Gt 750

does anyone know where i can lay my hands on a diaphrams for an old Kawasaki GT750. need a set of four and priced them at a company who supply parts for these bikes which are difficult to get.

Asked the price

£80 says guy

for 4 thats great

no

for 2

£80 each

so if i can't find cheap replacements or an alternative make of carbs + diaphrams that will fit the GT, i will have to by them and thats more than the bike cost to buy. any ideas anyone

Re: Gt 750

as you suggested, tried ebay. Carbs from a 1987 GT750, would these fit my 1983/84 GT?

Re: Gt 750

as the gt is basically the same engine as z but shaft the z750 carb parts will probably fit and busters/m and p etc do pattern ones at around 30 quid each, all you've to do is phone a kwak dealer and ask.

i've got corner speed, it's control i struggle with!
