    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Stev, I normally don't go for this look but that is awsome!!! :D :D :D

Thanks guys.
The project is taking longer than expected.
The addition of that vintage ATP turbocharger has certainly re-kindled the fire.
The day's shaping up nicely and the '78 1000 wants to go out and play. Seems there is a 900RR that moved in down the street that needs to be taught a lesson or two.

This is what I've been wanting to do with my extra bike.Would mine being a shaft cause any problems?
 
just a lot of extra measurements for the shaft. its been done before by someone in Cali, just with a honda goldwing. :)

I'm with you Hap. I'm very impressed with the look you have there. Very good job!
 
I wonder if an xn85 turbo would work on a 750 :-k :-k :mrgreen:
 
That is kinda different, but looking good, 8)

Really nice job! Thats very similar to what I am working on now with my 750L. Where did you get the turbo system? I was thinking of building my own but when it comes to the header and intake manifold I'm lost and dont want to pay an arm and a leg for a "one-off" item.
 
Thanks for the kind words gentlemen,

The Turbo looks rather large, but it is an old (1978 or so) RayJay. It has a large housing but a rather small diameter turbine and compressor. Even though it has a Mr. Turbo air cleaner, I'm pretty sure it is an ATP system that was originally designed for the KZ900/1000's. ATP went out of business some time ago so I have been unable to get much information on the system. It was a lucky score off a used up '77 GS750 drag bike.

Mr. turbo says they can make a system for any bike but since I have all the parts I need I haven't checked into this claim.

As far as Hard Tail shaft drives, there have been quite a few. Check out www.redneckcycles.com and you can see one. You'll also see where the design for the back half of my frame came from. I think it might be easier to do a frame for a shaftie, but your limited to the amount you can strech the frame if you are not willing to spend the cash to lengthen the shaft and housing.

thats hot

thats hot

very nice. if yoiu don't mind me asking, where do you get frames like that for these bikes. was it made for it or did you fab. it yourself. i'm in the process of making my 83' gs 750 an old school chopper. thanks for any info.
 
Designed and built it myself.
You could find a frame made for a Triumph motor and change the motor mounts. A friend went that route for his KZ900 chop.
There is also a Canadian company that will build anything you want (Designcycles.com?).
 
Post some more pics as you go.It's looking great!
I'm going to take mine down to the local welding shop and let them start cutting mine up.I don't want to strech it.I just want to take the frame down from behind the tank to the back axle and remove the back shocks.I guess about a 45 angle.What I don't know is..What to do about the swing arm?Do I need to weld it in place or cut it out and put solid frame back in?
