    Now that i have finished the 750EZ project it is time to get serious about my 750ESD. I bought it about 9 months ago for $800 and at that point it had not run for the previous 6 months. The PO said it had run OK but at about 80km/h it started to splutter a bit. It had been sitting outside half...

    I've used a 2k clearcoat on all the paintwork. I get the cans premixed at a local automotive paint shop. They are good for 24 -36 hours before hardening in the can. It has all been reassembled and the result is better than i thought i was capable of. I had left the packrack on as...

    Finished off the painting and clearcoats. Here is the sidecover with new badge and the Rear cowl and the tank The finish on the tank has a little of the orange peel look but only really obvious in low light. Overall I'm pretty happy with the result considering it was my first...

    I received a set of Blue coloured brakelines from HEL in the UK but unfortunately they looked terrible when i put them on the bike so they got painted black. The line from the M/C to the splitter was also about 80mm too short so i used an old (relatively) line from my 08 GSXR1000 which was only...

    The new boots fit nice and snugly and i got the carbs back in relatively smoothly. It was the depth of the new boots that made the difference as previously i couldn't get the 2 middle carbs to push into the boots. The cleanup of the engine has progressed well with most of the corrosion gone

    And here is why i could not fit the carbs back onto the old intake boots. On the left we have nice new supple rubber boots and on the right we have 32 year old shrunken hard rubber, felt more like plastic really. It should be a bit easier fitting the carbs back into these.

    Cleaning up the wheels was the latest job and this is what i was starting with After copious amounts of degreaser, scrubbing, sanding, hours spent on the application of masking tape and trimming tape the actual painting of the wheels was the easy part. I used DupliColour black engine...

    I know i should be rebuilding the carbs so i have ordered an O-Ring kit. As to whether i replace the intake and exhaust boots well that decision made itself as i tried to reinstall the carbs and there was no way the carbs were going back into the intake boots so i have ordered a set of them...

    I received the new seat cover and have got that installed. There was still enough metal in the base to rivet the cover down And the topside And here is the engine with the carbs out. Much better access to get at that corrosion.

    That is a kwaka in the background but that photo came from 2 owners before me so i don't know any more about it. I got some fibreglassing done on the seat base and it is now stronger than a wet tissue. I ordered a seat cover from the UK so once that arrives i will have it back together. Heres...

    This is more of a retrospective look at my first project as I bought this bike nearly 2 years ago, long before i discovered the GS Resources and I modified it over the following 6 month period. I thought you might like to see the final result anyway. This is how i bought it, the owner had...

    I have removed most of the grime and given it a bit of a scrub all over so I can see its real condition and I have decided on a plan of action as to how far this refurbishment is going to go. More of a touchup than a complete rebuild. Items to do Repaint the Fuel Tank, side covers and rear...

    First task was to dismantle the seat and see what state it was in. It didn't look great from the bottom but after a dab of rust converter it looked like it could be re-used. Once i pulled the foam off the true state become apparent The underside of the foam had a lot of rust stuck to...

    I first came across my project a while ago on the internet. It was missing an engine and i wasn't brave enough to take on such a project at that point so i let it pass. Nearly a year later it reappeared and this time it had an engine. I went to have a look and it fired up straight away...

    Hi There. Im Neil After nearly 2 decades away from riding I made a comeback a few years ago with a K7 GSXR750 and subsequently a K9 1000. Excellent bikes but the urge to buy a GSX like i had in the 80s eventually kicked in. I picked up a 1980 GSX1100ET which was in pretty good condition and i...
