2nd try? On the cheap friendly comp?
Here's what I ended up doing with my son-in-law $800 for a 1975 Honda CB550f made the first day of worldwide production with only 3200 miles on it. I put another $600 or so in parts mostly in sidecovers, their paint match, and new tires. It will run in the mid to high 14's. My son did me better in bang for the buck but his is no where near as pretty. He got a 84 700 V4 Saber that is much quicker, probably capable of hitting low 13's in the right hands. He has under $1000 in his bike.
