triple are notorious for this as well. you'll see ones that actually get ridden (some) w the tube lengthened and pointed up

Yep! Ask me how I know..

That looks to be exceptionally   nice! You'd be hard pressed to find another in like or better condition. I sometimes miss my Banshee but it was a police magnet for test n tune.      Enjoy but be safe too.

^ Yes, that's the port on the carb for the oil injection line. Looks like you'll need to replace/ repair that damaged and short brass carb nipple. Your other carb will have a similar port.

Very nice stable of bikes/ scooters. Really digging' the Lambrettas too! Also love the blue/ white vintage Yamaha sign- was this from a dealership that you know? Enjoy! 

Nice score!    Wonder how hard it might be to strip the paint off the frame back to bare metal? That's what I'd do if mine and would look at clear or powdercoating. Yes, I know it would be a lot of work! 

Buddy Cartee (a Deal's Gap regular attendee) who resides in SC may still have his. He brought it to the Gap a few years ago.

That one has "widowmaker" on it for sure! 

And... another one sold there with "backwards" KAWASAKI decals applied on the fuel tank!    If one has the decals applied correctly, it has to be worth at least $5000 more! 

    

Incorrect graphics/ colors for a '73 as graphics/ color on bike looks to be a '75. Seat may be incorrect as something doesn't look right there and front and rear turn signals are a mis-match with 2 different designs.

It is also going to be on Motor Trend TV this weekend!

Unfortunately it will not be on the regular Motortrend TV, only on Plus and Fast TV

A legend...    not sure who would be the target market for this engineering masterpiece though..

^ bump stop for center stand rubber.

I suppose JPJ's rode a Honda?
