fitting GPZ750 seat and rear fender on KZ750e

this is my first KZ, got it running great, tore it apart for the winter, finding a rebuilt motor and lots of new parts, im not a big fan of the large seat and rear end, i was wondering if the rear frame on the gpz 750 was different, i can do fab work or is this just a waste of time, can anyone help? mabe a pic of a gpz with the plastics and seat off??

What year GPz750? I can tell you that it would take an awful lot of work to make the 83-85 GPz750 parts fit.

81-82 (I think there was a GPz750 both years) parts might bolt on though.

I second Steell's question...I have a 1982 GPz as a rolling frame right now...it is essentially an E model:whistle:

damn, the parts i got on ebay were for an 85, which i like, guess i will see when they show up, if i could see the 85 frame, i could redo the tubeing in the rear to fit

The 1982 GPZ750 frame is clase to an KZ750E, but you cannot mix and match all body parts. For example, on the GPZ the tank is longer, and the seat is shorter. Also, the foot peg mounts are different (GPZ's are set back more). The KZ750L (a 1983 only model) is identical to the 1982 GPZ in most respects, except for paint scheme.

The 1983 and later GPZ750 has a totally different frame and body parts. It is a monoshock in the rear, and marks the true start of the more modern sport bikes.

well thanks for all the help, im not affraid to do fab work, just dont wana cut the hell out of it, just wana loose the big ass seat, while i have your attention, what are your thoughts on progressive springs in the forks?

I think you are gonna find that the GPZ seat is fairly large, bigger than you might think.

Any suspension update is a good thing in my book. Progressive makes a good off the shelf updated spring that will definitely be better than the 20+ year old springs you have.

yea i have noticed after looking at some pics, this is what happens when your up late on ebay, well ill have to resell the items, yea im gona go with the springs for now, kinda on a budget, right next to my shop is a great machine shop that i hope to use in the future for adding a better suspension set up
