I've gone through and upgraded the primary chain, oil pump, carbs, electrics, full suspension and some other stuff. Then life happened and I haven't touched it since 2018.
I really need to finish getting it running/riding.

I just picked up an 05 636. How do you like yours? I’m still getting used to mine.
I really havent ridden it much . Fun bike .Im used to something with a little more grunt . It goes fine as long as you wind it up and shift a lot . I picked it up cheap as it didnt run right . Turned out it had water in the gas . Changed it out and runs like new . One of my sons rides it mostly;
Gpz 750 turbo The one I ride
Gpz 750 turbo Not finished
Gpz 750 turbo Not started
Gpz 550 1981
Gpz 550 1983

It is presently back on the lift undergoing a head transplant! It is an 83 Suzuki GS1100 and it's in the process of getting a cylinder head from a (late) 80s Maybe 1990, GSXR 750
Don't be ridiculous! It's only a flesh wound!

Got tired of looking at it in my livingroom and decided to plate it. Still have all the OEM rare parts to convert it back. But its a blast to ride.
Lowered, valved suspension. Engine is completely new, crank, piston, cylinder plating. Ported, case matched cylinder and cases. KDX wide ratio trans swap. E-Line stator with full electrical system. Custom aluminum and carbon fiber parts. Tons more mods. You can cruise at 70mph.

This has been my test bench & ongoing project for almost 30 years. It's my interpretation of an 80's Superbike, the kind you saw at Willow Springs or Sears Point, Laguna Seca when I was a young & impressionable kid
I was at Willow Springs the day a young kid named Kevin Schwantz was given a trial ride on a kitted out factory GS750. The field left while he sat on the grid, spotting everybody about 1/2 lap. He then took off, and proceeded to pass the leader on the fastest part of the track, on the outside, only two laps later. This must have been 40 years ago, but it's still etched in my mind!

It's too bad I didn't see you there that day. I would've said hey! I can still remember him wheelieing down the hill from the Budweiser Balcony. Yes he stood head & shoulders above the crowd that day! I was there supporting a young Tom Houseworth.
