i hope i'll did give you enough info about me if i didnt ask me thanks.

greetings willem :lol:

 

Welcome, I hope you'll be inspecting & replacing the brakes too before riding? Especially the rear drum brake as the linings can separate & jam the wheel. There's links in my signature below with pictures

Don't forget to let us know how you get on with those pod filters too (and don't throw away the airbox just yet!), a lot of people have a hell of a fight to get these things to run correctly with pods

 

Welcome!!

Would you be the same Willem that's on the xs400 forum?

Looking forward to how the bike turns out!

Jealous of the speedo you guys got, the U.S 550's (and others too, my 750 included) came with speedo's with max's of 85mph (~137kmh)

Keep up the work!

 

Oh yeah, that's a 200kmh speedo isn't it... Thought I was doing good with 180 lol

Also, those bars are cool too.

 

Holland has some nice roads for riding along with the countryside.Welcome to the party.I wish my 82 750 j had analog fuel and volts meter I have always loved the "look" and nostagia of them.

 

pods, pods pods. have them on my bike.change your jets and move on

 

Welcome Willem. I have some vivid memories of a visit to your homeland to see the Moto GP at Assen in '95 or '96. I found the Dutch to be very friendly and very TALL.
