1977 KZ650 four - engine seized 1984 GPZ 750 engine running Going to be super skinny, super low, "resto mod" style build Ditching the stock wide tank to a lot skinnier, go with a good 4 into 1, set of Uni pods, polished aluminum side covers (home made) no rear sets, no drop bars just slightly lower and a decent comfortable seat.

Aaaaand it's apart... That 4 cylinder was not fun to yank by myself... Not strong like I used to be... Got it popped up out of the frame wrapped my arms around it and immediately regretted my decision

Just the lower tree,forks,& caliper.Freeeeeee Come & get it. Brad Is this for the track or street? Not sure yet ! I will swing by sometime and grab them. Been given a Kawasaki 750 LTD complete minus front wheel and the connecting rod hanging out the front of the case... It will serve as donor for my wiring harness, rear wheel assembly with caliper, few other odds and ends before it goes to the crusher

"Winning Performance" 4 into 1 pipe... Needs some love but solid.... This is a rebranded Kerker, so should be able to keep the vintage sound....

Leak down test resulted in failed exhaust valve on cylinder 3, Off with its head.... Cylinders all look amazing pistons are second over, Lots of carbon deposits on cylinder 3 causing exhaust valve to stick open,
