Not sure if that exhaust was factory but twaz on there when my bro bought it. He modded it by removing gay front fairing and changing headlight to a yamaha headlight off something or other. and changin rear light assembly. Also by making sure it has f all clutch, tyres, brakes etc. Dont ya love it

[frequent fighter]

Shoul i now post questions bout my project in another section or this still fine? Trying to find out if neone knows much on the factory turbs 750's im thinkin bout doin mine. And how hard some zuki suspension/ wheels etc would be to set up to suit? Cheers for ne help. Sorry if im being a dick and posting in wrong section

Coupla 750 Turblows around here.Have a flick around.Got one at my place too. So far we slapped a gt17 turbo on it, gixxa swingarm and zx9 front end.It put on the back burner for a bit to finish the gix fighter tho. Must post some pics one day I guess.

You gotta loose those rims FF they are incredibly heavy compared to almost any other rim, and they're 18's, so no decent rubber either.
You will need a turbo motor , as they have a scavenger oil pump ,and lower sump assembly, that the N/A model does not.
ZX11's are a popular donor for a swinger, GSXR1100's have longer forks than 750's.'91/L series usd's still use a speedo drive which will fit up to your original gauges.
It's mostly a stem mount changover,[sleeve must be made] and lockstop mods at the front, a larger swingarm also means finding another mountng method for your pegs/footcontrols at the rear.
Dropping the front, and raising the rear has not made my Geep turbo unstable. In fact I'd say it handles a heap better.

[frequent fighter]

Cheers Guys, Benz i had in mind maybe those tri spoke rims not sure what theyre off (think maybe suzuki) and adding some fatter rubber under it. So i can pretend that it handles like a super bike cough! cough! The motor has some slight oil leaks but i thought perhaps maybe working with that a lil. Still only in early stages yet. Dont wanna spend the mega spondulies. the '91/L series usd's without sounding like a complete dork but is that a newer geep? the foot pegs arent much of a concern as i wanna add some smaller better looking pegs as im missing one and the others look like turd! Could u put up some pics of yours if its not to much trouble?
Cheers Paul

The '91 L is a popular bike around here, perhaps the alltime fighter rebuild option. A 1990/91 L or M series Suzuki GSXR750/1100, oilcooled.
My bike has GSXR750 17"rims,USD's and swinger,98/Front discs, ducati clipon risers, custom adjustable rear suspension links,blah,blah, you get the idea.
It's still not finished, never will be.....next move will be bigger turbo, injectors, and programable DFI, probably[^]
If you want to see a bit more of the build, have a look at this thread.

Cheers Benz that bike of yours has got a lotta got specs behind it and i like how youve kept the updated photos happening. What $$$ did the front USD's, rims and rear swinger set ya back?

[Benz]

Too fuggen much!!
But there is always [mostly..] a front end/swinger for sale here, and you'll get a good indication of prices by going back through the old posts in the 'for sale' section.
It's worth it though, the bike weighs a heap less, and is way better steerer, and actually stops!

[frequent fighter]

yeah finally got the bike round the block tonight after work (first ride successfull since bought) last time had to push it up hill half way home coz it died. Doesnt like selection second gear n upwards very well. My thoughts were bung selector and it sorta steers where it wants to go. but man u open the throttle n she moves. Good ol quad carb n dohc's.
