I have an ’83 Yamaha Midnight Maxim that is my main ride. I also have a 1980 Honda 750 with a bored 900cc engine taking to 1035cc’s. It’s too fast for me, & I need to sell it. $1950 OBO, or trade for auto trans. 4X4. 724-738-0421 Dave Thompson

: Garden Shed turned Workshop

I don’t have a garage but I do have a rather large garden shed that is bigger,inside, than some bedrooms I’ve had. It should be easy to heat, when I need to but it’ll only hold one bike. The other 79 750 will be going over to my Landlady’s garage which is a big double in which she only uses 1/2 for her new pickup.

: cracked rubbers

First thing I did was remove the rear tire as I soon realized, after seeing all the oil and crud built up everywhere, that I probablly should take it down to the frame for cleaning and repainting. The brake pads are half worn and will be replaced and, as you can see, the rubbers are cracked from hard riding. It’s going to be a big job but I’m planning on buying some new parts for the other 79, ( like handle bar switch housings etc.), that I can swap over to this one. This bikes been left, uncoverd, outside and needs em…

Other 79, on the right, is going 2 B rebuilt now...

I bought the other 79 750 as a parts bike but evrything was there, including title, so I’m going to bring her up to speed also. She’s got more rust but I’m going to do a strip down to the frame on this one. Total investment, so far, $225…

I used the headlight assembly and turn signals for the 79 10th Annv. bike because I removed the Vetter faring. I’ve already stripped down the handle bars and removed back wheel. Valve cover gaskets leaked oil everywhere so I’ve got quite an oily mess to clean up…. more L8R…

My Winter Project

: 1979 HONDA 750 10th Annv. Model

I’ve already eliminated the ugly Vetter faring and luggage rack so this winter I plan on bringing her back up to speed. There is a noise in the engine which worrys me and she needs starter, chain and sprockets etc. Runs fine with a slight hesitation at low end but evens out nice. Had up to 80, no prob. How do I determine what is causeing noise behind ign. plate, left side?
