If you use the correct cleaning solution formulated for cleaning aluminum like OmegaClean you will have no problems with surface corrosion. Ultrasonic cleans by having transducers send a signal/waves through the cleaning solution causing cavitation which is like thusands of tiny air bubbles...

+1 on dirtdigger's comments. I've seen bargain basement cages with simple clubman bars, aftermarket pipes, and homemade cafe style seats done on the cheap. Unfortunately they look like what was spent on them. As DD pointed out if you are crafty, and a bargain hunter you can find or fab your way...

Welcome Rich Welcome! Glad to hear your not lurking anymore! Let us know when you get those pieces together

Welcome to the site and good work on your project to date. How's it riding? Are you running without air filters/pods? Can't tell from the angle of the pics. Can't get away with that here with all the dirt roads!

+1 on haulbikes, they picked up a '73 750 I sold last week and were by far the most professional shippers I have ever worked with! Bike was strapped and secured properly, the driver really knew his stuff and his rig was professionally equipped. +1 @ dirtdigger suggestion to move on, stay...

Y not??? In again

So I guess telling Travis his opinion and comments were "unreliable" would not be considered trashing or offensive but in fact "realistic and factual". Funny how interpretation works! Opinion is not always the ", whenever anyone brings up that argument to support their opinions I remember a...

I think you have a great start to what should be a great restoration, looks like a solid foundation. That being said the description in the eBay listing was minimal at best lacking any mechanical specifics on routine maintenance, what parts have been replaced due to age. No mention of...

Coincidentally just did one yesterday, because I was thinking the same thing (my unit seemed to be taking longer to clean). After 30 seconds the tin file looked like it had been shot by thousands of tiny bbs, lots of bumps and waves throughout the whole length of the sheet. I recently discussed...

Travis, The Berryman's attacks the heavy surface contaminants and the ultrasonic gets the internals and jets, while cleaning up anything left behind. But the key to the two step process is that you don't burn thru your ultrasonic solution nearly as quickly as if you just throw the dirty carbs...

I probably do 2-3 dozen carbs per year, mostly twins , 350s 450s,etc and 750s. Here's our drill and hope it works for you. Completely, and I mean down to the last o-ring and gasket, disassemble each carb, taking special car to remove all rubber parts. Soak in Berryman's Chem Tool, 5 gallon "Pro"...

I'm sure many more would be interested if a build spec sheet itemizing the engine work and mechanical done on the bike. A price wouldn't hurt either. Paint and finish work on bike speak for themselves. Not trying to be critical just think more detail information on the bike would help it sell.

Need left side battery cover, how much Steve

Glad to hear you got it running Sounds like you figured it out, service manual and microfiche don't differentiate metal vs plastic so hard to tell but looks like its in the right place. Pics of the wifey on saddle, sounds good:thumbsup:
