Yeah i think i done all right, all it really needs is a coat of paint and it will look pretty good,it wouldve been even better if it had the turbo still fitted but as ned would say such is life.

Hey Goslin thanks for your knowledge on uploading photos its quiet easy once pointed in right direction.Thanks

Nice work - I love these bikes.
Saw one go for a song about .....awwwfack .....it was 10 years ago $1000 pristine and showroom condition No-one would touch them then for fear of mucho expenditure and the original owner just wanted rid of it. Your on a good thing though. Its all up from here as it is a unique example of the Japanese dabbling in power wars.
I love the the boost gauge in the tank. Oh and the surge. Handling is definitely of the era though
Somewhere around this interwebs thingy there is an original promo put out by Kawasaki on the TURBO. You've probably seen it.

I have an article in Practical Sportsbike, a UK mag with a comparo between the 900r and the 750T. pm me if you want a copy.
The standard turbo is a small Hitachi model running 7-10psi boost. Apparently Garrett T25 area compatible replacement.
I have the 900r, so I bought the mag. It came out as the better all round bike but the 750T was by far the best turbo'ed bike of the era.
