Title: Just picked up my dad's 69 #424

My name is Terry and I live in El Cajon,CA. Just did a Rosa trip to Iowa and picked up my dad's 69 cb750 #1000424. It's set up as a chopper and needs a lot of work. I have most of the stock parts as well. Tried to post a pick but it was to large. I'll have to figure that out.

Hi Terry,

I have a restored sandcast that used to be a chopper.  I live in Hollywood go to San Diego to work a couple times a month and stay in Fletcher Hills.  Give me a call if you want and I can send you some before and after photos.

Welcome Terry! Plenty of knowledge and experience on this board to help you.

My first sandcast came to me as an abandoned chopper:
