yup......so while i got my bike stripped down to a bare frame, de-rusted it, checked welds, added welds in places i thought needed total welding.....i got to browsing craigslist for parts.....mostly in the frontal area..........in a few hours i will have a donor bike, a 1983 GPZ750. so...heres the plan. gonna swap the front fork over, convert the 550 frame to taper bearings, a friend is gonna cut off and weld in the uni-track mount from the gpz frame and weld it to the 550's frame, install the swing arm set up and the "new" disk brakes and hooooopefuly have a rideable bike within the next few millenia. will post pix of the progress. but today......when it warms up some.....primer and paint on the frame!

ok.....now i've decided to go another direction....going to cut out and graft the rear suspension mount section of the gpz's frame to the same location of the 550's frame..before i do any cutting, can any one tell me what the rough i.d. of the lower crable frame tube is so i can go buy some steel bar stock to use as dowels?

I swear I need to stay off Craigslist, I've had too many projects take a hard left turn because of something I found when trolling Craigslist.

Good luck with your new direction.

Just remember the two happiest days of a boat owners life are the day they buy it, and the day they SELL it!!!!!

The only thing thats eats more ca$h is anything that has the word "aircraft" connected with it.

1972 H2 750 Cafe Racer built in 1974.
1976 KH400 Production Road Racer.
1979 Kz1000 MK. II Old AMA/WERA Superbike.
1986 RG500G 2 stroke terror.
1986 GSXR750RG The one with the clutch that rattles!

Up in the hills near Prescott, Az.
