Yes the engine does fit with some minor alterations to the frame. It fits nicely when done. I can even take the top end off without removing the engine from the frame. I was also told it would not fit but I am one of those weird people who just tries it anyway to prove it can be done. I wanted it as light as possible and managed to get it at 420 pound with fuel. It has about 125 HP so the power to weight ratios is around 3.36 HP per pounds. I am really pleased with how it came out. Here are some pics

So stop it boys! no reason to argue, :laugh: There is plenty of room in my thread as long as nobody is posting a hack job pics of bobbing attempts. :whistle:
With regards to Z1000/Gpz1100 implants in Gpz750R1’s, look at the pics of Tommy’s bike
Tommy didn’t drop the frame though when he implanted the 1100 engine, so he has to take the engine out in order to set the valves.
I on the other hand, is ashamed of my slow progress but was mocking up the bike today when I paid Erik a visit.
As you can see, the only thing better than a Gpz750R1, is two
(note that Erik’s R1 gets to ride the new Chinese lift table, whereas mine is still on the Ugandan model)
X-cuse the shitty pic, but I had to mock up the front wheel with the original front fender that we have split and widened by 1’. It will take some more fabing before we get a perfect fit on the Zephyr fork and it might look a little bit awkward with the 17' rim, but then we just have to come up with something else.
No real job got done, but we measured up a whole lot of stuff that we are going to get started with now that days are getting shorter.

Nice "derailment" of ones own thread Anders
Thats a nice Bike Tommy has, looks like the tank needs raising without frame mods for top end maintenance , Also looks like an early Slabby GSXR750 swingarm...? Your bike is coming along nicely, I really wanted to paint mine with a different color combination to the typical Red or the ELR green but, damn that green looks good....
