Dazz's GSX750ES Project

[dazz]

OK, the blank canvas:D

Got a real old school hill climber/fighter design in mind. Long term project, should take about 12 months to complete(I hope)

the C90 is a good bike but i dont know about hill climbs on it tho .. you could have got a better pic of it .. :)

[zx12argh]

Sweet dazz - I've got a GPZ900 with a similar idea in mind. Will be starting on that soon but keen to see how yours goes.

[dazz]

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:D

needed the old air cooled Zook donk to tie the whole look together.

Under the seat - you can see it in the RHS pic.

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)

http://www.streetfighters.com.au/forum/upload/321828908421030.JPG


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.

[dazz]

the other side.:D

http://www.streetfighters.com.au/forum/upload/321828908418879.JPG

[shift1313]

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

[dazz]

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:D

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?

[Hillsy]

Try this:

[dazz]

Got a carton of Extradry's in the fridge to use as bait to lure some helpers in;)

Where'd you say you lived mate :D

[Hillsy]

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....;)

[Jockney Rebel]

give us a shout dazz if u need a hand with anything have u still got the footrests? just the pegs ......btw we re havin a barbie on anzac day if u and ur tribe aint doin anything theres a few turnin up ..and itll probably rain ....:D

Sorry being a dog i`m colour blind:(can sumone tell me wot culla that engine is[?]

[Gix11]

If you're serious it's black with silver fixers. If you're not then I fell for it.

Uuuummmmm Black.

[geesexar]

red hot as far as i can see:D:D

[dazz]

Been playing around with exhaust placement and possible lines.

http://www.streetfighters.com.au/forum/upload/9228413790232.JPG


any thoughts?

[Gix11]

Forks might be an idea, but basically you're going for the classic 80's ratt bike look with a bit more colour and style. That will work great mate.

Give it to Bean, he knows where its at.

[Cruisecontrol]

That is a decent case of Parkinsons you've got there mate...:D

[dazz]

I will never confess to being competent with computers:D

[dazz]

engine out for frame tidy up and repaint.
Fork legs bead blasted

http://www.streetfighters.com.au/forum/upload/719043765134084.JPG

[dazz]

swingarm and linkages out of frame now and subframe to be removed (cut off) tonight:D

got new chain and sprockets.

looking for seat/ducktail to suit. Any suggestions?

[Hillsy]

Looking good Dazz. For a tail, maybe a newer under-seat-exhaust R1, Blade, CBR6 or ZX10....without the under-seat-exhaust? I've seen the Honda one without exhausts on a Gixxer Thou and it looked pretty neat.

[Cruisecontrol]

Make one yourself.

Anything else has already been done to death.

[dazz]

http://www.streetfighters.com.au/forum/upload/63216495908674.JPG


subframe gone and idea for rear end almost sorted.

[dazz]

http://www.streetfighters.com.au/forum/upload/6321702223768.jpg


something like this without the number boards

[Iceman]

cafe racer style, I like it.

[Jockney Rebel]

dazz that looks like a paul dunstall type seat/tank unit from way back nice mate

[zx12argh]

Mate - I dont know if you've notice but....
Someone has stolen half your bike! Rough suburb mate!

[dazz]

They can steal all the unwanted shit they like mate, makes my task easier

[Jockney Rebel]

dazz did i hear you want some spoked wheels these any good ?http://cgi.ebay.com.au/Suzuki-GS-GSX-750-1000-1100-katana-Akront-18-wheels_W0QQitemZ250114804971QQihZ015QQcategoryZ352 32QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

[WarHound]

Have you seen the strosphere concept .. its basically a Kat 8)

http://tokyo2005.suzuki.co.jp/motor/EN/cm/index.html

Talk to "Jonesy" he`ll have the gear;)not much b4 1980,G50 is very similar without the plate:DCruise thats why i went back in time:DA really nice fighter with alloy frame is starting to look the norm[xx(]

[shift1313]

dazz, it might be the pic thats decieving but it looks like your forks are a bit twisted and your rear rim has a nice dent in it. I hope im wrong.

should be a nice project

[dazz]

rear wheel is dented but has been that way for years without any dramas. Might send it to Silverwater to get fixed. Forks are straight though.

Jim, I am staying with the originals now. Going for the cheapest build I can for the best result.

Mundy, Spoke with Jonesy the other day, just need to make time to go and have a look at his stuff.He said you had been there the other day

[Ed74mnd]

like your build Dazz,

I did something similar to my GSX.

pretty mild though, didn't go too crazy with mods as I like the look as is.

tried to clean out the mid frame area like the yoshi kat too.

Cheers

Ed

[dazz]

Ed, your bike was what got me thinking;)

got a 81 GSX750 tank the other day for free but a little rusty on the inside.

Any tricks for cleaning this up apart from phosphoric acid and a handfull of washers as aggitators and shake the bejesus out if it?

total for build to date:

Bike $350
frame paint $9
tank $free
chain and sprockets $free (swapped for old unwanted parts had lying around)
Head stem bearings $free (as above)
Subframe steel $15

Total to date $374.00 :D [8D]

[Jockney Rebel]

ty a magnet round a peice of fishing line and just drop it in there put an inline filter in the fuel line fill it with petrol and ride it [worked for me my VFR tank was horrific inside]
or get one of those liner kit things i think they come with a cleaning /descaling solution
btw well done on the scottish tight arse build mate :}

[dazz]

Why thankyou old mate:D
I might call the bike the aquatic sphinctor as it is being built with a budget tighter than a turtles arsehole....(note to self..colour scheme for fuel tank:D)

[EXBEN]

Dazz look here http://www.ppc.au.com/
under Products/kits/fuel tank repair kits

[Hillsy]

The POR stuff is good. Also, here's a link to an electrolysis method which uses no chemicals:

http://www.streetfighters.com.au/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=2172&SearchTerms=rust,removal

[dazz]

Thanks for the links guys, might give both options a try.I have a couple of tanks and will see which gives the best result.

[dazz]

sourced a rear shock for $0 but rebound dampening is seized:(.
and length is about 45mm shorter than original but will sort it out:)
