I have decided to start a thread for my 1971 rebuild. Its been many years since I worked on a 750, so I might have some questions. I have been reading the forum and there is so much to know. I promise I will search first. It's great. I am not sure how I am going to build this bike yet. I do know that there are some things I must do right at the beginning though like getting the cases to Matt for the breather mod. I have been reading about the side stands and learned that the 71 stands are bad news because they are pinned and can fall to bits. I looked at mine it it is not pinned and not like a 72 onward type. Please have a look at these pics of my stand and let me know if I should grind it out and put a later one in. The one I have looks ok to me. Perhaps I will "through bolt" it.
When I restore I always forget to take good before pics. This time I took a few, see below.
There are a few parts missing as you can see, but in general its not that bad for $800. I have not tried to turn the motor yet (still soaking). This is going to be a fun project. I expect it will take a while, which is cool as I ride my MK3 all the time.
Per the other registration thread that I started, I was able to get the bike completely registered with a Bill of Sale and an Inspection. So time to take it apart- cheers
