I'm glad I got my FXR back when nobody wanted them ugly Jap looking Harleys.

[QUOTEI WILL build another 750 SOHC chopper after I move, so that will be my hardtail.[/QUOTE]

750 sohc is in the top 10 of great motorcycle engines
game changer
please try to build as close to stock as possible
prices on vintage Honda’s have been leading the market for 5 years
Simple fixes on a barn fresh 750A ( Hondamatic, less desirable) doubled my money in 30 days at Wauseon antique meet)
please don’t cut one up
