Methinks so it's more "period" & i use that term loosely, i'm considering swapping out the front end for a B12 one.
Only things i need is headstock bearing swap(s) & number(s) of them.
Preferred ABM top yoke or risers to fit std yoke to take the Fatbars i have already, 4 pot 90mm calipers & a speedo worm drive.

More stripdown (between new carpet & windows fitted) this bike is in a right mess!

Cool.
Don't forget... You *might* get stung with import duties.
You "WILL" get stung! I work for RM & am constantly posting cards for duties due for US, Japan & Canada bought goods

Definitely not Gloss, original Yosh builds were always flat/matt black

Any recco's then for next engine paint?
Did a search for the old VHT make, but everyone uses them letters to describe their version!
-
I think the choice of paint hasn't helped.
I've used other Matt Black engine paint that was quite dark & has given no trouble, but this one is more grey & hasn't held up so well.
Not a clue what make either were as i've binned the empty cans!

Always liked this bike.
New colour scheme planned on plastics/tank?
Nah, the paint is the only thing that a quick polish will have it as new! It's the mould on the engine paint & grips that has me baffled?
-
4 years of stood still, mould dirt & dust hvae took their toll.
So off with seat & tank, which btw has 1/2 a tanks worth of fuel still in it! Onto ramp & the strip begins

After doing a Man Clutch (GS1000) it will feel light as a feather

And given a choice, i'd choose the smallest one as it'll move less fluid

As per my comment about removing piston, i found another slave in my er "collection" & it is also a different size.
Could be interesting as i ordered a seal to fit the GSX1100F which is common for B12 & GSXR750F/G/H so i wonder too what the slightly smaller one is off?
The difference on the sprocket cover too is the 1100F has vent slots in bottom & the other has cast non vent?

How much was that in total mate, with the coating
IIRC the zorst cost around £360 & coating was £300. £660 total, which pretty much equates to an off the shelf price.
Could be cheaper if you don't have the ceramic coat on the inside too

Yeah, that one is nice too. Does that ceramic coating actually work though? Does it stand up to riding in the wet? If so, I may have to consider getting the Kerker done, as the heat resistant flat black paint is fairly useless.
I think Exhaust Craft is the way to go. Obvious really! Stop being tight and get on with it. I will have to ask if Dave can modify the bends to get the centre stand to squeeze in though, I would miss that even though I know they look ugly.
Ceramic coated inside & out. The inner helps with gas flow apparently, but the outer stays flat & clean all the time in all weathers. Just a quick wipe down with a wet cloth.
Had an issue with the downpipes going blue after a year or so, but Camcoat (Warrington) recoated them FOC when i emailed pics of it
-
ExhaustCraft here too, SS pipe made to order with a oneoff flat collector box, then ceramic coated by Camcoat

Right, having 2nd thoughts about taking this any further. Time mostly has made me rethink if i can be bothered, so may well sell the lot.
This is what i have:
X7 sprinter virtually complete with GSX tank & a race seat. No V5
Spare frame uncut but no V5
Spare frame minus sidestand lug with V5
Nearly a dozen wheels, 2 freshly P/coated in gloss black & lacquered.
Spare engine, needs completing/rebuilding.
Several Carbs, one pair completely refurbed & new parts fitted, plus lots of bodies & spares.
Several containers with many Engine/G-box/Lekky/etc parts available.
RD250 complete front & rear ends.
Gen X7 tank in primer plus the GSX tank & a heavily filled X7 tank too.
X7 swingarm needs a clean.
Engine stand, new for X7.
Probably more stuff not mentioned, but that's the gist of it. I will run this in the "For Sale" section if you knowledgeable folk reckon all of it is worth £2.5K?
Pretty sure if i sold it as individual lots i could probably get more, but one big joblot makes more sense
A few pics of what i have.

Answered my own question, having trawled Fowlers Fische's i have spotted the GN125 are the same

Question for the masses.
I have several rear wheels that need a refurb, but i've noticed a couple of them have a 1 piece cush drive rubber with a central ring, as opposed to the what i thought normal 6 seperate pieces.
Anybody know if these wheels are off summat else & not X7?

Not done it, but that's news to me?

Explains a lot. If i hadn't had the tank hydro dipped, i'd consider having it cut & flattened as it's never gonna need a large tank of fuel.

Thanks, that answers my question

Always had a thing for Purple haze myself

Just removed the BST34's from the drag bike & transferred all the new hoses i had fitted to the BST38's.
Then i noticed that the vac hose was spare & thought there's nowhere on carbs for it to fit.
Also fitted the Carb rubbers & No4 has a spigot with a cap. Would this be the Vac hose connection?
-
Maybe the lack of space is the 11 engine & tank in a 750 frame?
Old Girls sad look :(

This is the exact colour/finish i want
