I've got a 2005 749s now and still love it.

Good luck with the rebuild, and keep the updates coming.

Hey Mark i think it was. I came down with my girlfriend to get it. It was a brilliant bike and its hurt me every time i;ve looked at it sat in the garage looking unloved. Today i took the wheels down to NB Coatings in Pontefract to be powder coated satin black.
Got these from the bay to tart them up when they get back.

The bearings that came out of the front wheel are in pretty good nick and feel ok. Am i right in saying that they should be replaced anyway?

Also got some primer on the swing arm :0)

I'll paint it black over the next couple of days. Took ages to mask everything up.
