ZX750E (GPZ750 Turbo)
Just finished this one, Very low mile bike, The turbo unit was missing when I bought it, PO had a leak in the oil line 22 years ago and removed the turbo unit and sent it out for repair and forgot about it, Sat in the garage by a window which completely faded the paint,
I picked up a fully rebuilt and modded turbo for more boost from Charlie @ Evergreen Turbo in FL, Top guy, a genius with any turbo unit, Removed the airfilter and pipes and replaced it with a KN filter direct on the turbo.
Repainted by my guy, Took 4 months as hes seriously backed up, But turned out beautiful,
Stripped the wheels and cleaned them back to original, now that was a lot of hours, All new bearings in the wheels, all suspension bearings and head race bearings.I fitted a new oil pump and relief valve, modded the sump for more oil flow to the turbo, New clutch metals and fibers and fitted a Magura Hydraulic clutch as the OEM is a beast to pull, Valves all checked and adjusted, Fuel system completely stripped and cleaned and the tank was a rust hell mess!!!!
Lots of other small niggly things, replaced most of the nuts/bolts as they were all rusted out.
Brakes were completely stripped and new seals and pistons and pads, New Venhill brake lines also, Dot5 fluid and all good...
Sounds great :)

Re: ZX750E (GPZ750 Turbo)
VERY nice. You've got yourself yet another collector's item to add to the museum. I always liked the turbo bikes, though they really weren't practical. A also liked those original Suzuki Katanas, those with all the angles, from the same era.

Re: ZX750E (GPZ750 Turbo)
i had the Honda CX650T which was great but i couldn't keep up with the hens teeth sensors crapping out.
so a 4 cyl turbo would be even better.
