Yamaha XS 750

  Important Announcement

THIS IS NOT!!!! THE ORIGINAL RATBIKE.ORG, BUT AN ARCHIVE FOR THOSE WHO CAN'T LIVE WITHOUT IT.

Matt black Yamaha XS 750 triple
Here is my '77 Yamaha XS750 "RaTriple". It is mostly stock, except for a Mac exhaust with a $19 RedHots glasspack car muffler painted with BBQ paint (someone stole my original muffler work one day, this sounds better anyway), some cheapo pod air filters, crankcase breather from a '78, and an electronic ignition system from another '78 hacked together with bits of wire.
It was in pretty good shape cosmetically when I originally got it in 2000 from a friend of mine (the original owner) for $1 after it sat in his shed for almost 10 years. It's current look comes naturally, from a combination of being left outside uncovered for several years, oil leaks, lack of washing, and year-round riding for a while.
