A very good friend of mine in the 70's was crazy about motorcycles from Triumph 650 choppers with hard tail frames, to CB750 Sohc engines to stroker iron head Sportsters who was also a good mechanic and an amateur drag racer told me it all depended on how much money you could get your hands on. Luckily I only wanted my CB 750 K1 to be able to whip my little brother's 1973 Z-1. Back then it took a Kenny Harman cam,valve springs, rejetted carbs with pod filters and a 811 piston kit. It left Z-1's for dead. Luckily I was parts manager at a Honda shop and got everything for cost and labor for free. The good old days.
