  2. It looks ok, although why Xerox race paint job ? Make sure it starts up ok, and its had a belt change, or service history. Good engine the old 2 valve air cooled. Although it what melt the tarmac in sheer performance.
     
  3. not bothered about paint job as that can change perfomance wise if that what wanted i would have bought jap
    more winding twisty roads than straight round here lol
     
  4. Not a fan of the race rep paint but looks in good nick.

    I have spare rear panels and handle if you wanted to back to two up status.
     
  5. I don't reckon thats too bad,(without seeing it of course),and the price is def.right.As long as it runs/rides ok of course.At that money I'd give it a big service and smoke it for a while,at least then you'd KNOW that it had been serviced properly.And if it all goes horrible you can always break it,you'd probably get your money back that way
     
  6. toying with ideas

  9. :-D nice one
     
  10. Superb! You're not going to be disappointed with the performance either - the 750 is a rewarding ride in my opinion (but then I would say that wouldn't I? :wink:).

    I'm particularly interested in what tinkering you get up to; I've got the urge to make some changes to mine as well and I need a tiny bit of inspiration.
     
  11. tinkering limited to general servicing at mo

    (the wifes taking notice at the minute lol )
    as for inspiration post 7main for that so far :wink:
     
  12. Hehe, I've sat for the last 10 minutes just taking in the details of that picture. :upyeah:

  17. She has no clue about bikes, Not noticed, I'll just mention it sometime and she will say "Your only happy when your covered in oil
    messing with bikes"
    No shit Sherlock! :biggrin:
     
  18. yep the mrs knows she helped me get it in the house lol
    as for wheel colour i think they are going black
    nose fairing is to be changed and is going to be red
    the red stripe on the mudguard changed to black and continued down the bike
    maybe might change my mind yet
