looks like we need a engine pictures gallery fellas

Nice pics ModProd...

Don't know whatever happened to Harry Maillet. I recall that he was a mechanical engineer by trade. I remember him at the roadraces in Southern California when he tuned the Racecrafters' KZ1000s. Harry's street-going 1975 Z1-900 was featured in Motorcyclist magazine years ago with his own cams, Yosh 1015cc racing two-ring slipper pistons, a little head work ("just a little cleanup around the guides"), frame and suspension mods, etc. The bike looked wicked, painted in black. Harry said it made around 120 hp or so. I still have that Motorcyclist issue.

When Pops Yoshimura started preparing and racing Suzuki GS1000s against the KZ1000s in the late 1970s, I asked Harry if he and Racecrafters might switch to racing the GS1000s. He replied, no, because he was getting "over 88 lb-ft of torque" from the lastest KZ1000 motors he was tuning and felt that the KZ1000s could keep up with the GS1000s.

:laugh: i was thinking about your bike when we stuck that bodywork on there,im gonna run the z1 bodywork i had on there before just havent decided on color yet;)

Here's a pic of the 900 that I used the 83 GPz11 cams in with 1015 kit and 29 Miks....It's been sitting for about 5 years now...I'm going to be getting it back on the road for the owner this spring....

I'll take some pics of the cam sprocket setup when I pull the cam cover..

That supertrap pipe always bugged me the way it sweeps down and I always felt the primary tubes were entirely too large for this particular motor.

I had wondered how that GPZ cam might work in a small bore streetbike? Like around .420 lift maybe? I was always partial to these small motors and this one is more my style. I remember some 960 motors that ran pretty good with small cams and 29s. Surprizingly responsive!

Those cams as I recall are about .390 lift. Pretty good cam for a 1015 motor.

Yes..the can on that Supertrap is pointing downs slightly....Funny part is it bolts right up without any tugging, pushing, or forceing....as I said before, I don't like the pipe..
