Knackered gearbox replaced for a pound off ebay,and engine ready to go in,but feel guilty(ish)fitting suzuki engine into kawasaki frame. I scored a bandit600 engine last week,nice condition,goodridge external cam pipe things,all wiring and a sapre set of chromed engine cases for 50pound,if only kawasaki stuff was as cheap!

Dixie boy, all you need to do is decide which bike the "blower" is going on

[coldsummer]

Nice work Dixie, I like your style - loads of different projects going on, makes me feel better about my manic collection of projects!

I always liked the old teapots, actually thought the top line of the tank/seat/tailpiece was quite stylish!

Is your GPZ750 an R1? I have two on the go myself but thinking of selling them and getting another zephyr.

So ya gonna keep that Kawasuki a shaftie?

[dixiethedog]

My gpz is a unitrac. The st panels are the only shafty bit i own,so chain drive it is! I was trying to have a clearout,and decided to sell the gpz for 150pound,which is what i paid,and got a couple of timewasters at the door! However,ive just won a mk2 seat from an auction site,so have decided to turn the unitrac into a mk2 lookalike. Im easily pleased.......

im bored at pc,off to workshop i go...........

[Pigford]

Eay oorp lad - get them spanners spinning

[dixiethedog]

Im getting spanners spinning Pigford! Only problem i have is the gpz's frame was powdercoated red (not by me!),so as i plan to fit mk2 bodywork,im limited with my choice of colour,for the paint job? Looks like it will have to be red then....(or strip down to bare frame and paint frame.....aargh....).
