Did you replace the plain plates.
These are the symptoms of warped steels.

All 750 motors are based on the 650, even the Zephyrs .
Carb spacing is the same.
Much like the 900/1000/1100 development they didn't change much so most engine parts are interchangable.

Main bearing cap has been machined for the support plate so the bottom end can be finally rebuilt. PICT0315_zpsf9db7a87.jpg Barrels bored to take the 72mm MTC turbo pistons, rings have been gapped and fitted to all except no-4 piston which will be used for deck height and valve clearance checking o...

A whack with a rubber mallet front and back on the smooth protrusions of the camchain tunnel never fails.
You haven't forgot the two 10mm bolts near the outer spark plugs though have you ?

Joe hooper at Pitstop performance.
Average price for piston kit in uk is £525.
Price from Hoopers around £290 (depending on exchange rate) + shipping and customs still ends up around £100 cheaper.
Delivery time is around 2 weeks.

Yep!
Can't beat his prices.

Postie finally delivered a big box of goodies from the US . Almost every internal part is being replaced . PICT0304_zps6dd583da.jpg Even bought a complete refurbed undercut gear cluster. It's a joke that this item shipped from the states cost nearly half the price delivered than the cheapest quote ...

Looking for some Z9/1000 slip on exhaust spigots .
Similar type of thing to what's in the pic.
Prefer stainless but owt considered.

I didn't use the XJR muddy at all. I cut out the ally plate the same width as the forks and guestimated the length needed (it could always be trimmed later) the ends were then radiused to match the width. I used black marker grid lines as a guide. Beating along the length pushed the metal sideways t...

Simoniz/Sperex tough black.
This is the closest thing to PJ1 you can get.
The Techcote is shite, I bought 8 cans when PJ1 dissapeared and still have 7 and a half of them on the shelf.
Just whisper "petrol" near it and it falls off even after baking.

Mudguard mounted. Not a lot of scope with the forks only having mounts on the front of the legs so some alloy 'Y' brackets are the best solution. I plan to paint them black so they blend in and the polished guard will float above the tyre. PICT0280_zps619a15e6.jpg A quick mock up with the bodywork ...

KZT00D = Z1R motor.

the 3mm was prob a pain in the arse to shape, but with the trade off of being plenty strong and plenty aluminium to sand smooth Yeah! that was the idea (and it's the only thickness these road signs come in :lol: ) got it down to less than a 1/3 of a mill removed so plenty strong. Just need to conju...

you need to make an English wheel Did make one years ago for car panel work using a big roller bearing etc and it sat gathering dust and taking up space so gave it away as i never intended doing that sort of work again.. Would have been no real use here though as the alloy is 3mm thick so the main ...

Made a start on trimming the XJR front mudguard. PICT0255_zps19d08337.jpg But for one reason or another i wasn't happy with it PICT0248_zps0cbc1fd9.jpg Decided to go back to plan A and have a crack at whittling some of that alloy road sign Guesstimated the shape i needed , cut it out and beat the c...
