Kawasaki GPz750 Custom by Paul Hutchinson

This Kawasaki called “Saki” GPz750 was build by Paul Hutchinson from Melbourne, Australia.

Paul Hutchinson says: "I have finally finished my second build after 18 months, a 1983 Kawasaki GPz750. It was a gift from my cousin, and hadn’t run for about 8 years. The last time he tried to start it, it nearly burnt down his house when it caught fire!

It now has a 1996 Honda VFR750 rear end, and a 2009 Yamaha R1 front end. I did a complete rebuild, with a 810cc big bore kit.

I rewired from scratch using Motogadget gear, including switches, indicators, RFID keyless ignition and alarm, and a Koso speedo. I also mounted a bi-xeon projector beam in the stock headlight.

The fairing is the stock item, with filled indicator mounting holes, but I lowered the upper fairing and tilted it forward so the lines of the fairing and tank lines now flow together. I had to cut and remould the mid fairing panels to align with the belly pan.

I loved the rear section, but wanted a single seater, so took about 6 inches out of the subframe.

The paint is by Steve May at Lizard Designs, who mixed the Kawasaki racing green with metal flake covered with matte clear."
