I compared my 78 cb to a friends 81 virago. No competition. The honda was just so much better. Even after all these years, the honda, while rough looking now, still tends to be more mechanically sound than most any brand even from the 80s.
The ride IS the adventure. The destination is just to get gas!

Just looking at my water bill, how in the hell can one man and a small dog use 2244 gallons of water in 30 days?  That is 74.8 gallons a day.

I have checked for leaks several times in the 6 years I have lived in this house. The city owns the water company, and I along with a lot of other people believe the city is price gouging.

Ya know....KLR's help reduce utility costs...  But really, that's just wrong.
My place is full electric, so all of my "utilities" are on my light bill. Heatpump, electric furnace and a well pump in a spring house. My light bill last month was $54. In the dog days of summer it was $90. Last winter with the heat going was running around $75. No clue why it's cheaper to heat the joint than it is to cool it....except I've added a woman to the house since then.  I don't think she's happy unless the washing machine is running...
Never being inside the house helps keep the utilities down.

When I lived in South Carolina I had the exact same setup. The electric bill was very similar to yours, and I even had to water 3 horses, 5 goats, too many chickens, and several calves.

that is just sad.
$135 a month, equal billing, rates go up 2ce a year.
highest electric rates in North America, driving industry away; our government says "but we have to go green" and signs ridiculous contracts to green companies and pays them 10 x what it costs to produce, then sells excess electricity to New York at a loss.
otoh, we don't have to decide between Trump and Hillary!

I remember once when my dad gave me money to pay the electricity bill but instead I bought a lottery ticket for a brand new car. When I got home, I explained to my dad what I did and he beat the crap out of me. But the next day, when my dad woke up and opened the door, outside my house was a brand new car. We all cried especially me, because the car was from the electricity company, they were there to cut off the electricity, my dad beat the crap out of me again.
[ok, may be in the wrong thread, but so what? be nice, it's coming Christmas]

What do you reckon my chances are of fitting a V4 ( 750 Magna) into a SOHC 750 frame?
Also...
What do you reckon my chances are of fitting a spoked wheel to the shaft drive setup from a Magna? Interchangeable with Shadow parts, perhaps??

Not sure if this helps, but I have found that some Goldwing shaft rims will fit DOHC's. Might want to check them out.
It's only illegal if you get caught.
If at first you don't succeed, use more lighter fluid

I have a spoke Gold Wing wheel and drive unit. If you had to you could always make up a custom drive shaft to mate the two together. You are welcome to the wheel if you want it.

I wonder how the hub works on the GL shaft wheel. Would it require using the swingarm? I don't see why you couldn't lock the hub the same way you do with a brake stay.
Reason for this, I can't get motivated to work on Hackjob. I think it's because it's another CB, and I've had a few of those. As much as I love the single cam motors, I just want a new challenge.
Thinking about putting the V4 I've got here in that bike. Shaft drive would be so nice, if the gearing works out ok. Choosing your own gearing is definitely a benefit of a chain.

A titled XL500S found me. I'm going to take a look at it in the morning. Highly likely I will buy it for the price he wants, as long as it's not a heap once I see it in person.
Might give the forum it's first single cylinder thread...
