  1. The one I took apart years ago was just a lever with the output closer to the pivot than the input, I am sure i have seen someone on there make a longer lever and offset the cable clamp/adjuster point.

     Found it.

  2. The GS750 would have ball bearing headstock bearings originally, the taper roller bearing would be aftermarket and hence no way of removing except welding. If you are just after a measurement for the length of the stem then you can reinstall the GS750 stem and see how much is sticking out the top, then measure stem to where the bottom bearing seats onto the stem, subtract the stick out from the stem to bottom bearing length gets you your length. Don't know if this is any help.

  3. My next project on is turning a gs750 frame into a katana (with an air cooled motor), got the frame and there is a lot differences, headstock takes different bearings in my frame 48mm od top and bottom versus 47mm top and 55mm bottom, but this can be sorted buy different bearings. The lock stop is different (offset tab versus plates on the frame). Lower engine mounts tab and plate, loads of brackets and reinforcements missing, side stand brackets different, some kinks in tubes by the side stand and on the opposite frame rail. Swing arm pivot looks smaller diameter. Not got to this project yet so could be loads more, if I had to get a frame now, I think I would hold out for a gsx frame because this is going to be a lot of work.

    The pressure switch port in the oil filter cover is unfiltered so don't attach it there, the picture shows the plug for the main oil gallery (red arrow) which could work, I don't know where the oil restrictors (orifice) would be on the later engine but one should be used.

    While I was removing the calipers and the forks are off I thought I would do a little cleaning... then i saw this... WTF?

    Never noticed that bolt before.... looks like a drain? Anyone know? Have not tried to undo yet. Also drained the oil cooler after all there was a mix of petrol and oil in there.

    Cranks case is still empty, planning to fill it and spin the crank tomorrow, some oil will come out the timing cover but I don't like there being no oil in the crank case!

    It is a plug for the cross drilling for the oil pressure relief valve and cooler bypass, it would normally be a socket head plug like No10.
