It was on ebay without a reserve and no one bid against me. I brought it home yesterday. Its bone stock, and everything is there, in a small box of parts. pretty stoked. Sorry for the blurry pics i think i was a bit excited when i was taking these. [/quote] '78 1000 Long Term Project '80 750G 750 Twin Big Bore Track Bike

The seller could have backed out though. Not with out penalty. Good score, too bad for the PO.

I wonder, did they come with it? Maybe that's why it was sold.

Sweet a 400 deluxe ! Those are really neat and kind of rare. About 5 years ago a got set of fiberglass luggage bags for one of those at a garage sale that I sold on E-bay for $300.... so I'm pretty sure you did just fine....

Nice bike to ride to work, dive them all week on 2 gallons of gas too!

If I knew what I was doing all the time life wouldn't be any fun.

rack is correct. seat is not.
They are kinda rare, but i wouldn't say they are valuable. people don't really seem to be interested in these 400's. i cant believe how much cheaper the parts on ebay are for this thing compared to the kz650 or 1000.

Personally I am not a fan of the grandpa-bike look, so I'm going to remove the fairing, bags, crash bar, and rack, and swap for the correct seat.They are all in poor shape, but i will hang them in the rafters of my garage next to the Windjammer fairings i will never be able to sell, and cant throw away.
