    I like most, have NEVER cared for the Pingels. Mainly because Im absent minded and will ALWAYS forget to shut it off. And, for the price, its just as cheap to buy a new vaccum one. Ive never understood the need for a Pingel...

      Good point. I just like the simplicity of no vacum needed, and both of my bikes have them so I instinctively shut them off whenever I stop, no problem.

      If I lived closer, I would sell my 79 "L" and by your suped up 78 750. Have you sold it yet?

          Nope not sold yet. Couple people interested, but like I said its a good month from being put together. I havent really sooped it up. I just rebuilt the top end. However, were someone to WANT it sooped up, I have a head, jugs and pistons from a 79 850 on its way this weekend that I could install. It will give you 843cc (the 5-600 Wiseco kit gives you 844cc, and yes, higher compression too) and would only cost the potential buyer maybe another 3-400 or so for me to install vs buying a 5-600 bore kit, machine work, etc etc. And, the jetting stays relatively the same, so there wouldnt be a whole lot of fiddling there to mess around with before it was road ready. Its a pretty neat mod, the trick is finding all the parts. The 79 850s are not as common as you'd think. From there you can also get degreeable cam sprockets, and really gain a bit of punch from one of the BEST motors Zook ever built. The 8v 750 also had straight cut gears stock, it can really really take some punishment, and you can punch em out pretty good. Heck, I even know where to get some turbo stuff for em
