i gotcher 29's right here! jus' messin'

$388 for a set of Megacycle cams hardfaced on your cores for the 750 Kawasaki motors, or wait till a set of GPz750 cams show up on eBay where they generally go for $40 or so

Personally I'm amazed that a set of used cams sold for more than half the cost of a set of new ones. My rule is that if it cost more than half new cost I buy new.

Had my eye on these up until the end to.

Always planned on Andrews cams only the #30 grind. Will probaly now go with the mega .380 grind, maybe the 110s when I get around to spending my retirement.:laugh:

Should make you a real nice set of cams Kawasakiman.

I looked at those cams, they were 350 lift and if I am not mistaken stock GPZ cams are 354 lift, but they did have a tac gear so would be good for a 650. I have a set of GPZs in mine and used an electic tac from an 84 KZ700 along with a bunch of other parts from the same bike

According to the magazine articles of the time, the GPz750 heads were hand ported at the factory, and you can see by looking that there has been some work done.

I've done quite a bit of Googling on this and can't find anything about it. You have any of these magazine articles you could maybe scan?

I remember these when they were new. The "porting" was very minor and was more matching up the ports to the intake rubbers and carb size. Not a "real" port job and on what I saw it was only about the first 1" of port that was ground on.

That's not porting, that's gasket matching. Big difference!

Ok, ok, keep your shirt on, I'm looking for the copies that I'm pretty sure are somewhere on my hard drive.

I bought one of the cd's that are (or were) sold on eBay that contains a bunch of magazine articles that were published in the early eighties about the GPz750.
That's where I quoted from.

I'll be back sooner or later

Oh crap!! I just realized that they were on the hard drive that self destructed, now I have to hunt for the cd :woohoo:
