I've always figured it's good to find a complete bike as opposed to a half bike and then searching out the rest of the parts but man, this puppy is showing it's age. It's a good thing aluminum doesn't rust. It must have been a leaky barn. Given the value of a steel interstate tank and side covers you likely still got a deal though I hope.

Might be fiberglass tank if from a 72.
 
Interesting that he'd had the bike since 1976, but didn't know it had had an engine swap.

Things that happened long ago...

Seems like a bar(gai)n find in the UK is not the same as in the US.

I was watching it on ebay and expected it to go for more, but I think the fact that it's a mixture of 750 and 850 parts that kept the price down.

It's a steel tank.
