The XS750 ready for primer. Interesting side decal placement. The dark blue of the tank is actually paint, surrounded by the stickers. The paint matches closely to a 2014 Ford Excursion deep blue. Thanks for the excellent work Mark Tomlinson of MarksXS650!

Breakdown on the ‘76 XS750 continues. Takes awhile to catalog (I.e. put in ziploc bags, all the bolts, screws, nuts, misc. small pieces so I can find and apply them quickly during assembly). 2 valves per cylinder simplifies things a little.
