Here is a 2013 V7 in Cincinnati for $3500. I don't know the seller. He says he got it from Cadre.
Thanks, AMB! I've got that one saved in FB. While I like the look of wire wheels better, I think I'm leaning towards cast for practical reasons. It seems you've got more tire options with the alloys, since you can run tubeless.
For the folks suggesting a v50 III or v65 SNIPThen I thought if 1 or 2 guys more knowledgeable than me couldn't get it working, how the heck am I going to accomplish that? SNIPdid I give up too easily? Are they really out there? Are there "secret" parts stashes?
When a "modern" 750 vibrates more than a 53 year old 750 (Ambassador) or 47 year old Convert, it vibrates too much (IMO).
....I gotta wonder how much is perception and how much is reality?
Here's my advice: everyone should buy newer (that way the prices of the oldies will go down and I can afford more of them).
Thank you, maurice! I appreciate your vote! I like the look of the V65, for sure! Do you have the SP or the unfaired version?
Other than nostalgia, I don't see the point in buying a vintage small block and pumping money into it to get it well sorted equal the same price as a modern small block.-AJ
Let me see if I can shed some light on this.
Didn't the early small blocks have a oiling issue in the rear drive? I had a V65SP that I really enjoyed, but the couple I sold it to (30 years ago)had something go in the rear drive.
Not everyone has the free time and/or desire and *ability* to take on projects of this nature. "It's all good".
There is an update, actually two.1) Drill an oil passage so that fling off the ring gear finds it's way to the pinion bearings more effectively, flip a shim around to catch that oil and funnel it down the hole. My V50 III went 40k + without that modification though, the gears and bearings all still look like new. 2) The "lock tabs" under the ring gear bolts can fracture, the bolt(s) then loosens, lots of crunchy noises ensue and possibly a cracked housing. Remove the tabs (which do nothing anyway) and Loctite the bolts into place.
hello,The old SB (may be before NTX) are smaller and 25 kg lighter than V7. I prefer carb vs injection.....
