    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

  • In order to help others find info on a particular bike, be sure to put the year, make or model of bike that you are asking a question about, in the Topic Title. This will allow people to pass by posts they have no interest in.

Been a 82 GPZ750 on UsedVic for a bit now.I emailed the owner last weekend,got a reply yesterday.Looks like quite a nice little project but the ad expired so I can't link to it:mad:I'd really rather be looking at a GPZ550 but the 750 would be cool to.Now should I do the paint Firecracker red or go Kawi green:D
 
Nice bikes. Not a huge fan of the green. Red looks nice, but pretty common.
 
And put an 1127 GSXR engine in it. Fit's nicely and flies! Just check out the German ELR site.

There seems to be a pattern to your various responses Greg.:-k Mod the hell out of everything!:cool:
 
Unfortunately yes, It's hard to resist. As the 1127even weighs less that the old 750 engine.
I have pics of this somewhere as well.

Green is good

As of right now I have 2 red bikes:

and

So going red isn't what the wife or me for that matter really wants to do.Srsupertrap's pic says to me it would look pretty damned good.I think gmansyz is selling a 1127 GSXR engine as it seems to fit in all kinds of bikes:rolleyes:.I'm a keep it original for the most part kind of guy and would keep the Kawi engine thanks.I just hope we can make a deal if it's in good enough shape:pray:
 
I love the Green 550 there!!!!!
Yes, the 127 fit's in a lot of things, but no interest so I need to hold on to it. I just had an inner hub modded to fit the 6-speed.

Or you could pop a GSXR 750 engine in it if you want to keep it a 750.
 
Every time I see a nice Gpz550 my heart sinks a little. I had an absolutely MINT specimen that's the one and only bike over my 35 years of riding that I regret selling.

LOL,I thought so.I'd still keep the Kawi engine,not really looking to change it out.Have to go to the upholsterer tomorrow to sort out the new cover for the 750.Hopefuly looking at the GPZ on the way back.It was looking rough in the pic,just the way I like them;)
 
Understand why you want to go green given the abundance of red in your family. I like stock colors myself (nobody cares). But good on ya for bringing rough specimens back to life.
 
don't understand the question. Are you asking if there is a good forum dedicated to restoring GPZs?

One word answer is yes.Just been poking around KZR a bit,seems like the GPZ is in they're base.
 
kawasakimotorcycle.org maybe - KzRider, lots of good info on those -

I'd stick with Firecracker Red - or 'Arrest Me Red' as my firends call it -

Paint Code EA - 1991 Mercury Cardinal Red is perfect.
 
I have read my husbands posts and he is right I did say no more red bikes for now he already has two. Now everyone knows what my favorite color is, and I don;t even want that. I would like to see it green or candy apple red. But when all is said and done my hubby knows that what ever color he chooses I will like!
