Nice result, its good to know your hard work pays off. Bike looks sweet

[ojocher]

Unfortunatley it never lasts....I'm back to engine out and the barrels are in for a rebore 0.5 mm oversize due to scoring....pistons came from England, rings from the good ol' US of A and exhaust Valves from Germany.
That was funny as they gave me a five euro refund and a packet of Gold Baeren.
Also need to get those hard to find Exhaust header pipes.....relaced the front wheels with Stainless steel spokes

Things that take time during a rebuild

Little things like stripping the anodize/paint off the triple trees and removing the casting flash - then getting to elbow grease and polishing for hours.

Nice, I just got mine home 1978 GS 750E, same paint too. I estimate this time next year I'll have it done.

Enjoyed seeing yours
