Hi there. Purchased a sorry looking M750 a few months ago and have been

thought you guys might like to see some before and after pics.

list of work done:

tail chopped (literally - hacksaw job through frame)
rear indicators removed
rear brake replaced with LED
K&N filter
heated grips (they are roasting!)
carbon bar ends
carbon twin headlights
hanger arms stripped crap black paint off, wire brushed off corrosion and painted silver
engine stripped, corrosion wire brushed off and painted black metallic
plastic cam covers replaced with polished aluminium ones
bar end mirrors replaced with real ones
t-cut/touched up/polished/waxed
whew.

You've done a damn fine job there. Are you going to add the white stripe to the front fender as well?

Also, what's the circular piece attached to the headlight assembly? Beam angle measurement tool?

Looking good, next the pipes need to be cut back, they look too long now you have cut the beer tray off.

That circular piece is their tax disc, or rego label, where in usa it gets put on your number plate.

yeh tax disc. has to go somewhere.

i like the pipes as they are though. I think that's me all done mod wise.

I did change both levers to adjustables too which made it more ridable for me.

course all of this is just in time for winter and it to spend the next 3 months mainly in the garage.... hey ho  Sad

UK tax disc - need a new one every 6 or 12 months depending on how much you can afford at the time.

Technically supposed to be displayed on the front left I beleive - sometimes stolen and some folk keep them under their seats for this reason. Strange requirement in an era of computers and all that to have to bolt a piece of paper onto your bike.
