1977 GT750
Had it out for a test ride around the block last night - all felt fine. There are a few 'finishing' touches still to be done (seat trim, reflectors, labels etc.), but I'm happy with how it has turned out. Just need to get a plate for it - may get in a few rides before the snow !

Looks GREAT Ian!
If ANYONE can get the smallest details correct it will be you...
I love the look of the B models BUT to me it always looked like they forgot to paint the sidecovers...

Re: 1977 GT750
Thanks Cliff - yours is actually in better shape than mine was before I started ! A bit of compound, some polish and yours should buff up just fine !Cliff wrote:Trade you for mine!!
And thank you to others who commented - with a bit of luck, I may be able to get a few more miles on it before the snow flies, and then it will be up for sale next summer. I have already started the next rebuild - a 1972 J. It's a hobby ..........

Not that many actually - about 6 in total, but not all were GT750's. We have long winters up here ...jabcb wrote: How many of these beauties how you turned out so far?
