I like to put the stainless steel socket head bolts in the lathe and turn off those unsightly stampings on the heads.

After a few setbacks with piston issues, etc, I finally have the kettle where it is done. It starts, idles and revs fine. The clutch, brakes, suspension all work great. I will do a little fine tuning here and there and correct some small things but it came out a lot better than I expected. Everything on the bike works as it should and so far has presented no issues. I will follow a strict break-in procedure and re-torque the head, etc. I have some break-in oil and will change that out in due time.


For now, it's time to take a little break before I get started on the 74 kettle I just acquired.


Cheers,

Sky

Gorgeous!

That bike is absolutely gorgeous.  I have rebuilt a number of GT750s stock, resto-mod and full on specials and none were as pristine as that one.

Knowing what mine cost to rebuild, I don't want to think about the cost of that one.

Here's an A model (76) I did a few years ago.  http://pinkpossum.com/GT750/images/longgrass.jpg

and the Phat Trakka on a Sunday afternoon ride.  I can't recall if it's a 74 (L) or a 75 (M) but it's lightly modified  http://pinkpossum.com/GT750/phattrakka2/PTdrag.htm

Nice work on that M (75). It is a really nice resto.

I've never seen a running one in the wild. So cool!

Thanks for the nice words. I love the color of you bike, really nice.
