Hi all, recently sold my XS650 project and jumped right into a Kawasaki GPZ750 project.
Or 2.
Got them for a song a week ago and I'm beginning to find out why.
While most of the bike seems to be together none of the bike seems to actually... Work. While I did know I'd be hopping off of a cliff, I did not know how far the drop would actually be. $200 got me two titled '84 GPZ750's complete with engine and all 8 carburetors, and in my haste to replace my Yamaha I figured I'd be capable of making at least half of them work.
I figured incorrectly.
Now I come to you all, seeking guidance on my quest to make one of these things work, any spare parts you've got available and any spare knowledge would be highly appreciated.
Now, hopefully pictures will be included

Looks like you've got some work ahead of you for sure, but you are basically in them for nothing. A 1984 GPZ 750 is a wonderful motorcycle, that the styling still looks good on today! (IMO)
