She looks great from up here in Canada.

I've always wanted a GPz. And in green she looks good.
I see you have many bikes I lust after in your signature. :woohoo:

Dang, somebody stolded my line.

Looks good, and if it ain't hurtin' nobody, why not!!!

Tarozzi(Fast From The Past) makes rearsets and so does Raask(Ohmars Rearsets) for that machine. Kind of pricey, but parts are available.

Corey,
Yeah, I'm really thinking about the Tarrozzi's as I've got a set for my (yet un-purchased) 82-83 Kat big-bore and they're very, very good quality. I can't stand Raask's. So, I might get a set of Tarrozzi's or maybe convert a set of late-model rear-sets and addapt them. I've got a little plan for the passenger pegs...nobody's said anything about the now-missing passenger pegs but the previous owner jettisoned the peg-brackets :huh: in order to do the (stupid) 'fighter-esque exhaust-can...it's okay, got a Kerker waiting in the wings, but I want to address the pegs first and then we'll "make" the Kerker mega-phone fit.

-KR

(rstnick: BTW, I've always been a fan of your bike...sort of Roadwarrior-esque...but cooler...and a :pinch: 650!!!

Sorta/kinda got some stuff going on with the old sled. Took these off.

So I could put this in:

And these:

been thinking of a dynojet kit my self let me know what you think.

pretty filters how much how much lol.

Which may or may-not have turned out okay...got a little carb leaking and I think I know where the issue is. The little rubber ring gaskets that go around the needle-seat brass tube that holds the filter screens had to be replaced, and we used rings that were probably a bit too small...maybe...aaaaaaah dunno...we'll see.

I thought the Dynojet kit was "okay"...no real complaints, but they were the only real option for this bike.
The filters will make you laugh!:lol: Got 'em from a guy on the CB900/1100F forum for a 20 spot...beats $116, eh? Or $60 for APEs...which is where I was going until my friend found these on the CB forum. They were monstrously dirty, and one of them is a bit 'tweaked', but you can't beat it for $20...AND - to add insult to injury - my buddy wouldn't let me pay for 'em...so "free". :woohoo:

But then another thing happened to me whilst working on the old girl. I picked up a Kerker system for an '81 Suzi GS1100 and I'm going to make the megaphone work on this thing. The problem is that my header is a V&H (insert sound of me vomitting), so the megaphone isn't going to bolt on. Now you can insert my evil scientist laughter because this means TIME TO MODIFY! Haaaaaaaaaaaa!

But to make the meg fit I'll need to hang it, and to do that I'll need a 'hanger'. I also need rear foot-pegs (happy wife = happy life...take note, boys) . Could I fabricate a modification that would serve both? :huh: We shall see...

And...

So that I can
