1992 750

23K miles.

Bought it for $600.00.

Needs a C.D.I...so I ordered a replacement and it came straight away.

Got it home and pulled off all the frat boy covers, and was pretty happy to see the condition of everything underneath. Good deals.

Spent a little time picking a tail... ended up going with a unit from Ziomek954RR on here.

It's a really nice simple unit that fits the bike awesome.

Got to chopping the subframe off and figuring out the angle of the tail for sure before I get to making a new subframe.

After looking at it for a bit, I decided to waterjet out some parts for a subframe instead of going full tube on it.

Got a little brake press work to do to get the subframe ready to weld up, but I'll update as I go.

Questions or comments completely welcome doodz.

Looks like a good start. What CAD package did you use to draw the part?

 

[mpls|cafe|racer]

For simple water jet stuff I just use Solidworks, output as .dxf for the flowjet.

For CNC mill/lathe I usually export from SW to MASTERCAM for tooling, or just draw straight from MasterCAM.

I love lamp.

Once this gets here I'm gonna design and 3D print a set of mounts. Something pretty simple I'm sure.

jesus. $600. I can't find not one GSXR oiler for a project less than $2000. I'm just having the hardest time finding any that are viable projects for fighter makeover. good deal for what looks to be a great bike! can't wait to see how this goes!

Mine's for sale for less than $2k but it's a 750cc.

Btw, interested in this project as well.

Later, Doug

Believe me I KNOW! You're right about 6 hours away from me so i'd make the drive. But I do not have that much monies to be throwing away right now. I mainly just enjoy complaining about the ridiculous prices i see these bikes fetching for nowadays. makes me die a little inside.

Printing a test headlight mount in ABS.

If all goes well, this is what the finished mounts will look like.

 

[escort1991]

That looks baller! Great start for sure!

I may need some mounts for me Triumph.

My lamp came today, so I'll be updating early next week with some pics of the final parts for the lamp mounts after they are 3D printed. Super pumped.

 

[mpls|cafe|racer]

The mounts I was planning for the lamp would look stupid, so those are scratched.

Gonna go a different route instead.

I'll update tomorrow. Gonna do some round bar mounts.

 

[Underachiever]

So no cool Suzuki S?

 

[mpls|cafe|racer]

Unfortunately, no.

The new lamp is a bit wider on the mounts than I thought it was going to be.

I *might* look into cutting off the stock mounts and printing new mounts that can be bolted to the stock lamp mount body, at which point, the idea WOULD still work... but I have an idea of how I could use some round bar to form out a mount set, and then weld in a piece.

Could still do the Suzuki "S" on it too. haha

Plug wires? Fuggidahbaaddit!

 

[Racing Geek]

Details on how to make them work?

Best writeup I've found.

 

[escort1991]

Interesting. Going individual coil packs to clean up wires and potentially run more efficient.

 

[Andler2008]

Wow wish I would've seen that for my old 1100. seems your best bet on these old oilers.

Very nice!!
