Hi out there, just an intro as I purchased a friends 79 that been squirreled away for the last 25 yrs.
After a 1 year complete disassembly and reassembly I recently fired it up and it sounds awsome.
My friend had it painted blue as this was his dream, the paint was mint so just a cut and polish and it looks like they should have made a blue one back in the day
His dream lives on ready for me to ride.

Welcome to the site, Blueone.
Nice looking bike!
Had to look up Branchton on the map. Do you attend the vintage motorcycle swap meet in Paris?
What is the muscle in the background?

[Jeff Bennetts]

Welcome, the bike is very sharp and looks clean enough to eat off off!

to the group Blueone.
Nice bike and like Steve i'm wondering about both cars in photo.

Thanks for the welcome, have not attended the Paris meet but have a couple friends locally that have CBX,s and they make it a yearly outing and I am sure to be joining them this year.
Am a bit of a Mopar fan as well having grown up in the late 60 early 70 muscle car era owning a 69' 340 GTS and 70' 340 Cuda back then also a 76' blue CB 750 that got an 812 kit eventually. Fast forward now have 2 self restored 69' 340 Dart Swingers.
1 is a X9 Black 4 speed with warmed up 340 dyno'd 480 HP at the flywheel and a blast to drive, bought from the original owner sold new in Kitchener Ont. but was rough project that looks awesome now. The other an F6 Green with built 727 manual shift auto, sports a 6 Pack carburated R3 340 block bored and stroked dyno'd 525 HP at the wheel sees some track time with consistent 11.50- 118 mph but it is also street driven to local gatherings.Was a mint Colorado car I bought from the original owners son. Love performance I guess.

we have two or three regular forum contributors from your area...love the blue I bought a 2nd tank, fender and cowl so I could do the same...I painted the spares black at first because that's the colour I originally chose back in '78 when I ordered my Z ( dealer changed his mind and said I couldn't have it) but then I thought if I could've had any colour I want would I have chosen black if I had more choices? ... sooo I repainted....

now I'm looking for a third set body parts for another colour change...white/orange/gold combo this time or maybe orange/black/gold

[Blueone]

Wyly your X look great!!! also in blue, I think we are on to something lol. I too am always watching for decent spare body parts in case I ever have a change of heart. Thanks for the like.
