78' Maha Triple
hey guys. fairly new to this site and this is my first post. i picked up a 78 xs750 special 2 months ago for $150. its a barn find, not running, been sitting for 10 years. its in alright shape, not to much pitting. got enough parts with it to build another bike. 2D seat and tank, front end, rear end, engine, carbs, petcocks, pipes, and a bunch of stuff i haven't even gone through yet. has a 79 engine in it, that has had the 2nd gear issue dealt with. haven't quite desided what to do with it yet. i'm thinking a cross between a cafe and a bobber, but time will tell. right now i'm just focusing on getting it running before i spend to much money on it. so it will be a bit ratty the first time around the block. got the carbs ultrasonic cleaned, new kits, pod filters, tank sealed up, petcocks modded from vaccum to manual, but am waiting on 3 over priced floats to arrive in the mail. so in the mean time, i'v rebuild the breaks, cleaned up the pipes, and have sorted out the few wirering problems. this is my first project bike and i'm loving learning while getting my hands dirty.
