I know the money is pretty good for parts but, I sure couldn't do it. I guess if I was desperate, I might though.

        That 450 motor sold for $995 and had 23 bids on it! :o ::) There's no telling how high it would have gone if I had of had some bucks to use to try to get it! "Can anybody say Sky High? ???

        Also, there was a 68' CB450 gas tank that would have made a nice addition to a 450 build, that went for $201 with 3 bids.
