IS it realistic to do a top end (valves, rings) overhaul IN-Frame.  Rather not pull engine if can get around it.

On a 500/550 yes, not on a 750 without the installation of a frame kit.

"Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of it's victim may be the most oppressive. It may be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated, but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience." - C.S. Lewis

Not sure why you dont want to pull the motor, but it's really not that big a deal  [I just did one on a 750].

It will be so much easier to give it a proper cleaning and paint job.
