I love these older bike restorations!
I just acquired a 1972 Yamaha DT360 with 2000 original miles on it that has been in storage for 25years.
I will be doing a frame off Restoration, but I will be keeping it all original.
Keep up the great videos

Thanks!

[@ryandickinson2091]

Very cool project! Look forward to seeing it completed

[@trailtrashgarage]

You and me both!

I have a 82 750 twin LTD, had it licensed last year and new tires and such, very fun bike

[@trailtrashgarage]

The 750 Twins are very rare here. Id like to get my hands on one!

[@leongraef2973]

Im also working on a scrambler project with a 440 ltd from 81. Great Video

[@trailtrashgarage]

Thanks! Good Luck with your Project!

[@iteststuff1197]

I have this bike currently, not the one in this video but the style. It's my first bike ever so this video was really cool to watch you know. See somebody that knows what they're doing. Work on a bike😂

[@trailtrashgarage]

Thanks....

[@Hutchie2112]

Oh boy. I've ridden one of those.
Got a 1983 gs(x)750L sitting parked , unchopped, with 24000 miles on it. Was running till I fell ill some years ago, so it's sat for about 7 years now. Shame I can't post it to you guys to play with.

[@trailtrashgarage]

Yes a Shame Hutchie! You could always start playing with it yourself? ;)

[@Hutchie2112]

​@@trailtrashgarage sadly I've not got a garage to work on bikes now, and the old 750 is parked at my sister's place, 80 miles away. I should take a week and just go and tidy it up I suppose :)
