crusty33 Posted February 4, 2017 Share Posted February 4, 2017 Here are some pics of my old 750 sleeper, I believe the motor swap was originally done by an OSS member in Leeds? I got it off Chris (Bikemad) about 12? yrs ago. Now the motor was a fantastic short stroke 750 that went like stink and was fitted in really well (Tank notched to clear carbs and fairings trimmed iirc) The only downside was it handled like a demented tea trolley!! Original 16" skinny wheel, crappy brakes and the shock was knackered to boot! I managed to get a complete rwu slingy front end for a good price from an OSS member who ran a shop in Chorley (sorry can't remember his name, but a really nice guy!) I decided not to go usd as I wanted to keep the subtle 'factory/sleeper' look it had. I mated up a bandit 6 rear in to suit and then simply rode the shit out of it!! Must say, it was one of the nicest specials I'd ridden and never failed to put a smile on my face Anyway, enough drivel, have a gander at some pics . . . Quote Link to comment
crusty33 Posted February 4, 2017 Author Share Posted February 4, 2017 Oh! And excuse the state of the chain!! it'd been stood a while before I took the pics! Quote Link to comment
crusty33 Posted February 4, 2017 Author Share Posted February 4, 2017 I saw it pop up a few times on Eblag, with a couple of minor changes, then last I knew of it, it'd been painted black, had no fairing and someone had fitted a massive seat Quote Link to comment

Noctem Posted February 22, 2017 Share Posted February 22, 2017 Sweet ride. May i ask what fork and swingarm you used? And how you made the rear suspension fit? Quote Link to comment
Spamwood Posted February 23, 2017 Share Posted February 23, 2017 A similar one poped up on Eblag last year, it had a power screen 1100 motor in it, it looked really well built. 1 Quote Link to comment
Motovalet Posted March 4, 2017 Share Posted March 4, 2017 My old bike! 750J motor, JMC arm, Bandit running gear, was like this when 1st built! Should never have sold it! Sounds like somebody shoved the shitty old running gear back in then at some point?? Looking for another decent 750ES right now, have the motor and running gear already to go in :-) 5 Quote Link to comment

Looking for another decent 750ES right now, have the motor and running gear already to go in :-) You got the bike after me mate, it had the original gear on from the first incarnation and i upgraded the running gear. I remember seeing it on Eblag with all the valet stickers and different seat etc on it a couple of years after I sold it. You're right though, it really was a sweet bike that shouldn't have been sold! Be good to see pics as your new ES progresses. Quote Link to comment

Complete front end was from a gsxr 750 J/K and almost bolted straight up, just made a spacer to take up the slack. Ther rear was a JMC to suit the 750ES, had to turn up new spacers in order to fit in the B6 rim, it was about 5mm off centre iirc in order to allow chain clearance. Quote Link to comment
