Sky's restoration begins...
by Skyguyz ยป Fri Jul 05, 2019 8:57 pm
With a wealth of information provided by the forum members here I have started down the GT750 rabbit hole of no return. The carbs are in Bazs's very capable hands, (All the way from Las Vegas, USA) and the crank is at Bill Bune's machine shop, (Well know in the states for GT750 crank & machine work.) The engine cases have been cleaned and are the way soon to "Restocycle" here in Tucson AZ USA. These guys are the best at vapor blasting and vintage Japanese motorcycle restoration. Check them out! : https://www.restocycle.com/japanese-mot ... estoration
The new Wiseco piston set has been ordered and the cylinder and heads will be bored, honed and chamfered and will be tuned to OEM compression ratio by the associate machine shop of Restocycle. I have one of Baz's DVD with more to come as help.
The parts list is long and many. I am compiling many vendors worldwide to complete this project. I have nothing but time to do this. This will as they say "Take twice as long and cost 3 times as much as you estimate". When you undertaker such a project you have to realize your "limits of expertise." This is where you guys come in. I will be asking a few noob questions and already you have provide much help. Thanks. Lets get this thing going and may the Motorcycle Gods have pity on my poor soul.
