[Guest]

These are the pics of my project. Was a wrecked 82 750 that I'm rebuilding

Fitting the motor and making/building/creating my own exhaust header

Fitting the steering dampener

Mounting an oil cooler

Modifying the swingarm

The swingarm after welding

Chain Guard

This is what it looks like before tear-down.

Thanks to chef1366 for the Kerker megaphone and thanks to tkent02 for the seat and side cover.

Wow you are not just messing around. Looking forward to seeing more. You thinking about swapping in some stiffer forks perhaps?

 

[Guest]

Would like to upgrade front end but its not in the budget just gonna get it all painted and running this year then do more next winter. I got the swingarm and some small bits painted already.

Very interesting engine swap. You did a fine job withthe header build, that looked like a real project to get it fitting so neatly. The swingarm bracing looks mega sturdy too.

Can't wait to see the finished bike.

Cheers and thanks for sharing.

The header was fun to do the first two pipes were easy the second two much more difficult I think I redid them like four times. The engine swap wasn't to hard the rear mounts went right in just needed some spacers. The front mounts required new connecting plates.

Nice job! Can't wait to attack my wheels and swingarm... getting a rolling chassis would be a godsend at this point! Keep it up!

tubeless?

tubeless?

Can these wheels be run tubeless?

 

[salty_monk]

They don't appear to be tubeless ones (they don't have the extra "bump" on the rim) but a lot of people on here run them tubeless. There is some work to be done on the valve hole to allow the O ring to seal I believe....

It's definitely something you should research & only do if you're happy.

Personally I have always run tubes in mine.

I put tubeless tires on these wheels.
I drilled out the valve hole to fit a tubeless valve.
Never had a leak or tire issues and I rode it hard.
