tips for putting together a minimalist M750

[brad black]

It doesn't matter that much, just put things into spots where they seem to fit.

that's pretty much it.  don't be afraid to pull it half apart again to do it right should you realise you got it wrong.  as much as it sucks.

i wonder how much wiring you could do without?  it always makes me wonder just how much you could get rid of, probably surprising how much you can't.  without getting a way clever girl involved anyway.

Yep I thought about that for sure. Espec since I don't wanna run a dash. I know what girl you're talking about...I wish I had a fraction of her brain.

There's two you can consult, an Aussie and a Canadian.

Cool thing about this bike is imma feel free to do stuff that would be tacky on a "nice" one. Like the $20 Hedman exhaust tips and straight up rattle can murder of various parts. Truly some Mad Max-esque stuff.

Today was better! I actually just took Spikes advice, haha. I need shock bolts, and I need to swap the pulse coils from my blown engine over. I guess I'll use the Cycle Cat triple.

Can anyone confirm that a 2-1 exhaust system from an SS750 would fit up? I would assume so. Surprised I haven't seen it done before, that system would look cool on a Monster

You don't need a dash anyway. It's just less time spent not looking at the road. I run a mini digital tach for tuning purposes only.

different thru the swingarm, ss goes close to the case where m has a crossmember

Hrrm well I ordered up a set of headers from an 01 SS750 already. Sounds like they'll interfere with the swingarm? I guess we'll see.

[brad black]

yes, i'm pretty sure it won't work.

[Rudemouthsky]

Damn. Well the headers were less than $40 shipped, so for that price maybe they can be mutilated somehow to work. If the swingarm flat out interferes then nothing can be done tho.

Have any of you guys ever made a DIY shift rod/linkage? seems like a threaded rod and 2 rose joints are all there is to it.

Yep, that's all.

You need both a left-hand tap and right-hand.

only if you want to adjust it by just turning the rod.  i'm cheap.

I'll get you one for Christmas.
