81' KZ750 + GSXR750 front end

I've got an oppurtunity to buy an 05' GSXR750 front end, forks, triple clamps, wheel, calipers, disks, the whole shabang. Think it'll bolt up on my 81' KZ750?

Dunno about "bolting right up".....looks like you'll end up mod-ing either your steering neck/bearings or the gsxr's triples or something.
BUT.....if ya get this whole setup....dont forget LOTS of step-by-step pics!!!

If its cheap, GET IT :lol: , it can be made to fit, as Indy mentioned it probly wont bolt right up, but you should be able to swap steering stems and put it in then without any trouble. check out this thread by Galaxian, its a very similar project.

it will not bolt right up without some modification to the steering stems. Here are a couple of pictures of my finished product:

Wondering what a bike would look like (and how it would handle) with a wide, lower front radial tire and a skinnier, taller bias ply rear.

I really don't think I want to know.

Point of message: get the rear setup too.
84 GPZ750. Modded with stock Kawasaki parts: ZR-7 shock, ZX-6 coils, GPZ1100 throttle, EN454 brake, GPZ900 fuse box, etc. and non stock: Ken Sears mirrors, K&N filter, Pirelli Sport Demons.
