I did a major tune on my ol' '74 TX last week, and took her out for a ride last night. What a difference! I have completely rekindled my passion for these twins. I have all the parts for my XS750 triple re-fit this winter, but I think it may not get the attention it deserves, due to how much fun my 35 year-old rat is turning out to be. I can see my winter nights being tiddled away on the TX.

Just had to share. J.R.

I know what you mean, JR---I experience it every time I ride the '77! Oh, and if that bike is a "rat" I want one!! Very nice!

I had a 1000 XLCH. Now THAT was vibration. I'll take the 650 any day.
