Performance mods KZ750G?

presently resurrecting a 1980 750 twin. was wondering if performance parts like camshafts, stroker crank, or bore kits are still available and if yes, where.

thx in advance for help or suggestions.

ps. I know it'll never be a crotch rocket but I just like making it better.

never seen any performance parts for the 750 twin.

There is a reason for that. The twins had a completely different goal from a 4 cylinder. If you want performance, get a 4 cylinder. If you want nice comfortable cruising, stick with the twin.

Shell Thuet would have disagreed with this statement.

OK so it isn't a "common" motor for hot rodding, BUT, everything can be done. Check with megacycle for cam shafts. (475-20 and 475-40) Edco, in Petaluma can build a fantastic head and J&E make custom pistons for any application to YOUR specs in quantities of four or more. Carillo rods also do custom work. Good luck with your build. Paul

I didn't want to point that out and poop on the thread.....

True, Anything's possible with a big enough hammer and a fat enough checkbook.

Very true. Custom pistons, eh? I wonder what they would cost, since he will be making 4 pistons for a twin motorcycle.

I recently had them make 4 pistons for a SR500 (ish :evil: ) motor. 1 in the motor and 3 on the shelf. About $120 per.
