Lovely bikes, both of them! Sent from my iPhone using DO THE TON

Bought a running titled 1978 xs750 yesterday for $600! Came with a full parts bike with a nice set of black bodywork and stock seat. Right now it is a starship trooper with full Vetter kit and awful/amazing king queen seat on the stock seat pan. Radio even works! I’m almost tempted to leave it...

Hard second for the Matchless!

Lots of good info and lots of good positive folks! Welcome and I look forward to following your build.

Nice get! Welcome. We’re a good bunch here. I look forward to following your build thread.

Very clean. Nice job.

I love the Black Knight! Looking forward to this one as well.

Got some more shop time in today. Started out with the carbs. The parts bin that came with the bike included a set of stainless sockethead screws (from Stainless Cycles who no longer operate their website but still sell on eBay) to replace the JIS stuff on the carbs. I also took the opportunity...

Those are gorgeous!

And all is well with the world! Congrats!

I’ll have you know those are safety flops.

Got some more shop time today. Mostly cleaning stuff. Irk came through big with the 550 kicker! I put it on and it’s a lot closer to clearing than the stock jawn. I think with a little bending and trimming on the brake lever it’ll clear nicely. Here’s some stuff I got cleaned(except for that...

Jealous!
