i have a much loved 1982 gpz 750,which i have some plans for but i may need some advice on.my list of delusions include 1]830 kit wiseco i think ? later model cams & better carbies'then i want to put 17" wire wheels on it which i think would look spectacular.which leads me to my question,did they make a zephyr 750/1000 with 17" wire wheels & if so what sort of widths would they be. i will try to post up some pics as soon as i learn how to do so.

Just a thought, most wire wheels cant run TUBELESS tyres, so maybe what you gain wont be as big an improvement as you planned ?.
Would look HOT though

harleys run wire wheels (some of them)..does that mean they dont have tubeless tyres??
alterantively..how hard would it be to get a harley wheel and make up spacers etc??

Yeah... the later model stuff incl. harley's spoked rims run tubless tyres.
dont ask me how or why, just noticed that they do.
the Zephyr 1100 what a great looking boike, shame about the eight plug head though

just had a quick look mate, they are 810cc kits, need a 3mm overbore..........
I think old mate out at the 'Bung has some 83/84 ZX750Gp stuff, they are the cams you need......
good news on the wheels
those Zephyr wheels might need Zephyr forks as well for that 'complete' look.......
I'll get the battery back over to you soon.........
