So, in about 30 minutes I'm gonna hit the road to pick up a new project bike. It's and '87 Gix750 that's been streetfightered by some jackass that works on choppers :mad: I've got some fun ahead of me.......
Post pics and more info tomorrow night :thumb:
Have fun, just remember, they are crazy, no they can't drive & yes they are out to get you. :laugh:

I've got a gun :2guns: :2guns: :laugh:
Awwww man it's going to be so quiet with you gone and on the road :flipoff:
I hate long drives ( my Sirius helps a little) but it really can't be too bad knowing that you're going to get a new bike :thumb:
Congrats and post some "before" pics when you get home :icon_mrgreen:
congrats...can't wait for pics
Got it. I'm just south of Atlanta now, so pics will come in the morning. I can't wait to see what other surprises this thing has. Friggin thing has yoshimura engine cases, too. Time to hit the road again, I just stopped at krystal for some chow and figured why not post real quick :icon_mrgreen:
Awesome! Can't wait for pics of this thing! How's the wrist treatin' ya?
SORE!!!! I jammed it hard loading the bike :cry: But it's allright, just sore :icon_mrgreen:
I didn't even know you could get after market cases for GSXR's.Who knew? :dunno_white:
I didn't either, I was looking at it and then I looked at the yosh pipe and I was like 'whoa, those are the same characters :o '
I'm about to go to bed......poor bike is still in the back of the van. I'll get it out tomorrow and start work/pics :thumb:

to bad you're not closer.I'd like to see it in living color. :thumb:
Yeah, it needs some TLC and some serious cleaning :icon_rolleyes: But when I'm through it's gonna be a mean looking machine. Whenever I get it done, I'm heading to the Gap :icon_twisted: I think you're fairly close to on the way :thumb:

+1, looks like your postwhoring is really going to drop off till you get this on the road. :laugh:
Yeah, I'll still be here a lot though. I'm gonna need a shaZam! ton of help from our resident experts :thumb:
That thing is going to be a sick streetfighter when it is done!! :thumb: Keep us posted on your progress.
It is. I keep finding little surprises.......just found the V&H ignition advancer :icon_mrgreen: :icon_twisted: The yosh pipe has a race baffle :thumb: I still have to figure out what's gonna look best for a headlight.....
OK more pic updates as I tear it down :cookoo:

Have you used PB Blaster on the stuck header bolt? Spray some on that bad boy about every eight hours for a day or two. Heat it up once or twice; it should come loose.
Yeah, I'm heading out to buy some dremel bits and I figured I'd pick something up for that damn bolt. Honestly, I'm surprised that more weren't stuck. In fact, every other one came out very easily :o :thumb:
Nice carbon fender!! That reminds me, I gotta find a fender for my GS.
looks good! As for lights, the hella driving lights I got on ebay would look pretty badass on that bike!
Also, looks like your K&N got smushed a little bit, might wanna replace that..
Oh, get rid of those ugly rearsets.. send em to me, and I'll send you my GS rearsets to replace em.. everyone knows GS rearsets are MUCH sexier!
:laugh:
ugh header bolts that will get u on prozak fast
Sounds like a sexy project , i love the GSXR bit about it , just remember it, it might be a little faster than the old gs , u just wait until u see my next project , Im building something speical for the weekends , and to proper show off, * even tho im sure my gs is gonna be a show stopper*
im using the gs for commuting , and the other to never see rain :thumb: my all love terry!
I've got some K&N pods coming, that I got off ebay :thumb: I'm leaning towards a round headlight :icon_rolleyes: This f%$king header bolt is pissing me off very quickly.....especially since the headers have to come off to change the oil filter :mad: I actually hate the rearsets.....you would too, if you saw em in real life. I'm gonna try for some newer gixxer rearsets :thumb:
Ive Found A Mechicalicly sound Dr650 ;)
heheheh gonn have to wait a bit to afford it , i just bought a song vaio , its 3 months old , and it had a broken keybaord , so the stupid woman put it on no reserve , i got it for 230 pounds , i found a Brand new Keybaord for 70 pounds , so i payed 300 pounds for a 1300 pound Laptop! . :thumb:

It's a good thing some of us understand that pound means money over there.If not,some one over here may think you bought a half ton viao. :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:
OH TERRY.I HAVE SOME THING FOR YOU.(http://i205.photobucket.com/albums/bb17/ben_2_go/kitties.gif)
that thing'd look good with the cheapo Buell duals acually ... but one of the local Streetfighterz showed me his Acerbis (the other one i ws considering before i got the Buelss) and it attached with freaking cable ties :o The light looked cool (i think it was Acerbis' "Diamond") , but you'd probably want to mount it with something more substantial . He ended up following me back to the house to get some of my 3' cable ties we use for flex duct (they're a whole lot heavier ... same thing the cops used to use before they got their own special ones)
I've got a line on a 02 or 03 Gix 750 i'm working on now ... the dude just bought a house and wants to update the A/C ... if i can trade , the Gix will end up costing me a day in labor and about $1200 :thumb:
Oh , and if you DO go for the Acerbis lights , make sure you have a regular light first for inspection ... the only Acerbis we found that we DOT certified had a weird fairing and a rectangular light :icon_rolleyes: Maybe if your GS bucket survived you could rig that up first ?
No inspection here :thumb: :thumb:
Here's a pic of them on a 929 : (http://respect.netsons.org/pics/929.jpg)
:o :o Looks like his seats are set-up like I want mine. I'm pretty sure I'm either going with a round GS/SV or duals :thumb: I f%$king pandy'd the poor thing.........my jackstands weren't as secure as I believed they were. I went to wrenching on the rear wheel in anticipation of removing the swingarm and over she went :cry:
Absolutely no damage thank god. :thumb: It did however leak all of it's oil out because I'm a genius and yanked off the oil cooler :icon_confused: I picked her up and got her steady, laid out some litter to pick up all the oil and called it a day :icon_rolleyes:
The acerbis looks like poo, my $.02
Also.. if you ditch the rearsets, lemme know..
I'm really leaning toward a GS or SV headlight :dunno_white:
More pics!!!!
Check out these f%$king nasty K&N's :o :o
(http://i179.photobucket.com/albums/w317/spcterry/P1000203.jpg)
And a few of the taillight and seat.......so far.....got a good deal of fabricating to do :icon_rolleyes:

Are they structural zip ties? :laugh:
Absolutely :thumb: :laugh:
Hell when I got it half the engine was held together with em :o :o
Just got around to actually popping the carbs open..........there was an almost 1/4" thick layer of rust etc. in the float bowls :mad: :mad: :mad:
terry while you're out working on your new project,would you glance at the rear wheel and see if it's a 5.5?Please.I have an 88 swing arm I'm fitting to a 90 GS,I know a 5.5 will work.If i can find a 6.0 swept or streight spoke wheel,i'm going to try it.I just don't know what the original wheel size is.I'm also looking for an axle,adjusters,spacers,brake hanger,and 520 sprocket.Thanks Terry.
5.5 :thumb: :thumb: I can't help ya with parts, all mine are on the bike :laugh: If you find somewhere that has cheap 520 sprockets let me know :thumb:

Ummmmm.......HELP!!!!!!!!
Pilot Jet= Stuck :mad: :mad: any suggestions???
Lone Header Bolt= still stuck after almost a whole can of PB blaster :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: Help, Please????
I almost had a friend go buy this the day you posted it....
A friend has most of a suz body kit for that
I think i have a weird solo tail that will fit
the rearsets are RAASK....keep them
the yosh covers are vintage race parts....all zukis had to have them for racing
heat will be your friend on the ex bolt
heat the head slowly allen wrench and a vise grip on the bolt head together
did you already strip the slot on the pilot?.....big tweaker screwdriver and LOTS of PRESSURE!!!!!!
or grind the sides off of a big screwdriver til it fits in the hole.....
built the one in the middle years ago....same front and rear sitting under gsxr 1100 body
(http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d45/werase643/DCP41169.jpg)
the pilots not stripped but it's not intact either :mad: :mad: Overall, once I get it going, it's gonna be a hell of a bike. I'm still wondering about the logic in changing the carbs from flatsides to vacuum based :icon_confused:
I'm gonna buy a cheap ass torch when I get back from MS and get that stupid exhaust bolt
Not super worried about the pilot.......it's just aggravating :icon_rolleyes: I'll get it, eventually.....
The carbs are freakin me out. Holes in the slide are plugged, on each carb, one of the holes at the mouth facing the air filter is plugged............... :dunno_white:
easy fix scout fleabay for different carbs. oh yeah btw get on progressives ass about your gs :mad: :laugh: the header bolt, a torch will work, and or either channel-locks or a vise grip
My Vicegrips are broken.......don't ask. May as well buy a new pair and try it :dunno_white:
Ummm, dunno if you've noticed....but carbs ain't cheap :o And they are already setup for the bike :dunno_white: can't find a pilot size but it's running 132 mains.........
On the Pilot take a Screwdriver that Fits the Slot Snuggly.Stick it Firmly in the Slot and Tap the end of the Driver Firmly with a Hammer to Shock it a Bit.Heat the Carb body with a Torch and Fill the Hole with Oil Several times.Each time it Cools Shock it with the Screwdriver and Hammer.If you do strip the Slot out buy some different Size Drill bits and Keep drilling until all you have left is Threads.Pick the threads out Carefully.
If that's what it comes to I'll buy new carbs first :icon_rolleyes: :laugh:
Oh yeah you may want to Invest in a Can of Berrymans Chem Dip.It Stinks but it's the shaZam! when Cleaning Carbs. :thumb: If you find that too Expensive you can try Vinegar.Or Antifreeze in a Crock pot.
With the Berrymans you'll have to make sure you remove all of the Rubber and Plastic Parts.With Vinegar you'll have to remove all of the Steel Parts. :thumb:I haven't tried Antifreeze yet but Heard that it worked.

Come on Where's your Sense of Adventure. :laugh: Reallly sometimes you have to use your Imagination when Working on Vintage Bikes.Usually the Parts Aren't out there.I had a Stuck Pilot Jet in a set of VM34 Mikunis Specifically made for a 68 T500 Cobra.Using the Heat,Oil,Shock Method I saved one.The Other one had a Stuck Float Pin.I snapped off one of the Towers making that set go from worth Over $300 to More or Less Scrap Price. :mad: It took a few Years but I was Able to find another set but the Slides are Stuck. :mad: :mad:
Yeah, I think I'm gonna pick up some berrymans tomorrow ..........let em soak while I'm in MS for the long weekend :thumb:
OK...........the project is gonna be on hold till tuesday. I'm leaving for a family reunion early friday morning...........hopefully I actually make it back, there's a good chance I'll be in the hospital........... :o Whole f%$king family is as crazy as I am :cookoo: I'm gonna drag the carbs and a few tools with me and see if I can get one of my uncles to help me with the f%$king pilot :thumb:
Sounds really good buddy :thumb: , for some really wierd reason , i dont want my gs anymore ,i think its becuase the project is basicly at the end , and i just want to finish it , Paint , the rear wheel , and the little bits and bobs , i want a Thumping Single Enduro , hopefully with a few mods .

Meh.......my uncle is bringing some tools and a torch.......I'm bringing my carbs.........this damn pilot jet is coming out if someone has to go to the hospital because of it :o :laugh: seriously.
Any real benefit of going back to stock flatside carbs from these????????
ya know....
I'd check to see what diam carbs on on the 750 and compare them diam wise to newer kat 600/750
the spacing is the same since it is an evolution of the same engine.
they are prob 32-34 mm range....therefore a modern kat 600 might slap right on there
if bigger you might need the intake boots....and a mild port job to get rid of a ridge.
HEY KEN!!!!
How's this turd looking, ever figure out something for the subframe?? better yet, get it running??
checked the mail yesterday.....no title.....yet
it sit's til i see paper....otherwise i have a pile of parts
