Hi all,
I've been watching and reading the posts for a few years now and finally decided to join the forum. I bought a 1988 750 Sport about two years ago with 60,000 km on the clock. Got it for $6000 (AU) with some spares - fuel tank, speedo cable, original pipes, 888 race pipes and a two-into-one exhaust system. I'm quite sure that it's been raced! The Webers seem to have been jetted for the 2-into-1 and it's definitely a race pipe. Runs quite rich under 4K, but fantastic over 6K. Did the 17" conversion over the summer using wheels off what I think was a late 90s Monster (single front disc). Rear went straight on, front was slightly different story. Already had the M1R forks with which I'm quite happy. Front was not as drastic as I first imagined. Made bushings/spacers to centre the wheel using stainless steel, and made a simple yet effective speedo adapter from aluminium. Here are a couple of pics. I'll post more info on modifications in the future if anyone is interested.
Cheers,
Alf
