So finally I'm gonna do this build thread on my XS750-2D EU/UK (1T5-...) first registered in 1979 in Denmark, but produced in 1977. With mikuni mark 1 carbs and 3-1 exhaust. Some previous owner installed electronic ignition.
I had it a couple of years now, I did a budget cafe build with DIY seat and paint with hammerite and vinyl on tank and side cover. Also power wrap titanium type (dime city cicles) but never doing that again, I pulled them of recently and found horribly rusted pipes!
Now it's gonna be the big build, but not the technical build, just the looks. I plan on removing the stock air filter and replacing them with k&n pods thus requiring some rejetting.
I live in Denmark, and I will link to all the good places I ordered parts from.
But first some images from the beginning.
Ordered vinyl wrap from a Polish company trough eBay. I was just temporary as part of the budget build I did while studying.
Plastic spray paint
Painted the gas tank for real at that time. And removed the shorty exhaust. That was a pain in the ass when living in the city - waking up everybody when starting the machine in the morning with high revs on choke.
