Re: Rebuilding an F750
I ordered tires this week so soon it will be easier to roll around.

Re: Rebuilding an F750
We temporarily put the carbs and tank on for fit checks, all looks good. We have a set of 38mm stainless headers that fit good too.
We evaluated the full fairing we have that was still in the mold...its pretty rough and will need a lot of work. The very first of the bikes actually had a small half fairing similar to a Norton or Ducati so we are thinking of going in that direction. Plus the engine is looking so nice it seems a shame to cover it up.

Re: Rebuilding an F750
Finally got a rear tire that fits (Mitas 130/70). Not sure how well it will perform, but gotta be better than what was available 50 years ago. I do have a set on my Grom and really like them so should be fine for starters. Shocks also came in and are installed.

Re: Rebuilding an F750
I ask because I have some Mikuni TM38s on an R100s build. I had used a reducing rubber tube to b/c the OD of the Mikuni is smaller than that of the stock intake tube on the head. But, then the carbs would dance around because the tube moves around when the engine runs. I recently found a set of aftermarket manifolds with the same OD as the Mikunis so I could use a solid tube without any reducer, but have yet to install them.
Here's the current setup with the reducer.
