Mate that's awesome... you better go silver tanked, if you're doing it elsinore style..
Them shocks arent standard either....
Gotta love the underslung slider pipe too...

im in the middle of sourcing a vintage myself for restoration, altho i may just settle for a pre85 yet...
good luck with the build mate

Head & barrell are off,

Inlet valve is chewed out nearly pulled through

every thing else looks to be in great condition.

me & my Old man get into the XL's as well, i think he now has over half of Australias XL350 & XL250 74 & 75 models parts & bikes left...

he got over the 350's bored & stroke to 480cc so is now working on XL125's with CRF150 running gear (Rods & Pistons)

 

[Hillz]

PS if any one has a side plate for XR75 let me know, i'm not paying $200 for a set... id rather make one

 

[Cactus Jack]

Make new set out of polished alloy ... I never liked the stock pressed tin crap ...
