I did the same swap. You'll need a 1.5 " to 1.75 " adapter to mate up the old pipe to the Harley exhaust. I cut mine just back where the old...
There is actually several sites with info on the 73/74 Yamaha TX750 if you do a little digging on the web. In many ways it was way ahead of its...
I'm curious about the thread ptich. Wouldn't that mean the carbs ( at least in the pilot jet area) would be different. I'm not sure how they...

Update. After a few short rides and keeping track of the plug colour, I've noticed that the plugs are too light in colour. I don't know if this...
