Hey All, Just wanted to say hi! I picked up my first Yamaha (1978 XS750) this weekend, and I think its going to be a real (fun!) project. I'd been debating the merits of the XS750s vs the (Honda) CB750s for a month prior to buying this bike without coming to any overwhelming conclusions, but the price on this particular bike ($300) steered me toward the XS. There are (at least) evident electric (harness) and aesthetic issues, but I'm excited and can't wait to get to work turning her into a budget cafe. This will be my first, and I'm hoping to do a serviceable job with another $1,700 (for a total of 2G). Quick observation: in the 24 hours since I actually came home with the bike, I've been amazed with how many more readily available (online) cafe parts there are for the CB750 than the XS750. I can't wait to search around this forum to see how other Yamaha owners approached their cafe projects. If you have advice, I'll love it! Anyway, just wanted to say hi and let you all know that I am excited to own this bike and to have found this forum! Pics to come soon... Texas (Dallas)

I'm new here and figured I would show off the latest bike that was given to me. A '76 XS750. It came off a reserve in saskatchewan and shows alot of weird/stupid fixes. Let me know what you think, any ideas of which way I should take it. I'm stumped for now and thank god winter is coming.
