Progress on the 750
« on: August 24, 2021, 07:18:13 AM »
Waiting for a new set of screws from DSS for transmission cover, apart from that she is ready for installing. Might run it before it goes in the frame. And rubber pucks to be fitted.

Remove the exhaust flanges off as, this makes it easier to get in the frame and you won't scratch it  ;)

Was going to be semi clever and photo all parts before assembly begins but realised I don’t have seat back from restorers. But picture tells the story so far.

Yes, first thing to do is get that tank off the garage floor before it becomes a victim of my clumsiness! 🤭😂

Excellent Ken, the ones I have already are not perfect so this will match perfectly! Yes just the shell required.

Hi Johnny,
Great work going on there - that's a very rapid transformation.  My latest 400/4 was taken to bits in 1986 by the PO (now deceased),  I inherited it in 2001 and it only ran for the first last week!
Anyway, I'm not familiar with 750 parts details but if the indicator bodies and lenses are the same as 400/4, I have a few brand new genuine ones if you are stuck.

See you soon,
Ian

No point in rushing these things Ian!😂 Thanks guys for your help on the indicator shell front. Ken I will pass on address through PM. Ian thanks for your offer I will probably go for Kens used one as the others are not new. Cheers for that and catch up soon.
