I love it just as it is. I have a special soft spot in my heart for restored ’75’s.

With the bike in the living room, you look like you should be a member of my family. Its definately not a chopper , but you did a hell of a job. Its nice to know what mine would have looked like when it rolled out of the factory, but now you need to go find another one and hack it up into little pieces and weld or bolt everything laying around the garage to it until it looks like a death-trap and then hit the highway.

Nice restoration. I had one exactly like this, 75 same color and all. chopped it to hell first day i brought it home. But I do like these bikes restored as well, brings back old memories of when I was a kid and wanting one of these bad boys . In this time period, couple of years before ELVIS died, STAR WARS arrived and KISS was the greatest rock & roll band in the world, think I had a little dirt bike RM 125. But seriously you would be surprised how much fun it is to chop one of these little babies up and make something original and your own, no matter what it looks like. ” Once You Hack You’ll Never Go Back” lol

Stunning build, I remember when they were new, always wanted one, could only afford the XS 400 custom though…..
