Hey Dazz - noice score. I had an 83 EF which gave me absolutely no dramas over the 6 years I had it. Was my first bike bike after a lame old GPZ250R.
Apparently it's not too hard to slot an early Gixxer 11 crank into them (same main bearing size) = longer stroke = more cubes = more fun....
Looks like under the front of the seat on the yoshi (right behind the carbs) or same spot but a few inches back on the red gsx (right behind the electric panel)quote:Originally posted by zx12argh

I wonder if this is the same artist looks pretty similar in design
wow, thats looks excellent. mr zuki should consider doing a modern re-issue like ducati did with those paul smark retro bikes.quote:Originally posted by ozkat

saw this on here a while ago, might use this as a basis for the 750 but want to do some different stuff i have seen on some old resto bikes. Classic look but current refinements
needed the old air cooled Zook donk to tie the whole look together.

Here is a better shot of the bike.
Bike has 2 brand new mufflers too
choppaweeza, thanks for contacting me yesterday about the 1 you have got. I have passed the info onto a mate and he will let me know if he sells his bike on the week end.
the other side.
should be a cool project. I like the fact that you said long term and 12 months. My bike must be a longer term project. that black yosh kat is amazing!!!!!!!
i see alot of mx bikes in the background. that makes my day
Progress report:
Ducktail removed
Airbox cut up and thrown away
mufflers off and 180mm cut from existing exhaust
rear footpegs removed
carbs out to be overhauled prior to manufacture of custom air intake manifold
engine will come out tonight hopefully for frame cleanup and respray
yet to decide whether to paint engine or bead blast and leave alloy.
any suggestions on what to clean up old looking carbs with to remove years of filth and make like new?

Hey Dazz,
I dropped the motor out of my old 1100EF by myself by taking out all the engine mounts (except the rear bottom and front), laid the bike over on an old tyre, undid the remaining mounts, then lifted the frame back up leaving the donk on the floor. Used the same method to put it back in too. Sounds dodgy, but it ended up being really easy.
Now you can send me a six pack for the tip....
