                That thing is super sweet. Also despite it's looks could be one of the all time sleepers to those that don't really know what's under the hood so too speak. Maybe put some 750CC decals on it somewhere.

                  Thanks again your positive feedback!

                  By the way, the bike started with first start!
                  It runs a bit roughly, but it should smooth down when the carbs are balanced.
                  The exhaust sound was nice growl.

                  I can take a video clip, when I have carbs balanced.

                          Carbs balanced.
                          Here is the video clip. The smoke around the engine is coming from header paint.
                          I?m sorry about the video quality. It?s taken with my mobile phone and the bike was inside the garage.

                              Sorry - Love bad jokes. That bike is awesome.
