Space on here for pictures of mine??
Love it! Nice and light looking. Very nicely done. How does it run with those pods?

Thanks Flaggo60! It runs great, I came up a jet size on the mains and dropped the e clip on the needles 1 notch. Pulls cleanly to the red line and doesn't have flat spots or overheat. I'm quite surprised at it for a 250 (although the 450 or 500 engine would be more fun I'm sure!).

Why? ......
I think it must be to show that at the heart of that low slung bagger, it has a heart of a race bike.

Ahhh yes I am young 20s, and anything to rub someone the wrong way. Otherwise looks better to me. All decals are part of the bike in someway anyways. I really don't give a F in this society anyways.

This is my "new" toy/project, haven't had a bike since early 80's, but keep my hands busy doing paint, body, welding for small Va. based custom chopper shop in Gainsville, VA. This was built from a rolling chassis, motor gone through and plasti gauged, all good, stage 3 jets, new slides, polished cam lobes, valves adjusted, all brake parts rebuilt, stainless front lines, new rear line, very fast ride, almost scary.
ray: She will get a face lift, now I have to go through the wiring that I F%#ked up. We'll get back on the road.

Here is my 750L, started of bone stock at the end of last summer and now looks like this. Just needs some new rear suspension and she is done. Cheers!
I really like this!
Could I trouble you to share what you have done? What model year is this?
Thanks! It is an '81, here is what I did:
Progressive springs in the front
All braided stainless brake lines
New headlight
New signals
Shaved and recovered seat using original cover
Trimmed down front fender (still have original)
Telefix fork brace
Reworked (with a big hammer) guage cluster bracket to sit lower/flatter
Lucas style tail light
Clubman bars
Fork boots
Bar end mirror
Completely went over electrical system- eliminated all bullets and most connectors with soldered connections, added the recommended grounds etc.
I think one of the biggest things visually was getting the gauges to sit lower/flatter and of course the seat. Luckily I got it in good running order so all I really needed to do was clean/rebuild the brakes and clean up the electrical systems. I should note that in the pictures the bike has 12 3/8" shocks in the rear, stock I believe are 13" so the back is a little low (hopefully not for long)
