This is stock except for the following:
- steel braided brake hoses
- Givi Luggage
- wind screen
I bought her in 1990 with 5,000km. It now (Sep 2011) has about 24,500km with 2k of that this year after 0k last year and a bunch of TLC this summer.

I like the look of the "S" model with the full givi set up. I don't recall seeing another like that.

Welcome NighthawkMax Where are you located? As soon as I saw the post title, I was immediately thinking "Canada". You don't see too many '85 750s elsewhere. Max! Love the touring setup. That windshield mod looks great. |

I was thinking the same thing too. Just wondering if he is in my neck of the woods? |

Thanks everyone for the "Welcome's" and the comments. Canada would be correct, Edmonton Alberta to be more accurate. That was a trip last (cold) weekend to Saskatchewan River Crossing that some riders called "ambitious" for a day trip.
Ahh the windscreen "mod". Yes that's a story unto itself. Let me just say briefly that in this same location about a month previous my buddies CBR's (you can see a bit of it in the pic) battery died. In the process of getting his bike going a gale force wind came out of the mountains and caught my open trunk and windscreen and pushed the bike off of the kick stand. The damage was a broken clutch handle and the lower 1/4 of the screen breaking off.
The "mod" is my smoothing of the broken side and the amputation of the good side, a somewhat rough job at that. A few hours of re-working the attachement to the bike and I was ready to go. This picture was the new screen's maiden voyage and it survived rain, hail, (did I mention cold), and top speeds of 130-140km (sorry mr officer sir).
It worked nicely to keep some of the cold away and, well, the 4 bugs that ventured that day.
