Are those '79 or '80 rotors? I wasn't aware of drilled rotors in '78.
Am I seeing a few fins busted out of the head behind the plug? Be on the look out for a head and that bike would be near perfect.
Wish I could ride out and take a ride witchall in AZ. Word has it that OMR has a nice Z bike somewhere out in that direction.

Thanks! If I remember correctly, the twin front brakes were an option in 1978 over single front brakes and the twins had drilled rotors.
I want to get the bike close to show condition and you're right, a couple broken fins that a PO sanded to make look nice. It's on my list of improvements to find a replacement. It won't cause any performance problems now, but I am on the look out for a good condition head. I also want to replace the handlebar switches as they're a little worse for wear. A lot of improvements to do when the weather gets hot, such as more polishing and replacing some other worn parts.
First show on April 1st. Antique And Classic Motorcycle Show And Swap Meet in Phoenix.
Just ordered a BMG Montana leather jacket. Reviews are great. They sold out at Daytona, but they're expecting a delivery from England this week.

Thanks, mate! Looking for a good condition, replacement stock head. Also, would like a complete motor, including carbs, starter, etc. I'll look Larry up.
