Memories, Thanks to the drive train being off center, The bike looked totally different from the left or right side. I much prefer the leftside, showing off the awesome looking drive shaft, sweet. Great camera work. Beautiful bike. Congrats.

Bike looks factory fresh man. I wish I could shine mine up, mine doesnt have near as much chrome (which I prefer that way) but Iv tried so hard to get my rims clean but I think they are hopeless. And my exhaust headers as well, I think they are all burned up and hopeless. I tried to polish them up but no luck. They need to be replaced anyway, one is leaking completely.
is this a triple? I have a black one nearly exactly the same, not quite as shiny and in need of a new seat cover and exhausts, the pipes are still good but the ends are completely burned out (which makes it sound awesome but it doesn't look the best =D)
Well it didn't take long at all.,.,Within a couple of days I had most of it done.,.,I used a "Mothers mini polishing ball" it works Great well worth the $20.00 also I used dry-wash-n-gaurd metal polish that stuff is the BEST~! hands down~!
DUDE! My deepest respects to what you did to this collectible bike and the entire bike ir OROGINAL!! I'm so gealous!!. My engine looks good but not even close to yours. I bought mine 3 months ago for $350 but didn't run al all with brakes shot. I also spent I spent 1 GRAND to fix mine plus I had it painted at Yamaha. Just so you know, your bike is worth close to $4,000.00 EASY! An ok looking one 1979 (must run 100%) is worth between $1,400.00 to $2,300.00
@formaset My 76 750 was sitting for almost 10 years engine seized up and carbs fucked and I only spent about $30 to get it running :). Granted its still not running smoothly.

When I first started I used very fine wet sand paper like 400 to 600 grit.,.,then I hit it with very fine steel wool then I used dri-wash-n-gard metal polish to finish it all off and now the case shines like chrome.
Thats looks great! I just got a xs750 for 100 bucks, but it wasn't in as good of condition as yours. What type of metal polish did you use, and how expensive was it? that really turned out nice. I was worried mine wouldn't shine up but after seeing this i'm a lot more confident. Great video, man.

Ahhhh now way? How did you get this for $600?
I have a Triumph Triple, one thing about most of my bikes is they have strong or different sorts of engines.
