Thank you, I appreciate the advice. I have read Mark's restoration thread about a dozen times, it's a fantastic restoration that not very many people have the patience or determination to do correctly, I am absolutely impressed with Mark's work. Leroy is a top tier collector and his collection will take your breath away. It's in North Dakota and if anyone get's out this way get ahold of me and I will take you there. Here is some links to some of the motorcycles I have restored.

This 1965 Kawasaki B8 was my first restoration. I finished it 2 years ago and it was featured in the Nov.-Dec. Motorcycle Classics Magazine.

I did this 1972 Kawasaki H2 for myself.

This is a 1976 Harley Davidson SS175, it was a terrible pain to restore. It was for another friend of mine.

I think I will be able to do the #56 sandcast justice with the help of you guys. Like I said though, it will be two or three weeks before I start on it. If there is anything you would like me to check out on any of Leroy's sandcasts, let me know.

Hi fellas, Wayne was good enough to let me join your forum so Thanks! I will start off by letting you know that I do NOT own a sandcast 750 but I have a good friend that has 4. The reason I joined your forum is that Leroy want's me to restore his latest sandcast purchase, Frame #56 with engine #79. I do not take this task lightly, I understand the historical value of a sandcast that was produced this early. I want to share and gather information so this bike gets restored as correctly as the availability of parts allows. The bike came with a lot of spare parts that appear to be correct for an early sandcast including no-number pipes, short chain guard, 5mm throttle cable, wrinkle tank, meters and a bunch of other stuff we haven't looked through yet. Leroy is a well to do man with an incredible motorcycle collection and he doesn't mind paying for good work and rare parts. He has over 500 restored motorcycles and his Honda collection is over half of it. I do restore motorcycles for a living so I know what I am up against. I am very curious to see how many of the original parts that came with the bike are still on it. I am restoring an early CB750 K1 for him right now so it will be two or three weeks till I start on it. If anyone cares to see some of the restorations I have done I can put up a few links. I specialize in Kawasaki triple and Z1s but I have done other brands.

Here is #56 as Leroy bought it with K1 tins.









Here are his other three sandcasts. The first two are restored and the red on in back is original.






The red bike in front is a Vic World bike, Frame #546 and Engine #661
The blue bike is from the Jimmy Dean museum and it is Frame #446 and Engine #478
The red bike in back was originally sold in Rochester MN and is an unrestored bike. Frame #1095 and Engine #1319

I am really looking forward to hanging out with you guys.  

Leroy also said he would fine with adding his bikes to the registry. I think one is already in there but maybe under a different name.
