Will be getting this home as soon as we can.Yes the rest of the parts are with the bike.All the plastics are in primer and in great shape,the tank is not quite as good but will be good with some work..Brand new battery,plugs,oil filter and fork seals come with it to.Title in the sellers name means 1 less worry to.This is my winter project for 2014-5 but some stuff like frame paint will be done this summer.Only thing that looks out of place IMO is the chrome V&H 4>1,not quite sure what to do about that :blink:

Good luck on your build

I had an 82 gpz 750 and didn't know till I sold it that it was rare.. Sold 10 years ago and had parts from the 83 on it aluminum swingarm and a couple other items..

One of my favorite kawis of all time.. Weight ride and power was fantastic and I believe the tank held a lot of gas..

I beat mine pretty bad back when I was younger..

I'm looking forward to seeing yours..

Hint hint .. Eddie Lawson replica..

Thanks F1schumie I'm happy that I'm bringing it back to.So is the seller so it's pretty much a win all the way around.Lots of things changed with the 83.It will be a bit before I REALLY dig into this as I have a few projects to finish up this summer.Done quite a few Suzuki's over the years but this is my first Kawasaki.

Oh well, sometimes you have to know when to call it quits. I'm sure this one will turn out nice.
