82 gs 750 into a drag bike ?

[doctorgonzo]

Some day....
I'm going to build either a GS1000 or a KZ1000 into a drag bike. Seeing a guy at the local fairgrounds (TINY black dude whose feet barely touched the ground) drag a built KZ1000 when I was in junior high was what hooked me on these bikes.

I haven't had one but my guess would be low 12's to high 11's in the right hands. Someone else would have to verify that.

At one point a read a magazine review from back in the day and I think it was low 12's right from the factory.

cool, so mine with extended arm, bored to 1085cc with hot cams and pods with a harris race exhaust and nitrous should be quite handy down the quarter mile then!

Oh yeah, I would expect it would move rather briskly!

If you want to go racing just leave the 750 STOCK & go ride it & LEARN! After you know what you are doing look for a bike that is already built! You WILL save a lot of money this way, TRUST me! I have 3 dragbikes of my own & have built many for customers. It is almost ALWAYS cheaper to buy one already built! Ray.

If I remember correctly, Pip Higham was the fastest guy in the UK over 1/4 mile on a GS and he managed to get in to the 10s. There'd be one or two mods though!

fastest are the 750E and 1100E

I have talked to Ricky Gadson's help and they say the best bikes to run drag are the 750E and 11ooE Suzuki 1980 to 85

i've been getting consistent low 12's and dipped into the 11's with a 78 gs1000L. it's stripped down, 4-1 open pipe, 145 jets. never opened up the motor except to adjust valves.

it's probably the cheapest drag bike at the track but i do actually compete. and it's fun.

thats kinda what i was looking at mid to low 12s my little 500 ninja ran a 13.00 99.2 mph ,i may play at the track with the 500 this year but have the 750 ready for next year, and if i can get a cheap 1100 engine in the near future but i would like to run the 750 too ,and it just friday night racing no points stuff

it is piped (4 into 1)jetted , air pods ,accel coils and wires.
i already got rid of all the wirng i dont need and started to lighten her up a little ,tossed the seat ,lights ect

thanks guys

Don't throw that pipe away if you get an 1100 or 1150 motor as it will still work! Ray.

no i wouldnt i was just listing what i already did to this bike when i had it on the street
