Yamaha 750 triple engine only- complete with shifter, kick start lever and c.d.i. My niece saved it from the crusher at the wreckers. Probably needs second gear. Let me know if ya' want it. You haul. CHEERS.

I think Roy had a 750 (or was it an 850?) up at his place for sale - it looked perfectly saveable; get the matched set!

If no one "needs" it i wouldnt mind having it. Its a start to my bike project. thanks in advance

Call me at 596-5414. My name is Wayne. Cheers.

Jensen? My deck and driveway are shoveled whenever you want it. It's sitting outside, so sooner would be better, CHEERS.
-
Jensen and I loaded it into his truck and it has found it's new home. CHEERS.

I have to confess that when Brandan Jensen said he wanted to build a bike from an xs750 I tried to dissuade him. They are not common platforms for custom bikes. However, he came by the shop and showed me his new prize. We spent some time leafing through old Back Street Heroes magazines (UK publication) looking for photos of shaft drive choppers and bobbers. The Brits chop everything. We didn't find as many as hoped, but he is off to search the Web for inspiration. I know from my own experience with the GS650 that there are many shaft driven custom fabbed bikes out there. I kinda like this one.

He already has some cool ideas from his car craft days. Rather than trying to find a triple bank of Mikunis, he is thinking of making a three into one manifold and running a single carb. His imagination is churning which is what bike building is all about.
Fast One, did you say Honest Roy has a frame? I can help get it registered if Brandan can scoop it. A stock frame certainly helps with engine mounting, fork fitment, rear wheel drive, and most importantly, getting it registered without having to go through the whole inspection torture.
Peace & Grease, Dennis

It was Rusty who first mentioned it. Have not been to Roy's in years--he no longer has anything I want and this way we don't have those awkward conversations where he asks me to fix things and I say no. CHEERS.
