The story on the 77-78 750  supersports is the valve guides wear early. Do a search if you haven't read up on it. I ride a 76, which is almost the same as a 75, I love it. I prefer the 18 tooth front sprocket to drop the highway RPM a little. The 77 and 78's have factory double front discs, I had to add my second front disc.
