I bought a 1982 GPz750 in the fall.
It's looks rough but the engine only has 14k miles. I cleaned out the carbs and gas tank and it runs like a top. I did a leak down test and the top end seems really good. The only problem is that it does have the 2nd gear problem that needs to be fixed so it means splitting the motor.
The crank cases have some corrosion beginning to show through, particularly at the front and back where all the crap from the wheels was hitting, so while they are split I was thinking about having them powder coated.
I've tried a number of places and a few forum members and they are either not interested as the masking is something that they don't want to do or they just didn't respond. Chassis parts like the frame and wheels is not a problem.
Any suggestions? I'm in Trenton but my in-laws are in Scarborough so I'm there at least once every 2 weeks.
Mods, feel free to move if this is in the wrong section.
TIA
