Fixit

Cheers everyone, looks like a few of you have been here ! i've got the camera on my phone fixed so i'll b e posting pics of the rebuild to this thread as i go.

I'm in Wellington, have you been out this way ?

Thanks, would love to add some pictures but the camera on my phone is broken, hopefully will get some up as i put it back together.

So my Katana Popup has an R703 motor, its pretty tired so picked up what i thought was a low (33kms) replacement. The motors look almost identical but the low mileage motor has a K75 engine code. The only differences i can find are that the replacement motor has gold covers and a large retaining washer on the front sprocket to stop the nut coming off. Does anyone know what the difference is with the two engines ? been trolling the net all day and come up with nothing. Cheers for any help anyone can offer because im stumped ....

Hey everyone, I'm new to the site. I recently bought an old 85 Gsx750S, its the popup headlight model. Te bikes done around 130kms and is a ground up rebuild, the motors got no compression and its definitely seen better days. Over here in the might New Zealand there's still a few floating around and they're not overly hard to get parts for, i've got a Bmw K100 i'm rebuilding as well and turning it into a cafe racer. I've also gt an old Fireblade 900 that i rebuilt a few years ago now. I bought the Katana because they've always been retro cool, my father n law was recently made redundant so its really to give him something to get interested in again. I've found an old set of VM29SS carbs which i'm chucking on it and just trying to sort a better shock (probably a Ducati shock) and a better exhaust system. I'll post some pictures as i go in case anyones interested. I used to be a fitter and turner so pretty happy floating around my workshop when i get a chance. One of the things i'm trying to do is put a newer exhaust on as the current one is a bit stuffed, i've been looking through the forums and still a little stuck as to what fits. I know its probably pretty common knowledge on the site but can anyone tell me what later exhaust are a good fit ? Thanks and look forward to chatting to you all.
