That's Gary's work isn't it ? Very nice indeed ! As you are in the UK, you might be interested in these for your instrument console. you can also get them via Reproduction Decals. 8)

I have now, bought a gt75j, (1972) and put all my time and money, into that, plus a new workshop build, not had much time to jump on the 75L, but moving into the workshop as we speak, and should get the engine cases polished, back on the engine, and then, back in the bike. I have all the parts to finish it off, but just no time. But when i get close, i will post on here. And forgot, the switch refurbishing service too! :up:

Not been working on the 75j, as had to put up a 6ft fence, For extra security, as I have built a large workshop, with some nice bikes, and want to try and keep people out. Also been putting in some insulation in the roof, to get it worm over the winter. Got my log burner working fine, but no good if you don't keep the cold out. Got the blast cabinet up and running now, so I can do the switch body's quicker now, and hope to get back to finishing the 750j off, and then jump back on the 750L. Watch this space..... Quick question.. What does. ... Switch refurbishing tool mean? :?
