Smitty is right it is the str8 swap GPx750 motor, but if anyone has the measurements for the ZX9 motor I'll see if it's a goer.

and Dave gets one of his bikes recycled

anyone else got an old ZXr750 they want to get rid of....

cheers

Don't blame me for this one Smitty... I wouldn't do that to a bike...

It was from a guy around the corner and me and Damo only picked it up for him... If I remember correctly I did tell Mick it was in A LOT of pieces.. But then Mick negotiated the price and we figured worse case scenario, and that was the parts are worth more than what he paid for it..
When he left here I gave him directions to the wreckers and to the tip, in case he didn't want to take it back to Vic...

...Good Luck Mick !

If that was in my garage......there would be a lot of swearing and tools flying across the garage. Followed by constant trips to my bar for another bourbon.

Hope it all comes together for you mate.

Good luck man - you'll have some fun there. Don't get hammered by the big picture, just make a plan of action and tackle one job at a time. Deffinately a clean and dummy assembly first job IMOA.
