    Now you can dump the profit into the Cooley! What are the plans for it? Restoration or resto-mod?
    Exactly the plan Ed, leaning towards a stock restoration.

      I say flip it for a modest profit, maybe trade some guy the cooley for a couple bikes plus cash and continue the search for a resto-mod candidate.

      Of course, the challenging part will be finding a guy who is interested in that kind of deal (my pm box is clear).
      Cooley came with a 9 out of 10 set stock pipes and a set of NOS mirrors so I might b inclined to head further in that direction.

It looks very nice. Glad the search is over. I've followed your progress on the Resto-Mod site and always enjoy your projects.
        Hoping I can get you or Ed to paint it for me...

            A double flip!: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Kawasaki-Oth...m=281973349381

            Just a coincidence.

              That one is a true 73 (black engine) the one I sold was a 75 ( solver engine) with 73 body parts.

                That would be nice! I tracked down the guy that painted your 700 and he said that due to EPA regulations, he is pretty much done with that type of paint and work.
