Bars are half inch longer each end and offer even more protection for the mirrors and tank in a fall.

The K&N barrel filters and bags that protect them. The code for the bags which will also cover RU 1750's

Thanks to Speeddog for putting me onto the K&N site that lets you select parts by dimension, code and model. Bloody handy.

One of the last pieces of the puzzle. Picked up some cheap spare forks for this model M750 (Marzocchi 40mm). I can now take them to my suspension guy and have a discussion about what's possible. I'm now looking for a Sachs shock to do the same.

The primary issue with the Sachs is the seal head, AFAIK there are no replacements.
However, you are on the other side of the planet, and near New Zealand where I suspect some guy is making new seal heads out of thin air.

Spare set of manky Marzocchis are with Dave at Kroozetune. They will refurbish and tune the forks for my 200lbs, broken tarmac/dirt/wet roads spec and reckon they should be able to get another 10-20mm travel out of them.

A start towards engine protection. The modified bashplate will be a major operation as me mate doesn't do things by halves.

Fitted adjustable Brembo levers and some spare Napoleon mirrors. The higher and plush dual touring seat will also stay for solo duties. The bike is getting functionally uglier
. More pics soon.
The rare and valuable DP mirrors were cleaned , bubble wrapped and put away with the spares.

Update.
Riding this quite a lot and use it on regular rides with the GLW. Fun bike.
Reset rear ride height to low stock posn and raised the front to the max, adding faux rake. No adverse handling on tarmac testing to my surprise. Not as beautifully planted as it was, but still fine. There may have been work done as they feel too good for base Marzocchis. I pushed the Marzocchi's thru the triples to get another 25mm front ride height so the caps were flush to the triple face. That will do until my modified forks are ready.
Had some old Staintune pipes so fitted them for better ground clearance, less weight and a cleaner look. The Staintunes are not Termi light, but lighter than the carbon Remus pipes I removed. The Remus pipes must be carbon skinned stainless as they were heavy for an aftermarket exhaust.
Fitted a slow action throttle for more control on dirt roads. The bike came with a quick action throttle and light flywheel fitted, the combination made for touchy low speed inputs. The motor is otherwise stock but for the intake so its still pretty tame.
Pics to follow.

Ride through the local valley and ranges today on busted up paved back roads, gravel farm roads and packed dirt and clay forest roads. Really enjoying this bike and the different skill acquisition required. The bikes agility on winding clay mountain roads was excellent and a comfort to this bitumen bred rider. And I'll say it again, what a fun little motor. The revs are so eager spinning up with urgency and exhaust note sounding so powerful, but then you look down at the speedo and see you are under the speed limit
. The 750 is the Chicken Hawk to the 900's Foghorn Leghorn.
So much fun.

Rizoma risers not only allow a tapered bar, but aid comfort as do the gel grips. Knarly fingers and bone spurs in the palm heels need the comfort nowdays.

Went back to the Mickey Mouse mirrors and will sell off the Napoleon TV screens. Trimmed the extra inch off each end of the oem Ducati Scrambler bars (lucky ebay score). All to do with ergos and comfort. The raised front ride height came from the forks being pushed through the triples to the max, so I fitted an extended side stand.
