Nice for zipping around town, but I wouldn't take it out on an interstate highway. It's in very nice shape though. 28,403 miles? What happened to the original exhaust headers? You know, the bluish purple ones. RR |

You know, the bluish purple ones. RR You're looking at the originals. It's a two-stroke and the headers don't get hot enough to turn blue. Besides, I ported, polished and re-jetted so it burns clean and fast. It's got 29,000 miles on it now. Original. It's just now getting really broken-in. Anybody who rides bikes on the Interstate is rather dumb. Winding roads is what a bike is for or blasting around town. CN |

Neal doesn't do that. I'm sure the boat would be fine without him however.

My best friend had that model in high school back in the 70's. I had a KZ
400 and we rode everywhere and crashed often as well. When that 380 hit the power band he would leave me in a cloud of blue oil smoke and it would take forever to catch up. I always wondered how the three cylinder 750 was. Scott "JG" wrote in message ... Neal doesn't do that.

Scott Had a friend back in the 70's who souped up a GT-750 water buffalo. Name was Craig Batterschell. I did the original porting, polishing and tuning. K&N air filters with three 32mm Mikunis, expansion chambers, nitrous and eventually a turbo/nitrous. You were doing good if you could hold on. It felt like your hands were being ripped off the grips. What a wild ride. He did the quarter mile in the mid-nines. CN |
