Welcome to this excellent forum, there's lots of help and encouragement here and a great many 750 owners - I only have the smaller siblings!
I visited Trowbridge once, as you have a street, pub and other places with the same surname as me!
Happy spannering!
Ian

Welcome, look after those exhaust they are like chromed rocking horse poo!
Reproductions I'm afraid - However the previous owner replaced them, so not my expense 😊

Hi and a welcome from Compton Martin, currently driving through Trowbridge every morning on my way to work. I don’t have a 750 but a 400 and a 550 amongst others do have a lot of tools and help if you need it, you’re only 40 mins away and a nice ride. Comfy sofa (Andy) is Bristol, Rome’s (above) is in Frome, Matt’s in Yeovil and Tim (Multiman Tim) is in Bath so there’s loads of help in the general area.

Great to know there are experienced people around me for sure. Once my workshop is cleared of other folks "stuff" I will make some serious decisions as to whether she's coming totally apart or a sympathetic restoration. She certainly wants the clock faces sorting (faded badly), fuel tank and panels want paint and the seat wants attention. Then you end up looking at the wheel rims (17" on the rear, what's that about lol) little rust spots and dull spokes. I think I know where this is going lol...

I can recommend a great painter in Bristol who I use, engineering shops and the like, powder coaters and parts too so always ask, we’re all here to help in whatever way we can
