Thanks @weaselbeak. I will see if I can find a new one on eBay. I don't care about it looking OEM any more. I just want the brake to work so I can sell it.
Hi @fredintoon. Nice to hear from you, but I don't own a drill press. - - -
@Brassneck if the brake works, it is ridable. Just because the top end needs to be rebuilt doesn't mean you can't ride it.
@fredintoon I live in a 1 bedroom apartment in NYC. I have no place to put a drill press.

I had the impression that it wasn't a running engine (not sure how as I don't think you stated one way or the other...but I guess it was in the way that you were talking about the gloom over paying to have it rebuilt, etc.).
Anyways, good luck.
Thanks Leo. I want to sell it. I'd like to spend my weekends riding, not wrenching. Time is too precious.
After hearing that the NOS cam stoppers fall apart, I have no desire to invest any time or money in this engine. Time for a newer bike. I'm looking at the HD Street 750. I can get a low mileage used one (2015) for $5k-$6k and it looks like a great bike for my needs.
