Ahhhh...you miss yours b/c yours was "nice"...I picked up an '85 that was a million mile roach and I fixed it to sell...by the time I got that thing running I hated it with a passion...if I'd have fightered it, I probably would have liked it, but I was going for the "plastic + $" for the sale. Yours looks nice, though!
And I miss my '84 ZX550.

Wish I'd kept mine.
Prices for Gpz's are creeping up here in the UK, quickly becoming a collectors bike and a future classic.
Still miss mine cos it was in such good nick, couldnt get used to the handling though. Weird.

I was indeed! Good to know, thank you. I think the 550 deserves to be resurrected (and doesn't look too far gone to me, really) especially given that it has less than 30K miles on it. But there's a part of me that doesn't want to feel like I'm abandoning Tess. I always promised her certain special parts would go to her when I find them. Resurrecting an Angel and keeping Tess happy at the same time should be doable.
You were refering to the oil cooler as a part that may end up being donated to your 650, right?
If you want to run the oil cooler the same as it is on "Angel" (to the "block" on the front of the oil pan), you'll actually need an oil pan from either a 750 Zephyr or any year of the 750 GPz models. They are a direct bolt-on for the 650's.

That does sound personal.
But since you asked for it, sure. I've got a couple I'll toss up probably this evening.
Sounds great...got some pics for a 'play by play' as you do your thing?
