    Kawasaki GPZ 750 project

    Well guys I picked up a nice little resto to keep me busy between other things , she's a numbers matching GPZ 750 DFI , most likely I will start with paint so this is a long term project


    On the upside if antone needs parts I have 3 of most things

    Aye Kev,

    I cant see the image very well , what year models are the bikes??

    Are they the early GPZ's or the later like the GPZ900's?

    If the later I do need a few bits for my two 900's , let me know cheers mate.

    I think those 750s are mono shock and the zrx100 arm is twin shocks (can be done) and he has to be careful of tire chain frame clearance even with the 5.5 rim I think they had on the 1100.

ID:	5179They're certainly not the easiest bike to put a wider back wheel on.. Not impossible though. "

    hey Kev, does it say DFI? The only injected GPZ 750 was the 750 turbo.

    I was going to mention this as well dave but got harassed by the kids before i could post.
    I thought the only DFI's were the 750 turbos and 1100's? But i previous owner could have made up a bit of a hybrid i suppose.

    I would go for ZZR1100 running gear. Its pretty cheap as not very popular, right way up forks, 17inch wheels etc. There was a GPZ1100 local to me in england that was running a complete ZZR1100 rear end, and from what i can remember there wasnt any major frame mods, but it looked like he had the sprocket carrier machine down as the chain was running tight on the tyre, ( like the egde of the tyre getting rubbed by the chain tight).
    I suppose the other option would be GSXR750 J/K rear end with 4.5" wheel, then i think a GS500 sprocket carrier is used which keeps the chain tight on the tyre. This settup works on the old aircooled GS's and the like so these woould probably be a similar width to the GPZ750.
    Love the old aircooled GPZ's, should be a good project

    Hi Kev this sounds interesting and I might be interested. How much does it owe you or how much will you take?
