I am rebuilding/detailing the engine out of my '82 GS750. A wiseco 816 kit, ported heads, K&N pods, jet kit, V&H header, hotter cams etc.
The head, jugs, block will be gloss black with polished side covers and stainless cap screws. Call me crazy for spending this on a 750.
I can't figure out what to do with the ignition cover. Can I get custom or new stock stickers for it?? Any ideas?

That head and valve cover look sweet !! You should be able to get the stock cover decals at the Slowzuki dealer.

You're crazy. At least on THAT model 750....:cool:
 
750s kick a$$. I have considered the same mods for my 750. I am curious as to how the performance will be increased. I will be watching this thread.

The head was media-blasted, then etch primed, painted , then put in the oven at 150F for 2-3 hours. The curing really made the paint look nicer:D
 
stickers

stickers

you can get them from a power sport dealer ordered from Suzuki they are around 12.00 each and they make the covers look new the crazy thing is they do 20 or more on eBay plus shipping I did the same thing on my gs 1000 and then high heat cleared them so I don’t have to polish all the time
p.s.
the rust on the clutch bolt really sets things off " nice touch" your self LOL

Yes, it will be stainless for that too. Its amazing, I thought it looked quite nice before and had lots of comments on it, but now that i take a closer look at the parts it is shocking. I CAN'T wait to get it back together, its gonna be so sweet.
 
I have seen aftermarket clear plastic ignition covers, in case you want to see the goings on in there.

Also various stickers such as Greatful Dead skull logos and such (as are on the front calibers of my 1000 Connie, put on by the PO).
 
I got my piston kit today, been waiting for this for a long time...:D

gday gearhead.Im at the same stage with my gsx750"80".Had the same issue with my covers ,left and right.So i took a linnisher to them,removed the ridge, pollished them up and i think theyre spot on.Not original,but im a function type of guy.And for the record,cafe child,i mean "kid",we all ride bikes ,NOT EGOS!! GROW UP. And have a fine Christmass!
 
Nice project. Those motor mods should really wake up your bike.

Do you have a "before" pic of the bike? Always cool to see the "before" from the start of a project and the "after" pics when it's all done.
 
Her are some before pics, one with the original exhaust and one after the header install.

Did you remove the crank or rebuild the bottom end?

I have an 82 750 and might just replace the #1 bearing and throw it back in the bike instead of going ahead with the 1100 swap.

Vac. petcock stuck open and washed out the #1 bearing.:mad:

I ran the **** out of mine and had no problems...its a stout motor.

Its completely apart. The main bearings look good and measure between 1.5 and 2 thou so I am reusing them, the rod bearings are a bit chewed up so I am replacing them.
Before the rebuild mine would do 100 mph in fourth way below redline. Any faster and I think my head would get ripped off from the wind:eek:
 
You may want to add an oil cooler and adapter to your shopping list with those mods as more power = more heat.

Yes, I would love to, but from my searches i can't find any way of putting one on my engine. Nearest thing I can see is an 1150 oil filter cover with the lines connected to it, but they were made for low pressure systems. I read that i could starve it for oil by using that cover.
