Fresh pile of crap to overhaul/IRAN.
That front m/c might be toast, but will assess after it comes apart.

Re: '83 GPz750-A1 malarkey.
Arsebiscuits. The difference is in the lower fork legs....
But! I did find EBC 270mm front rotors for $170 each. Haven't bitten that bullet yet
Need to have a major garage tidy up/sort out tomorrow & then finish assembling the carb rack. Found an errant float needle laying on the garage floor this evening.
It had better be from the spare rack (which was laying on the floor with the bowls & floats removed a few days ago). I'll check the spare rack tomorrow. FFS

Re: '83 GPz750-A1 malarkey.
Initial soak in Evaporust didn't seem to be doing the job, so decided to pop the sender unit apart... 
ARRGGHH!!
It's now in the small ultrasonic with water, SG-HD & some Evaporust

There'll be some serious weight reduction on that sender unit compared to OE.
There is no cloud, just somebody else's computer.
