Its far too clean!! You got the main visile differences, may be more but only one pic so cant say more

That XS750 is a cracker. I used to have one of those in the 70s. A very much under rated bike. I loved mine.

Hi Gents,

Thanks for the comments.

I'm not to hung up on originality as there's a Dresda swingarm under my desk waiting to be powder coated and fitted  The speedo shows 20 odd thousand miles (not sure I believe it) but idle is fine with no unusual noises (did the primary chain on the first one I had at 18 with no real knowledge of mechanics but somehow did it!), I'll dig out a photo of my orginal bike and post it (it will be poor quality as it was with a Kodak 126 Instamatic!).

The XS750 is a nice one and very original and now I've rebuilt the carbs and fitted the correct float in one runs nicely - still drinks fuel like a small cruise liner (as did the original). The Honda is the better bike to ride ast he XS handling leaves a lot to be desired

Here's a photo of my original 500, highly modified and in a tasteful mirrorflake over black was a nice paint job but most definitely 1970's  [ Guests cannot view attachments ]
