Thanks. I didn’t bother starting the 2004 Yukon or the 2009 Honda Goldwing since they’re both emissions compliant. I have two 48 CJ-2A’s and a 42 GPW that I haven’t started restoring. Way too many projects.

I’m pushed tight on space and there are the other killers - budget and time. The K5 and CJ7 live offsite a few minutes away. I hope to bring K5 home after some long overdue rehab. Maybe this summer.

I’d like another Willys but 6’3 me is kind of cramped in that 65.

I’m almost to the point where I’ve gone as far with the 65 as I can go for a carport in the burbs. If the pennies hold out going into June, I hope to send it off for the stuff I can’t do here.

The 81 CB 750K has it’s own problems. When it ran, it ran great after I had the carbs rebuilt. It’s developed some electrical problems and a chronic oil leak inside.

I don’t know much about those machines but it appears a seal has gone bad inside around the area for the electronic ignition that fills with oil. Maybe one day I can find someone to split the case.

It looks good sitting in the carport with the powdercoated tank.

The coil packs ohm out weird but they’re a budget item and the 750 is low priority.
