Well, after a few months of workin on the TX on and off, I finally have had it back on the road, but not without issue, sort of…
My work list was as follows:
- New Brakes
- New points and ignition repair
- Body work and paint
- Handlebar change
- Wiring repairs
- buffing and polishing
- General reapirs
I had it out for a couple of rides and put about 75 miles on it before it decided to stop running on one cyclinder. Of course this happened the night before I was going to ride it up to the Ponoka Vintage Motorcycle Rally. I guess better then than on the ride up to Ponoka…
Anyway here are a few photos of the work:

Nice photos… thopugh one really was not the same as the others.
Good work on the bike, and here I was thinking you abandoned the project
Cheers
I just acquired a 73 TX750 and was wondering about the seat you have, did you make it yourself or buy it somewhere?
I had the original seat recovered at an apholstery shop here in Calgary.
Are you Mike Dommer, as in Gary Gleaves buddy?

i like body paints because it could be used to portray art using your own body-“
body paints are quite nice when you are out on a pool party or just about any party –`
I’m impressed by your writing. Are you a professional or just very knwolegdeable?
