I paid the bike 50$, and that's CAD! + second bike for 300 with good engine
(190PSI all 4) bored to 600cc + 350 on parts = 700 (+ another 200$ in
various parts), so for about 1000 i should have a nice vintage 1983 GPz 550
(600).

I also owned a 1998 Kawasaki ZX-RR, that is for going 160mph when am tired
of driving at 55 (he he he), it's a good balance!

Whne am finish with that, i need to decide which kind of carburetion i put
on my 73; old Solex's (still working, poorly but working - Brand new single
Weber - used 78 FI (missing the PVC valve/breather), so i have 3 choice!!!

Conclusion: The Solex suck, the FI needs a very good cleaning and checking,
the Weber is dificult to tune. Rebuilt heads arrived yesterday, am using the
old pistons as they are well within specs. FI fuel tank installed.

I think i will have to use the Weber for this summer, if i want to use that bus.

Cheers, Ben
