Thanks Kev, your feedback during this build has been much appreciated :) The painter says that the pics don't near highlight the amount flake that's in the colours.
I do realise that this isn't everyone's cup of tea, but I don't really care either as I'm too old to be seeking approval :)

The next project is a 1975 TS400, and after that I'm going to do another GT750..........And again with a different paint scheme.

Did you guys get the Apache in the UK? The pic below is what mine looked like when I first saw it on Gumtree where it had been parked for 30 years :( Pics under that is when I got it home and cleaned it up a bit.
It's mostly there but I'll need to source some gear. They're thin on the ground here and can be hard to get parts for :(

A '76 I hammered on in the late '70's and early 80's, Looking back I just want to slap myself sometimes :(

Here's one that I restored a long time ago, when parts were a LOT cheaper than they are now................

is that an after market long range tank on yours? Doesn't look like a TS400 tank.

Sunbury in VIC or is there one in new Sarf as well?

That is one amazing transformation. Well done.

The Apache would look nice with a modern pipe and would absolutely rip. I rode a mate's Ossa for a few months when they took my car license back when they forgot to ask if I had a bike license as well. On/Off road was a blast. One of my sons ran a few different XRs over the years too. same on road-off road shenanigans. :roll:
