Has anyone used one of these old Gpz models and fitted an H1 motor or an H2 even for that matter.
Really looking to squeeze a triple motor in to it and keep the Gpz as stock looking as can be otherwise.


Your thoughts and comments are welcome.
I can get a very nice 84 Gpz 750 for a very good price, that what I want to do with it.

Thanks

They are a Big, Long, Heavy bike to be putting a triple motor into. Do you have a GPZ yet, or are you thinking about it....?

But I am told a very steady and well handling bike Rod.
Waiting for better pics and hoping to pick it up next week.
May just end up restoring it as is.

Yep, agree on those points, just remembering my GPZ900, (ninja 900, '85) mostly. Big project, tho! :think: (so go for it!!!)

They come stock with 87 hp and about 500 lbs.
I'm guessing an H2 motor or the original would be the way to go Steve.

The 550 would be better, but if the 750 is cheap, go for it

I may just fix it up as is.
If I ever finish fixing my KH400 1st that is.........

It's a good thing the GPZ runs well as it is then!
How many more years until you get the 400 fixed? :mrgreen:
