    That's looking awesome! They look primo with a fat rear tire ay! I like what youve done with the exhaust up in the tail section... Mine hits the ground on hard corners in its current position:-( will try and move it up a bit. How are you gonna do your tail light? Or is this a track bike?

    Here's a couple of shots from a ride we went on to cape palliser on the weekend:

      Thanks, I'm really liking it myself!! LOL!!!!!
      It's not gonna be a track bike, so I will need a tail light/turn signals. I'm prob. gonna go with some small LED's molded into the tail.

      I still gotta machine up some rearsets, and other bits, but it's coming along.

      The 190 rear tire made getting the chain lined up a bit of a chore, but I managed to shift it to the right by machining up new spacers on left side and machining off some of the caliper mount on the right, while getting the wheel centered in the frame.

      Being a precision machinist helps

      Keep up the good work, yours looks awesome!!

          i'm loving that 750, everything apart from the exhaust looks awesome in my eyes, just not a fan of wrapping and the stumpy muffler but awesome job!

            Thanks, I know the exhaust wrap etc is not for everyone, but its made out of sheeps wool (which is fire retardant). I like sheep. Baaaaa.baaaaa :-)

                That's pretty cool! Nothing wrong with that as a side track

                  Love the little enduro. I usually do a dirt bike every year. Love the simplicity and fun factor. What year and model is that? Looks like someone punted the oil injection tank. Is that a rotary valved motor? If not then that carb might be in the wrong place lol.

                    Nah, it does have an oil injector tank, just wasn't in place for the photo. It's a 1972 tc90. I've totally stripped and rebuilt it, got it running yesterday.... It's so much fun, can't wait to take it for a proper ride an do some skids!

                          Necropost!

                          Builds like this are blasphemous!!! Video AND sound are needed BEFORE signing off 'The End'.

                          Epic build.

                              It's been a long time since anything happened with this bike. A friend of mine crashed it quite badly at a track day, to the point that he had to buy it off me.
                              it has sat for the last 4 years rotting, but finally, another friend has decided to rebuild it. it now runs, and he is in the process of making it look pretty again.

                              watch this space.

                                This build started and finished before I joined. Awesome build, and sorry to hear of its fate.
                                Cool that its being resurrected.
