So this is my first time rebuilding a motorcycle. I've done some work on a 69' camaro, but not on a bike. So I bought a 1974 TX650 that was big bored to 750 cc of cragslist a couple of months back. It was in pretty good shape but need some work. So I've been working on this bike for a while now but I wanted to share what I have done so far. To start out I did the basic maintenance to a bike that is 40 years old. I cleaned the carbs, adjusted the valves and timing then I tuned the carbs. The guy before me cut the mufflers off so I ordered EMGO shorty mufflers and had to use a pipe reducer to attach them. I also got some black turn signals and a chrome speedo from Dime City. I had to make a mount for the front signals by making a steel rod fit around the reflector mount and threaded the other side for the turn signals. I also made a custom seat out of 16 gauge mild steel, shaped the foam and had it upholstered.
