Considering the cost of 750 points covers if you see some really decent ones maybe pick them up and earn yourself a few bob. 750 covers have screw holes 12 and 6 o'clock not 10 and 4 like the 500/550 ones.
Maybe a rhino horn top yoke for a 750 as well.

bob me a piccy of the 750 top yolk and I'll have a look.

In short of the throttle return spring on the carbs. CB550f. A normal spring rather than one that wraps around the carb body ...I've been trying to find something similar locally but all the hardware shops have closed.. (are my descriptions rubbish?!). If you spot one that would be nice.

No idea what they look like, never owned a 750 and never will but I know they are rare so you could make a few bob bringing one back if you can find one.
The 3D printing of the tool trays seem to have stopped, no idea why.
Plus a genuine one will always be better.
K2 should be the same ears Phil but unsure if the US market used a different type than Europe, I have a NOS one lying around BTW. Not sure what side it is though, seem to think left.
Oddjob:
BTW, how do you know it was 10 million, did you count them?

My LH is straight and re-chromeable Ken - it's the RH that's creased in a place I can't straighten. If it's a RH I'd be interested pending the price Ken (think it would be may more than my budjei!)
