The stock black edging would look pretty nice on that if you can't find smoke.

Windscreen

Looking for some nice smoke colored edging to set this off...anyone know of any sources?

Body parts ready to be shipped off for decals and paint. Cant decide on the engine covers ..polish or powder coat? Gonna tackle the carbs next while everything is off. Tail piece needs to be taken apart.

NICE! I love to see the 700 and 750 E/ES bikes getting some love - it's mostly the 1100 and 1150's that get refreshed, with the 750's getting passed over since parts are so hard to come by.

Just wanted to spam up your thread a bit and let you know that I'm parting out two 750 ES's, and I've got a set of full aftermarket lowers for sale that would set your ES off nicely - along with a bunch of other goodies...

Several exhaust systems, fork brace, clipons, 1150 rear wheel, luggage rack/sissy bar, crash bars, etc.

K&N's

Got the cabs re-jetted (stage 3, thanks chef!) and replaced the rat box with a set of K&N's

Like the fabric - looks great!

You might want to see how well it fits to your tail-section, had them do mine back in the late eighties and it did not fit up well. I have a gap on mine that I've never been able to completely get rid of. At least it has been very durable.

yeah my stock seat had a pretty large gap to start with, I think the foam may have shrunk over the years, gonna try to adjust the rear piece to get it as tight as possible

Wonder if I can get them to redo my seat free of charge because they don't have a pattern for it yet?

New seat

Got the seat back from Sargents today, went in kind of bilnd on this but it turned much better than I anticipated.

Thanks for the info. I appreciate it. Pictures of mine should start rolling in the next month

"It uses the same bolt pattern as the 98 Bandit" The 1200 or 600? Sorry to be a pain, I just love the sprocket. And since mine is in pieces (as you may recall as we talked over PM in late January), why not add a sprocket

Sorry man , its a 98 Bandit 1200 bolt pattern

Polished and re-painted the front wheel, cleaned up the rotors and painted with some high gloss engine enamel.
