I have had this bike for about 10 years now and have given it a complete rebuild from top to bottom. Below is a list of just about everything that has been done with it.
Rebuilt brake calipers completely
Upgraded SS brake lines
2007? ZX10R...
Thank you. I haven't visited this thread in a very long time. My poor bike has been sitting in the shadows of my garage for 2 years due to oil leaks. I'm going to start working on it soon to get it ready for sale. Let me know what you need help with. I links for everything.
Hello there. I have an 850 that I converted to a cafe bike. It started out as a 1977 750. I swapped the engine to a 850 and am currently overboring it to a 900cc. Let me know if you have any questions or need any parts and I'll do what I can. Check out my build thread when you get a couple of...
Thanks Beldrueger for the link. It will give me some ideas. I can't believe they were running that intake manifold and carburetor on top of points. Looks like a scary combination.
Yes, I am going with the Wiseco pistons. I found two sites that sell them.

I neglected my carburetors a couple of months ago and killed the engine. It ingested a screw and caused cylinder 1 to start knocking badly. I have since ripped the engine apart and put everything in body bags. The engine just got measured at the machinists and is getting glass bead blasted and...
Sweet build so far. Those wire wheels are indeed extremely rare. I believe there were around 2,000 sets made world wide but don't quote me on that number. One member from the yamaha forum sold them for a lot of money. I've done just about everything you can do to these bikes. I'm slowly going to...
Why does everyone have to steal the xs750 tanks? There rare enough for the people that actually own them. I'm scared to death if anything were to happen to mine. It might be worth more than the bike someday. HA!
That is a great looking bike though.
Today I learned that hillbillies can make up some funny words occasionally. Today's word was garbaged.
How it was used:
What did you do with those parts? Were they garbaged?
Cracked up everyone at work for a good hour and we learned a new word. All he could say back was F U!
Plastic Casting Technician. I pour stuff in a mould...it cures...then I do it again. Not very exciting but I'm involved in major changes towards optimizing the company and other processes. We are also getting into painting and chroming of patient education models and hope to break into the...
Let me know how the shocks work out for you. I put Progressive 412 shocks on mine and they are brutal. No forgiveness at all. I also like taking corners at full speed.
There is not a whole lot you can do in the handling department for these old bikes. The aftermarket is ok for options depending on what type of bike you have. I'm pretty sure most of us like to keep the bike as stock as possible. Once you start changing out swing arms and front forks you can...
