I have the wiring parts and the schematics are slimmed down for a bobber, but just haven't had any time to spare. I've been working on a XS650 ADV bike that a local magazine is cronicalling. Between trying to keep updates for that, pulling in a new inventory system for the shop (PITA) and a briken collar bone this summer time has been hard to come by.

The TX will get done over the winter though

Glad it was a collar bone, not a cranium.

Here's mine. I really enjoy riding this bike, smooth torquey engine. Not something people see everyday.

Welcome! Dammit lad, give us more details! The exhaust ports.. crossover ditched, welded and tapped for studs? Twin disc, you in Europe? Or did you convert it? More images please

appiebroomer · 02-09-2013, 05:51 PM

Homemade pipes, crossover eliminated, removed a heat source.
Converted to dual discs using ZX6R master cylinder, stops real good now.
From Sarnia Ontario Canada.

The TX750 was my 16YO Hooligan bike, GREAT wheelies, did the ton every damn time I got on it, first encounter(s) with State Police, etc. I found a neglected one at auction 3 years ago, everyone sneered and scoffed when I was the only bidder. But she's back to being reasonably presentable now.

Thats cool too.

Concours, if yours is a 73 , looks like you have the oil cooler and deep sump upgrade. I believe the 74 had those mods done at the factory.
Did you repaint yours or is that original paint ?
