I have no clue what I am doing...
After 5 years of saving change in a giant jar... I have finally cashed it all in and bought a 1977 XS 750! The bike kicks and moves, just not well. Over the next few months I plan on stripping the entire bike and giving it more of a cafe look. This is my first bike build so any suggestions or comments are greatly appreciated. I have written out a few plans below. Keep in mind that I have absolutely no idea what I am doing.
To Do List:
-new filters
-change spark plugs
-chop all unwanted brackets
-chop and weld on new seat bar
-re-wire bike with hidden battery
-clean carburetor
-new seat pan
-fiberglass cafe seat
-upholster seat
-paint frame
- mount exhaust
-fix automatic start and mount
-change oil
-mount tail light and headlight
-simplified gauge cluster
- wrap exhaust
- paint rims
- new "larger" tires <--- need suggestions
-add bolt on handle bars
-cut and mount front fender
-paint tank, seat, and accessories
- licence plate mount
- replace oil filter bolt
- adjust carbs <--- might have to take to a shop
- re-run throttle cable
- mount throttle
