Rural America is a great place to air a triple out too. I was actually considering an H1 motor. After getting her home last night, a restoration comes to mind. Anyone have any info on these anti-dive front forks? Assist line from the brake caliper feed goes to a fitting on the lower fork sections??? Supposedly it delivers more pressure to stop diving when the front brake is hit hard? New item to me, but I never had one of these before either. 18" front and rear mags with a nice double disc setup. Worth $150 ? ? ? ? |

would like to find some vintage clip on's for handle bars and maybe some rear pegs with shifter to make it look correct. it had a fearing, headlight, stock gauge package (not hooked up) and a set of regular low handle bars on it when I got it. looked kinda cool but not right. |

Doesn't the blue disc give you a bit more time to not break the beam when you are starting the run.... I am NOT a dragracer, so don't laugh!! |

Steve, that is an ultra rare Turbo 750....it needs to be restored! It looks like a lot of parts are missing, but someone out there would pay decent money for it. I think, myself, it is a bit too complex and heavy for a H1 engine, but that is just my opinion. I had the same anti-dive front end on my GPZ900r, way back, and while the front end worked fine, I thought the anti-dive system was the answer to a question nobody asked, and Kawasaki only used it for a couple of years! |

Joker has the keys and title, so I have not checked it yet for info. The guy sold it as a 1985 GPz 550 and thats what I think it is. I have a VIN of sorts from the neck, need to find a DB with info. I am leaning heavily in to a restoration as I always loved the looks of the GPz bodies. As for it being a pig and heavy, I dont care. Its about time to slow down anyway perhaps.... NNAAAHHHHHH What happens if you block off the assist to the forks??? |

Now I look at it closer, it does look smaller than the 750, can't recall that model here!! If it's a 550, then it looks like a better candidate for a H1 engine, smaller, lighter etc! Get to work!! |
