Thanks. I've been fabbing some parts for the IH built Cub Cadets plus some Kawasaki Triple parts.
Just started making exhaust manifolds for the H1 500 & H2 750 triples for the folks that have Denco & Wirges expansion chambers |

So now I know who to contact if I do pick up an older bike and need hard-to-find parts.
