Re: Which 7X series had the dash pod

I think it may have been an option. Any of the 75s I know off that had dual tanks had the second ones gauge and switch there.

Re: how do you decide to sell a project?

Shorty I have a daily now. So I'm in no rush to sell or buy. I got a couple guys at work who may have some one they know interested in the 75. It only needs rings and rear main to run right again.
