Xs750 896cc engine rebuild and chop!



While i was wet sanding the pipes i gave the old trumpet some love too.. sanded out some scratches on the pipes and primary. Looks nice!
 
Gonna be two weeks before the pipes are finished, got some sidecovers to whack out in the meantime. They will be copperplated i think.

Can't wait to see it! What did you decide to do with the pipes? Copper plating?
Oh, i went for chrome. Looked at a lot of coppered pieces at the platers, and decided it will look cooler with copper side panels aged like the tank and chrome pipes.. price for polishing before wasnt too bad either so im happy!

Im happy!
 
Hehe.. gave it a go. The engine shits itself a bit off throttle when under load, which is expected, this setup probably moves a whole lot less air. But damn. That sound. Barbaric!
 
Yea, im throwing in bigger mains to start with. Ran .5 bigger main in the center cylinder on the other xs, probably liked it.
 
Currently on vacation, just wanted to show you guys the fancy sissybar i bent up and welded yesterday!
