ZR750C Moriwaki Endurance Racer

Hi Guys,

I'm about halfway through a rebuild of my zephyr 750. It started life as a cobbled together commuter so I slowly converted it to a cafe with USD front end and a new tail section from a 900ss duc. It was great fun to ride and I did some big klm trips on it, but was getting to the point of needing a freshen up in more than a few areas so I decided to go all out. I always loved gardner's z1, and have been drooling over 8hr endurance bikes and Bol d'or's etc. I love vintage motorsport!

Here's a pic of it after the cafe build. I'll add more pics of the work done to date for those interested.

This is the parts list for the new build:

ZXR750 USD front end
woodcraft clipons
custom top yoke
810 Wiseco kit
Top end redone with ground / lapped valves and ported head
mild / hot street cams
teflon coated piston skirts
Kiehin CR29's
upgraded clutch springs
ISR discs, master cylinder and levers
GSXR1000 K1 6 pot caliper conversion
ZXR1200 swingarm, rear wheel brakes etc
Stack ST700 clock
racefit quick filler
new custom stainless 4-1 exhaust
new bodywork form airtech
BEET rearsets
Shorai lithium battery
And much much more.

Here's a few pics of the build process till date.

Now some of the frame mods, body work and other fab stuff.

The front fairing stays

Bodywork on!

Screen mounted, headlights mocked up and a few other bits.

New top yoke. Will be anodised black, along with the original lower triple.

Next steps are mount the new 12 row oil cooler and powdercoat the frame etc while the engine gets finished.

Then it's final dry fit, paint (moriwaki livery with period decals), new exhaust fab and electrics.

Hoping to have it finished by October 2016 for our annual run from Sydney to Phillip Island for the MotoGP.

oh, here's a shitty mockup of the bodywork on.

Damn dude! You're killin' that build.

Thanks mate. I should be clear, the fab work is not mine, I've had to outsource to some local builders. The bike is in Sydney, but I'm currently working in India for a few years so it's ll being done remotely! The design and procurement is the hard part because it's a bit of a frankenstein (though mostly all kwaka). I've lost count of the number of hours spent on procurement of parts making sure it'll all come together right first time and look the way I intend. So far no missteps!

Great Build
I will enjoy your up coming progress and Pics
