Wayne thanks for letting me join this awesome forum. I'm relatively new to the hobby and have been buying old Honda motorcycles for the past 3 years. I started with a 1977 CB550 and from then on caught the bug. I have had a number of bikes and love meeting the people in the hobby. Lately though I have been into sandcast 750's and CB750 K0. I have had a sandcast frame with an unstamped engine which I ended up selling - big mistake! I recently found a sandcast engine for $75 - it was #646. The engine needed a lot of work and I ended up selling that as well. I did not think it was fair to the hobby for me to keep it if I wasn't able to rebuild the engine. This past sunday however, I ran into a CL ad for a chopper with a sandcast engine. It was only on CL for about 3 hours. I called up the guy and he sold it to me, so I have engine #2184. This engine is in much better shape. All the fins are in good shape. The engine has compression and cranks over. Finding this engine has given me some encouragement that some day I will have my very own Sandcast. Prior to this find, I have been buying up 1970 CB750 K0 bikes all over the US. I found a gold one in Santa Cruz, a Blue/green one Wisconsin, and another blue/green one in Maryland all within the past month. And even today I found bought another K0 in Michigan.
