Gps 750 Case Decals

24 Feb 2016 11:23

Hey KZR Gang,

The GPZ decals on the crank case both sides are a bit marred and scuffed up. I heard that you can get replacements for them (didn't even know they were decals/stickers) so I went over to Z1E and looked there but couldn't find anything, let alone the entire bike decal kit for the graphics. I have a 1985 GPz750 (Zx750-A3) and really want to clean up some of the smaller detail like things on this and know that the case would be a good place to start. Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Thanks,
Brett

Thanks Peter will check that out! Are these "identical" factory authorized replacements or just repo's? If repos any idea how good of a repo they are?

EDIT: Checked on the site and didn't see the crank case decals (the metal "sticker" that is round and attaches to the crank case on each side at the bottom), also didn't see the red/white stripe decals either. Sad day but thanks for the assist regardless!

Thanks,
Brett

Here's another possibility. If you can't find what you're looking for, give them a call. They got some item not listed on the site.

Thanks for the heads up, was not aware that was the case since most list all or at least nearly all of their products. Will reach out and see what I can find, thanks.

Well heard back from a few of the vendors/companies. That specific emblem (the roughly 6" round metallic emblem that has a red ring and says GPz in red lettering on the engine case, both right and left side) is very rare and because it has to withstand high heat and most places don't make them. Those that do apparently are pretty crappy and not something most people would want. They suggested trying to use online communities like ours to try to find a decent original one.

So thats where we are at, trying to locate a GPz engine case original one that is in good condition to replace mine. IF anyone has some or knows who to talk to please let me know.

Thank you,
Brett

I suspect you will need to buy a NOS cover. Good luck. :unsure:

I'm beginning to think the same but time will tell I suspect. And to clarify, I'm told that the silver disc/shield that says GPz on it is an adhesive backed emblem and that its replicable which is what lead me on this search to begin with.
