More towards outrageous....definitely want a TR style cross through frame exhaust....just for looks
Also will need the frame cross braced at least.....if not something completely different/better
My RZV has become a financial vacuum.....may take a few months to recuperate my bike fund.....

Still need to try and get cylinders off the pistons....rusted pretty good.
Been soaking in oil for a few years, but need to get back at it after I get the 500 fired up and running.

Looks like a matching rear wheel will be a challenge to fit in your stock arm.
The front looks good though

Thanks 

Here is my other 78 GS1000
This bike was originally purchased as a parts bike for the above GS I already had.
But plans changed, and after about $4500 on top of the initial $400 Craigslist price....I had a running bike.

As far as GT750's go, this was one I cleaned up after the rear rack and huge fairing came off....and powerwashed 15 years of dirt from sitting in the horse barn it was in. This was my wifes favorite bike once it was cleaned up and running.



About as close to 100% as possible except the seat.....which is long story in itself....



Chicago Motoblot.



The last pictures I took for the guy who eventually bought it....another long story.
But the proceeds went to bringing my RZV into the country.



And this is the pile of parts I have still, that I consider to be almost a motorcycle... Another GT750J frame and engine

Other than that it's more or less stock RD.

I would guess closer to less  ;D

Thanks 

That drag bike looks sweet
Is that the one that was hanging off a wall or on the ceiling?
Are those LC cylinders or TZ parts on it?

GT on a frame jig.....damn you do sound busy....I need to find where you are when it warms up.
I need a destination to get some use out of my 1290 Superduke GT.
And a full on drag chassis for a GT also?

I have been saying for years I know....but after this RZV I am really going to try and do something with the GT I have.... :-[

This is the 4 stroke side of my garage....

I'll start with my oldest and work my way up.....

1978 Suzuki GS1000E
Sadly this bike has been sitting for over 12 years now.
I bought it and had planned on turning it into a full on AMA period correct Superbike.
Collected a lot of parts....but mostly dust as my two stroke projects keep pulling me away.












I eventually ended up pulling off the 29 smoothbores and cleaned them up and put them on my other GS1000 Left for Dead project



But I have a set of 33 smoothbore to go back on, along with a big port head and 1085 Wiseco kit.....and lots of other cool old parts....

Looks great with those Dymags.  Not yellow so it's slower than ours....

Don't piss off our dyno guy.  I have a pair of RD's to take there soon as well as the Phat Trakka (again).

I was wondering if you were on here. 
Did you get your GT over to the dyno, since last I heard from you?
You said you were having a problem getting all 3 to fire all the time?

A sneak peek at the RZV

Thanks guys 

All these years and it only has a little over 6000 miles.
But it has been fired up several times every year just to keep things working, and went through the carbs just last fall when I put it to sleep.
Planning on taking it to the dyno when I get my RZV500R done and broke in...dyno guy hates seeing me bring in strokers, but is usually impressed by the time I leave.

I guess we will have a go at this one more time.
Happy to see another place open for us stroker lovers again....

Where to start....?

Spring of 1985 I wanted in the worst way a RZV500R.....but realized at that point in time it would never materialize.
So I did the next best thing and bought a used RZ350......

35 years later and I still will never say goodbye.



After I painted bike in 86, I added Toomey pipes and carb kit.....and twisted the crank about 2 months after.
So I sent out the bad part to SPEC II and had them do a full stage 3 port and head work to it, along with a rebuilt and welded crank, bigger carbs, reed valves, and pistons.... Engine going back in



Rode for a few years, but other bikes were used more and more, and the RZ got pushed into various basements and rooms of homes for about 20 years.
Then....
Found a deal of a lifetime when I had the chance to swap out my perfect condition wheels and brakes to someone who had a set of Dymags..
.....even trade... I think I got the better end on that deal







AFter getting the Dymags on, I decided to take it back to original paint for it's 30th birthday.
So in 2014 my ZZ top style 80's paint had to go...kinda sad in a way as that was when I really had fun on the bike.
But it's still the same little screamer it has always been....





And a moment of fame along with some of it's roommates
