Swiss Toni

Hello & welcome.

Put your measurements up then. I have a stainless jobbie that might fit!

Pipe was an Alpha, seat Guilliari. Both long gone! Wish I'd hung onto the pipe though!

Just the odd electrical gremlin. Nowt to worry about.

Looks great. Big difference from when we first saw it!

Even the std plastic chainguard is hard to come by, nowadays. GS550 might fit. I have a '78 750EC. Had it for about 35 years now. Great bikes! Yours looks in not bad fettle. Won't take much to tidy it up.

Very little (if any) differences between ET (1980) & EX ('81) frames. So yes, footrests from both models are interchangeable. 750 footrests/hangers are different. Chromed pressed steel on those. And ... It's nice to say 'Hello'! Welcome to OSS!

Hello mate! Welcome to the club!

Aye! There's a few hairy arsed sailors aboard here! Whatever you do, if you drop the soap, just leave it where it is!

Ahem ... 'They all do that, Sir!'

Before trying anything drastic, heat is your friend, as is a good fitting screwdriver. If that fails, and you haven't buggered the head up yet, give it regular doses of a good release oil (50/50 Acetone & Transmission fluid is worth trying) over a few days. Then give it another go. And welcome to OSS, by the way!

Just take your time! Use your camera! As Dezza says, those posts the floats pivot on are very delicate. Always support from the other side when taking the pins out. Allens is probably your best source of affordable spares.

It's all over the country now! Frame, Tank, Dymags, Marzocchi forks/Harris yokes, AP Classic brakes & discs, original bodywork ... scattered on the four winds! I almost regret selling it all ... almost!

Welcome in!

Nothing to be worried about. Keep individual parts with the carb they came out of ... particularly the slides. Use plenty carb cleaner ( some types aren't compatible with o rings, so remove them), and compressed air. Things start to get harder if you split the carbs from the rack. If you've an Ultrasonic Cleaner, use it! Get stuck in!

Really nice! These things fascinate me ... in a good way, of course!

Nice one!

My mistook!

Stick a picture up of this puller you've bought!

I think the word's out on that one!

Try the rattle gun with the bike in top, rear brake applied. If the engine's out of the frame ... that complicates things. Then you need something to hold the rotor. If you're using a 3 legged puller, you need to be extra careful it doesn't slip off, and damage the rotor. Better to use the internal thread. I may be wrong, but I'm sure either the swinging arm pin, or rear axle is the same thread as the rotor.

Try this first. Put it into top gear, lock the back wheel and apply the back brake. If that don't work ... your next ad in 'Wanted' will be, 'one plain and one bonded clutch plate' ...

What's that tube with the plug (#42) for?

Hi Ringo! Welcome to OSS! Worked in your neck of the woods many years ago. Great roads!

Agreed! D was also spoke wheels, single disc. DB, spoke wheels, twin disc. EC, cast wheels, triple disc. Can't remember what year the TSCC 750's came in?
