I still don't think this 400 Four "built mostly of NOS parts" is worth
three grand, though it is very nice indeed.

But why did the **** go to the extreme of adding all that gash extra
pinstriping to the tank?

Ebay item 200443611324

Nice - If it sells it will probably live indoors and get trailered
to shows.

It is v nice, tempting, but bad timing and 3k is too much, still that or
a bit more is about what I'll be asking for the CB72 should I decide to
sell.

And the judges will mark it down for the extra pinstriping ;-)

And it's still got a pattern seat and non-OEM shocks. It looks like
he's fallen into the "money invested = value" trap.
