Just wanted to share a pic of my recently finished Gpz, If you were to remove my helmet whilst riding you would see a grin from ear to ear, loving this bike.

That is pretty dang fabulous, but I'd bet real money that it is not really finished. :P

These projects never really get finished,there is always another thing to do.

Nice work GB, the '82 GPz750 is a great bike to ride, very pretty too, I know exactly what you mean.

Thanks, I should have worded the subject differently, you are right never really finished but it's great to have it out and about, when I found the bike it had been sitting gathering dust for around 12 years and was a real mess.

I think the early two shock GPZ's are the best looking air cooled Kawasaki's. Nice work, that one looks great!

Thanks Anders,
Here are a few more pics before and after.
Bike has been down to bare frame with most parts replaced or rebuilt. Motor has had top end freshen up too.

Looks great! Nice job considering what you started with. I've always been a fan of the twin shocked GPzs ever since I saw my first ELR in the college parking lot.
Question: My '82 has the champagne colored wheels. Were red wheels offered?

Red wheels were in all places but North America...and if your are speaking of your 750R1, then your wheels should be black, not champagne.
