thats a great idea, he will get everything working in harmony. All you need now is a *discrete* dry NOS setup !! take advantage of the suspension !!!

Looks great & I can only guess how much quicker it will be.
Looks like I will have to sort out the forks & shock on the old ZX7
to try & keep up

It must be an inherent design fault in the old 750’s
ITS ONLY 750

Looks great,

Time to take it for a run up the Bells see how it goes.

Yes + you can adjust the length at the bottom bracket... they had a more basic one with no adjustment but for the sake of a few bucks I would rather have all the bells

There are only 2 types available specifically for the Z750 & this is the better choice

Of all the people... Remember when I said it seems that Kwakas have worse suspension?

No Wattie is still talking, just using expleeeeeeetifs (sp)

Im in the shit with a blat test anytime soon.... family trip up north this weekend & the missus is in Melb the following weekend so ive got to be keeper to the darlings, but the following weekend looks good at this stage.
Meantime i will ride to work this week & have a tweek with settings & see what is possible

Rob, she looks fantastic now! I would dearly love to give her a whirl to feel the difference between stock and what you have done. For months I have been wanting to get down to Suspension Improvements to see what they can do with my bike, but without having to replace everything and spend a fortune. Tanya (ttc) & Matt(76) both gave excellent reports after they had their Z1000's modified.
