    Because of a medical condition all the bikes are parked, waiting for the spring season. The Midnight is in the same stage like last year, i didn't find the parts i need for the engine, 750 cc engine is like unicorn, here in east europe... maybe a swap with 900 cc?

    I just made a bargain, some parts from a XJ900F, full exhaust, complete handlebars & and upper yoke, brake pump, clutch lever and turning signals (+ complete fairings for other project, XJ900) all these parts at of cost of approximative 200$.
    The exhaust ends will be shortened, to fit on the bike, upper yoke will be swapped and i'll put the XJ900 yoke & handlebars.
    And, due to ''lockdown'', small works at my Maxim X, some electrical issues.

    The exhaust system will be sandblasted and painted in black, the handlebars will be slightly modified to be more wide by adding some extra parts, 5-8 cm on each end.
