Haven't posted any updates in the last week, been busy and have only been doing the really boring things like fitting indicators, checking and double checking everything is tightened up properly and various other bits and pieces.
Had to modify the muffler cause it was WAY to loud to pass a warrant of fitness test, had to shift the muffler a bit too cause it was hitting the ground on right hand corners!
Did manage to take it out on a proper ride at the weekend, nothing fell off ( including me) and it rode and handled unbelievably well... So stable yet incredibly responsive to quick direction changes. I think it's a bit of a fluke but I've achieved a spot on balance of performance and stability.
Managed to sort out a number plate light after a couple of failed attempts, here's a photo of it (not illuminated) will put up a photo of it lit up tomorrow after it wired in.
And here's a couple of shots of my indicators

Here's what the number plate looks like illuminated... Not very exciting!!! Just another boring bit of progress in the journey to road legalness...
Hey it doesn't need to be exciting if it works properly. Good job.

That's looking awesome! They look primo with a fat rear tire ay! I like what youve done with the exhaust up in the tail section... Mine hits the ground on hard corners in its current position:-( will try and move it up a bit. How are you gonna do your tail light? Or is this a track bike?
Here's a couple of shots from a ride we went on to cape palliser on the weekend:

Thanks, I'm really liking it myself!! LOL!!!!!
It's not gonna be a track bike, so I will need a tail light/turn signals. I'm prob. gonna go with some small LED's molded into the tail.
I still gotta machine up some rearsets, and other bits, but it's coming along.
The 190 rear tire made getting the chain lined up a bit of a chore, but I managed to shift it to the right by machining up new spacers on left side and machining off some of the caliper mount on the right, while getting the wheel centered in the frame.
Being a precision machinist helps
Keep up the good work, yours looks awesome!!

i'm loving that 750, everything apart from the exhaust looks awesome in my eyes, just not a fan of wrapping and the stumpy muffler but awesome job!

Love the little enduro. I usually do a dirt bike every year. Love the simplicity and fun factor. What year and model is that? Looks like someone punted the oil injection tank. Is that a rotary valved motor? If not then that carb might be in the wrong place lol.

Nah, it does have an oil injector tank, just wasn't in place for the photo. It's a 1972 tc90. I've totally stripped and rebuilt it, got it running yesterday.... It's so much fun, can't wait to take it for a proper ride an do some skids!

Sweet! From the pics it likes like it's in great condition. Enjoy!
That's really sharp. I love the transformation. It looks like it's begging to be thrown around some esses.

It's been a long time since anything happened with this bike. A friend of mine crashed it quite badly at a track day, to the point that he had to buy it off me.
it has sat for the last 4 years rotting, but finally, another friend has decided to rebuild it. it now runs, and he is in the process of making it look pretty again.
watch this space.
This build started and finished before I joined. Awesome build, and sorry to hear of its fate.
Cool that its being resurrected.
