Just wanted to say Hello, ( from across the pond uk ) and show you Some picture's of One, of my all time favourite bikes. I Bought it on ebay, as an unfinished, none running project.

When i bought it there was no paper work, and was told, that the engine had been rebuilt, I had it tested in a buddy's test bike, and it's very good. There's a lot of good info on this site, and look forword to talking to you guy's. Some photo's of where i an right now!

Any updates on this build.

[kettle kid]

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!

[old racer]

Good to hear your still on it,I picked up a 74L model last year,Looking at using it this summer and restore it for next year,Is the 72 complete,

Switch refurbishing service tool.

[kettle kid]

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?
