So, here is my xs750 special, the way it looked when I purchased it for $300.

After a few days of staring at it and figuring out how things are attached and ran, I decided to tear it down and build it back up from scratch.

Today, I broke it down as much as I was comfy with for 1 day.

Here is where it stands now (Minus the handlebars)

Ordered new bars, CB style bars... 5" rise, 3" pull back.

Redid most of the wiring, got rid of the Reserve Lighting unit.

Ordered 1156 LED's for the blinkers and an electronic flasher unit.

Ordered pod air filters to get rid of the box.

Now I need to find a decent seat pan (Mine is rusted through is spots) or a decent seat.

Got the clutch lever adjustment screw, new brake pads (Installed already)

Need new copper washers and am going to do the brakes tomorrow (hopefully)

Pulled the carbs and cleaned them.

Learned a lot so far doing all this. I would've taken more pics, but most of the changes are things that you can't see (yet)
