Hi,
Thought you might be interested in my project,and developments as it comes together over the next few months.
After being inspired by the XR750 look for quite a few years,I decided to build a special.I wanted that retro\modern look,which seems to have become popular through Deus\Wrench monkees.
I was looking for a suitable donor,ie W650 etc,when a mate mentioned a Kawa Z750,liked the look of it,frame wise & the motor was apparently a goodun!
So bought one reasonably & set about chucking everything off it!First job was to delug the frame,great fun with the anglegrinder!Bought a set of Aprilia OZ ali wheels,& set of Aprilia Falco Showa forks,had some ali yokes machined,(It is handy sometimes being an engineer)made a beefier steering stem & new taper roller bearings,also decided to run just one disc on the front so machined off brake lug & blended it in.
Front end pretty sorted,bought some wide bars from Red max and extended them,turned my attention to the backend.Plumbed for a ZZR swingarm,plated the aperture for the shock,sleeved
down the bore,made new swingarm shaft & had shock mounts welded on & fitted a set of original 70's Marazocchi piggy back shocks.
