For the bike's with the mechanical ignition advancer,"Loudhvx" has made up a replacement for the Kawasaki IC Igniter using off the shelf GM electronic ignition modules. It depends on what you've got, but it works for twins and 4's.

Well she's done. A Big thanks to Mfolks, Loudhvx, Patton,Wired George (The man has some serious patience)and anyone else that gave me input/suggestions to finishing my R1. I'm still tweaking the carbs...it's a little boggy when I hit the throttle hard, probably a little to rich. I'll putz with it. Now the search begins for an 82' 1100!!!!!!!!!

in a world of mutant green ninjas, WOW a proper restoration!

these days you deserve kudos not just for your really great work but also for resisting the peer pressure of doing a 'cafe' with pipe wrap and stupid clip-ons and no fenders.... Compliments indeed :)

that said, nobody would have known if you slipped an 810 kit in there.... ;)

If you want increased stability for the forks, go to www.fastfromthepast.com and get a fork brace. Did that on my 1982 GPz 1100 B2 right after I bought it, and it corners like on rails.

I have a soft spot for the GPz and yours is absolutely fantastic! Definitely have my vote for Bike of the Random Time Period We Come Up With Award. You kept it stock-looking, that appeals to me as well.
Second what MFolks said about the Tarrozzi fork brace. They are a neat bit of kit and period appropriate as well.
My next project will be a GPz.
Congrats!

A way to keep your black engine "Shiney" is to get some Armor All, and on a clean cold engine spray some around, using a clean, new paint brush to get it in tight places. When the engine gets hot, it might smell a little, but it will make cleaning easier next time.

since dealing with tired springs, or just replacing them is a bit of a PITA, a stupid question:

why nobody uses 83' and up 550/750 Gpz systems with electronic advance built into the black box and a fixed rotor?
