OK if anyone is really bored you could play "spot the difference". You just have to say which components (unaltered) could have rolled out of the factory back in 1994 when the original bike was made.
To make it easier working loosley front to rear, component:-
A. (1 off) Headlight rim
B. (1 off) Twist grip
C. (2 off) Side Panels
D. (1 off) Gear shift pedal
E. (1 off) Rocker
F. (1 off) Hoop
G. (1 off) Swinging arm
H. (2 off) Spindle carriers
I. (2 off) S/a end caps
J. (1 off) Cush drive hub
K. (1 off) Tail light
L. (1 off) Number plate light Note components E to I all interconnect.

OK you can't actually see both sides, so I'll give you D which the gear shift pedal that only leaves J on the other side.

Oh good game, good game.

I can't really match bits to your list, so I'll just list the bits I think could be original.

Complete headlamp
Top and bottom yokes
Horn
Tank
Seat
Side panels
Tail light
(tea tray, not sure?)
Frame
Hoop
Rocker
Swinging arm
Hugger
Rear axle and nuts
Rear caliper
Rear disc
Footrest hangers, footrests and foot controls. (something a bit odd about the footrest hanger.. Can't put my finger on it?)
Possibly original ally sidestand?

Bike looking good btw..

Rear brake master cylinder has moved and changed from standard fitment on footrest hanger.

Did you manage to keep the original Bologna air when you swapped out the wheels and tyres Bitza?

Did you change the rear caliper when you made it “floating”, or just paint it grey to match the new fronts?

Possibly this game is more niche than good. Obviously I did over look a couple of components along the way, like the plastic shroud for the ign switch so forgive me that. So on to the marking, see my edited post above, the rear disc & horn I forgot. Which by my scoring system gives Mr Gazza 8/12, so Gary pretty good but "could have done better". The bits you got most wrong were, yolks SS, tank cut & weld for fuel pump, seat cut for comfort & battery. The footrest brackets have been reworked to rear-set rider pegs hence master cylinder rotation.

Darkness the rear caliper is the slightly later type (P35 maybe?) with the banjo/nipple on the side. We get Bologna air on tap here in Wales, so that's not an issue.

I would also like to thank Stopintime for his comment it's a real complement mate, because a crucial idea behind of this kind of Custom job is to try and keep the bike looking as ordinary as is practical/possible.

One of my old blue 750, the pictures used to be on photobucket until that went mad.



only 4000 miles since I sold it in 2011, MoT'd virtually every year though, I wonder where it is now?

It's been a long time since I posted a pic . Not them most exciting, a MOT today all good and a quick 35 mile spin . Only 1,036 miles last year, although I do have two other bikes . Here's hoping to some rides and meet ups now things are slowly getting back to normal .
