Really? Joking? I thought is was too modern for most. I will get some more pictures up tonight then. The electric starter and gears are gone, different master cyl, no more key, the triple tree has been shaved, all electronics hidden and other misc tabs removed. I am riding the bike currently so the paint will look like hell till the fab work is completed.

Wow did the motor liven up when i removed the starter gears. Felt like a 10% power increase. I have tossed two trash cans full of junk off this bike and once i finish the exhaust it should reduce the weight even further.

no, not joking. I love it! You didn't hack up the frame, and other than exhaust and instruments it looks pretty complete. Very clean, minimalist look to it. Bravo! :clap::dancing:

Chuck, I bought that exact bike in '73. I'd been into a dealership that sold hondas and yamahas, and decided on the twin TX750 because of the grief I had on my older '69 ( YEAH I KNOW...) cb750 with the carbs. of course I was only 22 yrs old or so.. After I had it a month or so and read in magazines about the balance shaft chains going limp in them, I got scared and imagined it was vibrating itself apart. I sold it quickly and then got a CB750F, which I promply trashed also hahaha

Free exhaust completed. Please don't mind the MIG welds. Would have tig but old rusty chromed metal; i didnt want to be breathing in all the fumes for a long time and plus its getting wrapped anyways.

Nice work on the pipe, it's almost like one of those fancy MotoGP ones :)

Love the blue too!
 
Not a very good pic but the little fella in the front there is a 1982 GS300L.

Hard to tell with the 300 but that bridge could sure use a coat of paint :eek:
 
Man that looks good, are you planning to paint it the same as the tank? What rear sets are those?
 
The tank is beat up bad. The color of the tank is kinda neat though. It looked purple when i first bought the bike but now is a deep blue for some reason. I will be modifying the tank for my knees and bars. Then painting the entire bike this winter. The rear sets are motobits. They have more applications then what is just on their site. I am very happy with them. I spent too much for them but whatever.

Now i can ride and slowly finish the million loose ends and the fit and finsh issues that i feel the bike has.
 
Cool, thanks for that. They actually appear a little cheaper than the Raask equivalents and the reports on the Raask ones indicate average build quality. Not enough to complain but enough that they become expensive for what they are.

The Motobits look a little better from the photos.

You'll have to post up once you get her neatened and finished, should look awesome!

Hi Pete,

I've been in a funk lately because both my bikes are not roadworthy. A better mechanic than I could probably have them both up and running in short order, but it seems every time I set out to put the 200 back together, I just can't seem to get it right. If I had the funds I'd buy a new bike but it's just not happening now.

Bugger! I hear ya'... been there done that before my 450 was done... now I'd be morbid if I had to do without it again...
 
Flak - I had some Motobits on my Honda CL175. They were a little pricy, but I loved them. Aside from the brake linkage needing a little modification (which I knew beforehand), they bolted right on and worked flawlessly.
 
Just picked this up the other day. Needs some work, but it was cheap. For those that are concerned, it will be mostly a restoration.
