I guess I'm just as stupid as people think...... I have found one in Germany.

Discuss anything about other motorcycles, accessories, riding gear and other motorcycle related topics.

I got well scammed!! 28 years on line and the first time!!

I needed a 755A #1 body or 75 complete #1 carb. Someone on line recommended a dealer, Ranson Motorcycle parts in Pensyllvania. Yes, he had one, showed me the picture and it looked good.
Then he used a local courier, Nexepress, to move it to FedEx. NO, I have no idea why that should have been necessary since Fedex will pickup from you or you use a dropshop, but that's when it all went pearshaped.
Not going into all the crap that has gone on, including being accused by Nexexpress as a drug dealer!!
Suffice to say, money gone and no carb.

So, cut to the chase, can anyone help with a carb??

EDIT: One has been sourced from German eBay and is on it's way!

Not 30 mins ago I found one on eBay.de that had been wrongly labeled so I missed the first time I looked, but thank you anyway.
