Slabside with a cable operated clutch???

[Bobby]

Seen this on the world famous online market place and it ended the other day, I didn’t end up winning it anyhow I noticed that it has a cable operating clutch- never seen this before on a slab side so curious to be honest as I did actually try and win the bike 

 

The bike in question is listed as a 1987 750

Any thoughts?

It's got a later 750 engine fitted. If the seller knew this and was not up-front about it, then he/she was being 'economical-with-the-truth.'

Got the later carbs on it as well, from what I can see in the pictures you've posted, it's nowhere near a standard bike.

While were on the subject Is there much difference - which one is the better motor if any? For future reference

'88/'89 has a shorter stroke, is more peaky than the earlier and later oilcooled 750's. The heads are worth a lot of money because of the larger valves. People put them on 1100 lumps to raise compression.

Valves are the same diameter as other 750 and 1100s, stems are longer though.
