Fantastic rebuild,loved the story behind the bike,just do me a favour and don’t ride anywhere in Northumberland as it will put mine to shame when I eventually get it finished cheers

Hi yes so I found out,also I have been told they are all flat out,as everyone seems to be doing a rebuild in lockdown,will probably just spray the down pipes and collector box as I am hoping to have it on the road as soon as possible.Strange coincidence with the bike magazine front page article in the library’s section I have just found the bike magazine plus the original Kawasaki handbook with my bits.The bike magazine tested it against 3 other 750s,interesting that he had a massive tank slaper on it,I had the same experience 35 years ago,got rid of the original tyres and everything was fine,cheers jj

Thanks for the info,I have now checked out my old bike who my mate has had striped for 10 years and the good news is the 2-1 system is salvageable just needs rechroming and a new silencer,probably a reverse cone which you can pick up for £70.I should have my project bike delivered this Friday,Can’t wait to check it out cheers jj

Afternoon yes you are probably right on the rebuilding of the engine,it will give you peace of mind when it’s all done,and you seem to be flying along.My rebuild is doddle as it just needs finishing off,its 90% done judging by the photos I am still trying to organise transportation to get it up here.I have another one in bits up the road that a mate of mine is storing plus various other engine bits if you can’t source them i.e. barrels,crank ect let me know if you want anything cheers jj

Afternoon,I’ve never seen a bike that has taken so much abuse,and you must have no fear of any project.I would look into a replacement engine as there is a few on the internet for £350,which in the long run would work out cheaper than a total rebuild.If you do source an engine just make sure it turns over ok and check it has compression on both pots.I wish you good luck on your project,and it makes mine a doddle in comparison cheers jj
