Chucky’s GS750 with Zed Bodywork Brisbane, Australia

[Guest]

G’Day Everyone!
i live in Brisbane, Australia and I’m getting back into my Jap 4 roots from when I lived in Blighty YEARS ago! I’m partial to. Chops, Streetfighters, Endurance Racers, and Factory Specials but not much of a restorer. I have just been given a GS750 along with a rolling chassis. I also have a number of 85 GSXR slabby projects, as finished Triumph chop, XV1100 motocross bike, and a Rocket 3. I love doing 3D cad and can draw pretty much anything if I have time.

i didn’t see an intro section to the forum so please consider this the intro :-)

pics to come!

Beginning the cleanup. Powdercoat remains good, I just have LOTS of degreasing and polishing to do!

[pete]

Hey Chuck, welcome! Degreasing and polishing... hours of fun!

Where in Brissie are you? If you're keen for a Saturday morning ride the Katana guys meet up for a brekky run every week usually up to Mt Mee if you're interested, I suspect you will fit in well with your two wheeled collection there. Vast majority are either on Kats or GS/X's with maybe an SR500 thrown in for good measure.

Keep us up to date with your progress for sure!

G'Day Pete,
I'm actually in Bundamba, i'm keen to ride when I can. currently the rocket, and chop are on the road. The Yammy is giving me issue electrically but that's all for a different forum LOL

Regards,
Chucky

Hhaha yeah... although there is an "other bikes" area here somewhere, the guys here are pretty clued up when it comes to electrickery!

We leave Cashmere at 8am, there's a couple of guys from out your way that join us occasionally also.

Let me know if you're keen and I'll get you the details, the only two rules are arrive fueled up ready to go and don't fall off

You'll likely get some good hearted stick if turning up on anything modern but at least you won't be on a Honda

Was it ever registered like that? I'm sure I've seen it once before riding through Fortitude Valley years ago... or perhaps someone else just had the same tank graphics on a GS... I remember those teeth!

Welcome to the forum; the GS Owners section of the forum is where you can introduce yourself if you want. Sounds like a fun project

Yes Pete, it would be the same bike! my mate James had it with straight pipes....small world ;-)

[pete]

Ok that would definitely be it, it certainly had straight pipes, couldn't miss it!

The GSX750F running gear is in, and I've done some online comparisons of the hopeful change in performance with the 17's and associated sprocket size. I want this to be a fun streetbike, so I'll keep the 47 tooth Katana rear sprocket and 15 tooth GS front sprocket. this will add about 900 to my 110kmh speed at around 5900rpm, close to peak torque.

Next task is basics like clearances, plugs, oil/filters, carb rebuild, cam chain tensioner etc......the boring bits lol

[pete]

Boring they may be... but the result is worth it!

Tarozzi Rearsets are fitted, found trashed stator wires so I ordered a new stator along with, cover gaskets, intake boot O-Rings, and engine bolts all from Z1enterprises who seem very easy to deal with!
