the 74 z1 turbo project again

started experimenting with some shock mount gussets tacked em on,dont like the look so theyll be coming back off while i think of a better idea!:laugh:

final cross brace for down tubes needs finish welding and grinding

to everybody who thinks im over doing it this is a stock 81-82 gpz1100 frame which i think is a lot heavier than mine is !:laugh:

I'm not sure u would need a gusset for the shock since there is a pretty good triangle going on there already, but it certainly can’t hurt. I like the spot u have it. u wont see it there. it should be hidden by the side cover I’d say.
You do nice work bro.

Hey guys... Don't worry about old Plummens heart....
You should worry about his nads!

For doo-doo- sakes (oh this is just wrong), knowing Plum he lifted that motor in the frame by himself....

The man just isn't right in the head...hahahahhahahaha...

Oh wait a minute, I lifted mine by myself as well... :blink: :huh: :dry: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

@ Austin, that rim/chain combo is whacked, just freaking beautiful.... Probably missed it but is that on your ride?
Either way, sweet!

im not happy with the way they fit,i got in a hurry and it shows so ill redo them. i was too busy eyeballing the baby nitrous bottle at the time i guess!i was telling brian about lous batteryless wiring using a capacitor and a few little parts,it boggled his mind too so i guess im gonna have to run it !:laugh: since im gonna have all that room under my seat now with no battery box i think im really gonna screw with everybodys heads and mount a big nitrous bottle in the front of swingarm where everybody can see it filled with nitrogen and plumb it for my airshifter tank,then ill mount a smaller bottle loaded with nitrous between my sidecovers where nobody can see it plumbed to the motor just for laughs!:laugh:

i decided last night that im going to mount the turbo in the normal place just because it looks nostalgic that way ,but we are going to build a custom intake/plenum to mount it with provisions to plumb fuel/nitrous injectors into each cylinder with a gutted 42 mikuni flatside supplying the air since ive now found a wide 19" front tire and a wide 18" rear to keep the old look there wont be enough room tomount turbo in front

It sound like u are going to have 1 KILLER KZ there man. Keep it up. (Even if u have to switch hands.lol):laugh:
