to the forum. Nice redo, your work shows well. I 2 like the wheels in black. If I could, maybe a little high temp paint on that exhaust and It'll take ya out to dinner. Probably me but I couldn't download your before pic.

The paint on the wheels is satin black Dupli-Color High Performance Wheel Paint, for anyone who wanted to know! It holds up incredibly well! DONT use primer, clean your rims really well, and make sure to let it cure for 2 days or so, and the stuff will last forever!  |

Welcome to the group - ride safe
The blacked out gauges are a nice touch.

Thank you! Youre the first person to notice the gauges, I was waiting for someone to notice the lack of plasti-chrome on them haha! Btw, BEAUTIFUL bike! I love the blacked out engine on the later Nighthawks |

Good Lord I'm old...a '91 needs restoration?!?! I thought that was for a 1976 XS650, or a first-year Goldwing....
It looks really good, but heck my '92 was the nicest all-original bike I had for a long time.....

I don't think I'd call it a restoration but it looks real good regardless.
Enjoy and ride safe.

She was rode hard and put away wet lol, and she is 20 years old and lived outside, she wasnt garage kept. And had been layed down pretty hard on the right side.  Needed quite a bit of bodywork on the tank, a full paint job, And the seat re-done, as well as lots and lots of other smaller things. I guess it wasnt what one would call a FULL restoration, just a thorough freshening up, I put about $600 and 120 or so hours of work into her to get her to where she is now. I did every bit of the work myself. But now she's back to near new condition and personalized to my liking!  |

to the forum! That bike looks great, I also love the blacked out wheels. Did you paint or powdercoat them? Either way, that's one spiffy looking 750, take care of it and ride safe!

Even if it's not a restoration, can we still call Jenn "old"?  Misery loves company.  |

Looks better than my bike. I am in the process of repainting everything, including the engine, wheels, header pipes that are discolored.
