Mike, what triples are those?

Good question.  They came on the bike when I bought it, they don't have any stampings that I could find to indicate what brand they are.  I really like them though!

Stev-o. Send me some pics of that bike/post more on here!  Never really got a good look at it. Drag bars? So far I'm digging this one the most!

Not drag bars, superbike bars. This is the 836 and it runs! Just recently put the Bridgestone BT45's, handles better now, had 12 yyear old Dunlops on it. This is my fav too.

Sure...looking forward to it. Is your 350 motor stock? Wondering how it's performance will compare to my 550 cafe (stock motor except exhaust)

Pods and exhaust are the only mods I know of.  I've come to the conclusion that the previous owner new jack #$%* about this or any other bike.  I wish I could contact the original builder and find out exactly what was done to this thing.   The bike is considerably lighter than stock though.

Went for a ride today with two guys - one on my CB750K4 (pictured left), one on his own CB750K (center) and me on my K2 (right). It was 90F and hot but we managed to find a good route with no traffic - here were are getting a late lunch...

The only good thing about those big V8 bikes is the cagers can't do a hit and run. They hit one of those, their car is not leaving the scene.

I went to a local car show at the Elk's lodge in Santa Maria yesterday and look what I parked next to in the parking lot. That's a big block chevy that said 502 on the valve covers. Between the weight and the huge rear tire that must be a handful in tight windy corners.

Hahaha, so it is. I thought it was that sweet 78 you scored for some reason, shoulda clued in with the paint and gas cap.

Last night at Haugen's (local Cruise Night for motorcycles) there were lots of Harleys out (always seems to be) and three SOHC-4's.  Mine was the 350, Bruce (Brooze72) had his 500, and another fellow I know (Richard) came on his 750.
