Of course it wasn't exactly free...it cost too much of my time to roll the thing onto the trailer to consider it without cost...but 10 minutes of rolling a bike with flat tires just isn't very expensive.

mid 70's yesterday...high 30's today...mid 60's tomorrow...low 30's on Tuesday...

The lion's head is an old water fountain that used to be in the city park.  The little kids would put their head in the lion's mouth to get a drink.

As much as I would love to put a bike like this together, she'll be parted out.  I have neither the time nor the room to build her up...plus she's a texas bike with no title.

What a fun project it would be though. Too bad it's not a little newer I had the 79 F model what a sweetheart that all new 4 valve motor was.

How much you want for the whole bike Mak?

I'd entertain offers from people wanting the whole machine and now would be the best time to hit me up with offers.  I haven't had time to fully research what I can get parting it.

If I didn't have my $$$$$ tied up in my GS,I'd pay for it and pay to have it shipped.

dude....

I was just reading about cb's the other day. if the case is SAND cast, ie rough to the touch (not just a little corrosion) instead of investment cast (smooth edges, smooth radii) you'll find a buyer quick. they're going for large dollas.

the part about being a texas bike with no title will hurt a little ;) but the next owner may not care given what cb750 sand casts are worth.

check it out. you may have some money there, instead of parting.

It's not a sandcast...I was quite disapointed about that but there's still quite a bit about ehr that's worth some cash.
