Just recently got a 78 750 special and I’ve got an oil leak coming from what seems to be the tach cable on the valve cover. I cant really seem to find anything to help get the right seals for it. Any help is appreciated, thanks!
This is a custom rear wheel set up that I had a shop put together to put on my xs750 but I think the project is more trouble than it's worth.
I do also have the drum brake set up with rear axle nut.
Testing out the waters for right now

I've been trying research a front end (preferably HD for the variety of wheels and brakes) to retrofit onto my 79 triple.
The attachment below is from a guy out of Indonesia that has a 79 triple as well and his build is exactly what I had in my head. I was just to hurr durr to spit it out on...
Hey y'all,
So I've heard that pod filters aren't really that good to use on the 750s and I found a guy that made a custom air box on his build and I was wondering if anyone and identify what material/tubing do you think he used to fab it.

I can now remove as much rust as possible through Electrolysis, which is using water and electricity. It's a 1-3 day process depending on how well you want it done. It can take up to 5 days, really depending on how bad it is inside. I can only do one tank at a time for now, until I'm able to get...
I'd like to preemptively apologize for this being about an XS750. I was a member of the Yamaha Triples forum, but after a slight break from the forum my account is no longer active (or something), the account recovery process kicks back with an error message and no admin email is to be found...
Hey everyone I have to admit that lately I have been considering going for a 750 triple instead of the 650 simply because a nice example of the triple can be had for less than a nice 650. Anyone out there had the experience of owning both? What can be expected in terms of reliability/parts...
