Hey guys,
My current ride is a aprilia rsvr but I'm working on a new toy so i thought I might share my project it's a 1977 gs750 motor in a 1981 gsx 750 frame I was given a rolling chassis a motor and a whole heap of stuff in boxes. I've been sitting on this for awhile because I couldnt decide what to do with it or if it was actually worth putting time into but I aquired a turbo ..... that sparked some ideas so I hope to have a cheap rego bike that I can ride year round with a turbo!
i wish i had taken pictures of the bike from the day i got it, imagine 18 years sitting in the top of an old shed... it was home to all kinds of fury critters.
The motor is a total unknown it came from a TQ midget, all this is fabrication is a first for me so feel free to critique and share a better way to do anything.
I'm chewing over ideas how to feed the turbo I'm thinking a seperate system fed by a scavenge pump, the motors oil pressure is far to low to feed a turbo because it's a roller bearing crank, well this is what I'm told anyway, I've managed to take the exhaust housing off the turbo so I can index it, what a pain in the ass that was.
Anyways I'm fabing up an exhaust to feed the turbo at the moment, I just bent the headers because they where mangled now I'm just starting to make a 4 into one collector.
Sorry about poor quality pictures! must of had some dirty prints on the lens! ill upload better ones tomorrow.
ive just raised the bars on the aprilia by 20mm with a spacer and in the process of geting new brake lines and grips and leavers, its a rsvr converted to tuono
Ha, i just realised i put the swing arm upside down. i just needed to test fitment of exhaust piping.
