Hi all,
Here is my winter project:
Will be doing a ELR clone from a 1982 GPZ1100 and a 1981 KZ1000J. From what I've found, the ELR is made frome parts of these 2 bikes. I'm using the GPZ frame since it is all in regulation. (the Kz haven't run for at least 8 years).
Usaualy, an ELR is a J bike with GPZ bodywork, oil cooler, footpeg, front brake and master cylinder and shifter linkage. The shock, seat and Kerker is unique to the ELR. Lucky for me, I've just bouth a pair of shock from a Zephyr which are the same except the color.
Since I'm using the GPZ as a base, I'll transfer the complete front end, motor, gauge, carbs, airbox from the KZ to the GPZ.
Here is the picture of the GPz and KZ before tear down.
Everything is now back from the powdercoater. Look like new! Here is a picture at where I am right now.
Engine has been repaint and a head job down. Can't wait to put back together and hear it running with the Kerker.
I'll try to post additonnal picture when the motor will be in.
BTW: Will have a load of part for sale. Mainly from the Kz1000J. PM me if someone interested in something.
Joce
