If you find some, make sure you get the later DFI bodies from the '82-'84 model 1100's (B2, A1 - A4), not the earlier EFI bodies from the '81 model GPz1100B1. Old injectors can be removed and cleaned in an ultrasonic bath at any Bosch Dynotune outlet, and get new OEM injector-body O-rings.

just watch the static compression ratio with that 810 kit mate - you don't want the cr up too high with a hairdryer fitted.

cool ! I think the static c/r in the 750 Turbo was a bit under 8:1.

These are a great bike to ride, but watch them in the twisty stuff. The turbo lag in the 750 was the best of all the jap bikes, but under 6grand, the response is pretty doughy....not really a bike for tight twisty stuff, but excellent for big open sweeping roads. I rode one in late '84 quite a bit, a good mate owned one and I managed to blag more than the odd ride on his bike ! :lol: it was heaps of fun .....
