New Here With My Latest Project!

[Curlytops]

Hi... Just thought Id say hello and post some pics of my latest project. Got this from a dealer who wanted it out of the way, someone tried to steal it and wrecked the wires trying to hotwire it. Runs and rides fine so gonna sort the wires and get it out on the road! To be honest ive never heard of a Inazuma ... Im assuming it sharers parts with other models if I need any bits...they seem to be a bit sparce here in the UK.

Welcome!

For all intents and purposes, the 'zuma is a twin shock bandit.  Very modifyable and can be made into a pretty cool bike 

Get a project thread going and some more pics! We like pics..

[Duckndive]

Eblag France and Germany can be useful places to find Zuma bits...

But as said lot of bandit and gsxr parts are same ..

[TonyGee]

yeah the UK did get a small amount of 750's but not so much the 1200.  its very similar to the bandit and lots of interchangeable parts. 

I bought a 750 zuma frame and put a 1200 bandit engine, then fitted some katana bits.

Welcome, Curly! As the guys say, start a project thread.

Welcome to OSS 

[Curlytops]

Thanks for the welcome..I shall start a project thread tomorrow when its delivered... thanks for the parts info I was beginning to wonder where I would get bits from! 

[davecara]

Get your thread going, you’ll get everything you need here

Howdy doody curly, that's a nice project. 

[Tony Nitrous]

Welcome. I look forward to seeing more.

The 7 and 12 Inazuma’s and the GS1200SS aren’t common oilcoolers around here, or ones I’ve owned, but I do find them interesting.  I’ve owned a couple of K*w*saki 750 Zephys and the Inazuma has very similar styling, but much more appeal with its oilcooled lump. 

Certainly a bike on my watch list.

My 750 Started like this 

And Now looks like this with 1216 motor

1200 Zuma has Brembo Brakes as Stock 

750's Use Blandit 600 discs and calipers 

Dont know about 250,s 

[Jonny]

Always liked these bikes. Much better to look at than the Blandit!

[Kimberkatana]

Wouldn't mind finding one of these  ! Then persuading the house beast it'd be a good addition to the garage !! 

[Curlytops]

Anyone know if the bandit rear grab rail for the pillion will fit... mine has a rack on which im going to remove so need the stock rail.

mk1 bandits have 2 either side but the mk2 is one piece,  don't know if it'll fit though. ?

Well got the front of the inazuma all put back together and the wires sorted. Runs and rides perfect, next job is to paint the rack and torque arm on the rear brake and then bleed the brakes. Then its off to the MOT station where it will hopefully pass.

Great job on bringing another old skool suzook back to life 

[Fatmama]

yeah, Inazumas are fun.

check the Tank, the 750 have tank rust issues and the tanks are the hardest parts to source, near unbtainium.

France and Germany have biggest communities and forums for them

 

welcome to oss.

 

[wraith]

Think he has sold it, or it was on FB for sale

[Panos]

The police used 750s here (Greece) i have seen ads for parts of them from time to time , maybe i can help if you cant find something .

[Curlytops]

Yep the Inazuma has left the fold...its been ridden around the York area by its new owner... am at present in negotiations for an accident damaged Bandit 1200 from the back of mi mates garage.. but while im awaiting that project T595 Triumph Daytona gets delivered tomorrow.
