Good lookin machines.
The "slight weep" concerns me...
But then I worry too much.

I have one in green, all original with about 4400 miles on it. It has been in storage for a few years. May be interested in selling...

Since your deal with Phil folded, thought I'd mention this. (was with Phil at Barber)

Mine, not cheap but I think she is a beauty. ( calendar, last year) ridden regularly around the area last year and this summer.

I see one photo of a clean looking 78E.
Very nice...

 

[650Skull]

looks to have been cleaned up well. Special gauges and exhaust headers. Problems in the right header. Inner tube has rusted out? New paint job, (Star black?), and non original 78E tank and side-cover decals.
