Another GPZ 550

[dutchy]

Went and picked up that one from gumtree today. It came with a dodgy headlight fairing. It's held on at the top with some wire and at the bottom with a couple of zip ties. There also seems to be some interesting replacement mirrors taped on.

The bloke I brought it from told me that it turns over and that there is spark. There needs to be a bit more investigation as to the overall condition of the engine but I can already see a heap of bit that are in better knick than the one I brought. Now I've got all the side covers, a better rear fairing and the best bit.......a good frame















and this...........









looks a hell of a lot better than this..........

Should be all systems go know,plenty of spares just needs some elbow grease and youll end up with a good old classic

Well this will stop you getting skin cancers. U won't be seeing much day light outside the shed.

Yep. Although I am diverging slightly from the original plan. Thinking of doing something a little different.

That really reminds me of my CB500F in the garage... and no, that's not a compliment! hahahaa

Patience. I've got to pull part the zx7r and sell off the parts first to help boost the funds for the rebuild.

[davo231481]

so what parts can you see fitting the 5fitty?

[davo231481]

what about the rearsets?

[dickfaber]

a frigging big one of these and the 750 may fit!
