This was a lot of work. There were some things that were left out in the final timelapse build video that are explained in the individual parts of this build (mainly parts 5-10). So if you are watching and notice that I switched carb setups and turbo's, watch those earlier videos, they are more in depth and I explain what I'm doing. The bike runs great now (though it does burn oil because of the draw-through turbo setup) and makes a full 12 PSI of boost! Below are links for all of the parts I used, from the turbo setup to the electronics.

  • Check out the latest version of this bike, with Twin Turbo's, Fuel Injection, and Antilag! kzhead.info/sun/rKx_m8prgqKZhps/bejne.html *(original comment for context) I recently had a friend ask me if I realized how many ads were on this video, to which I replied, "no?" Holy cow! There used to be an ad break every 3 minutes. I've removed 5 ads from this video, and also removed the "non-skippable" ads as well. From now on and in the future, I will not allow an egregious amount of ads. Take care everyone, and enjoy the video!

  • For those of you who have questions about the build, read this comment, I might answer them. 1. The turbo setup went through many revisions, and the final setup didn't look very similar to the original setup. I changed the flex pipe section, the carb, the turbo, added flanges etc. I thought that it would add too much time and complexity to the final build timelapse, so I didn't include the changes + explanation in the final build timelapse. Watch parts 5-10 if you're curious about what I did. 2. Anything in the video that wasn't shown being painted was powdercoated. The frame swingarm, various engine mounts etc. 3. The astute among you will notice that the "continuity" of the video isn't "correct". For example, I'll be installing an engine cover, and then all of the sudden all of the screws will be in it. I did this to save tame, as well as cut down on boring, redundant parts of the video. 4. I wasn't even sure if it was going to make boost before tearing it down. Off camera, I tested the new setup, before tearing it down, ONE time up the street. It seemed like that in the higher gears, it was starting to build boost, but I still wasn't sure. It wasn't until I filmed the last minute of the video, literally that day, I discovered that the setup was sufficient to make full boost (10psi wastegate, 10psi boost). That day I filmed the video and it hit full boost, I screamed with excitement. I was so glad that the final setup worked, and I didn't have to mess with at any longer. Hooray! 5. I've very well aware, my welding skills to anyone who welds for a living are novice at best. I agree, let's move on. 6. The whole point of this build was to test my boundaries, to move the needle in my skillset. At no point during this build was I confident in weather or not it was going to turn out okay. This is the nature of delving into unexplored territory! There will be many times in your wrenching endeavors that you run into something you don't understand, and have to guess in order to hit your mark. This is part of the process! SO MANY people told me to buy a faster bike, to travel the road that others travel. Don't give in to this type of thinking! You are capable of much more than you think you are, all you have to do is get rid of these garbage beliefs about yourself and keep pushing through adversity. You will hit your mark eventually, with enough grit and determination, I promise! If you've read this comment all of the way through, I commmend you my friend! Whatever project you have in mind, now matter how ambitious it may seem, freaking go for it! What have you got to lose? Pride? Who cares! GO FOR IT MAN! -Jimmy Doctor Motorcycle LLC

I remember when "black motors" became all the rage in the 70's and everyone was pulling them out to paint em. That is an an intensive process and amount of work, and it shows...kudos.

This kid didn't need $100,000 in top-of-the-line tools and equipment. That is REALLY refreshing. I mean he put the motor back in on his garage floor, for Gods' sake. 2) No goofing around, just stripping it down, going over everything to diagnose what needs to be done, and he does it. 3) A Turbo?!. Holy Shit, nice! I must say, BRAVO dude, BRAVO! I subscribed and liked as fast as I could hit the buttons! This kid rocks! And, oh yeah, by the way...14 & 1/2 MILLION VIEWS. nice...

  • Almost 20 yrs ago, i had a Suzi GS450. 1980-82 (can't remember). I was always tearing it down for fun. Took the pistons out and lightened them up about 10% from the inside, making sure to maintain balance. I threw in some GS500 cams which made a difference. Drilled holes through the cylinder fins (making sure I was actually increasing surface area - too big a hole and you reduce it). had the head ported and polished and valve seats lapped, remade a lot of fasteners out of titanium and aluminum. I was in college and my dad had a lathe and end mill. I loved that bike. I ended up revving the piss out of it and blew a conrod bearing. I was always confused about the choice to use a 530 chain. Way overkill and heavy. Anyway, I enjoyed your video, all the little bits and bobs "under the hood" were mostly familiar.

  • Very inspiring work! As a metal fabricator and welder for 45 years I'd like to pass along a couple tips that may help. I know in my shop they are absolutely essential. Get a handful of Vise Grip clamps. I use an 11r style probably 90% of the time. Get some deep reach smaller ones also. WAY, WAY faster than C clamps! Also work at getting comfortable using a 4-1/2" angle grinder and get some recessed hub .045" thick cut-off wheels, 4-1/2". It takes a little experimenting with the various hubs that come with the grinder, and I've altered the depth/thickness of the 5/8-11 nuts and spacers, and even ground down the spindle a thread or so. The purpose is to get the outside face of the cut-off wheel totally flat so no part of the spindle or mounting nut is exposed. When done properly you should be able to cut things off flush. This is assuming you use the "ALL NEW INVISIBLE GUARD" You'll like this way better than the die grinder with a small wheel as it gives you much better depth and you don't end up needing to tilt the grinder as much to finish the cut. Plus it's much easier to follow a line. When you were cutting out the flange try to lay it out using one of the straight sides of the piece. Less waste and you eliminate a good chunk of the cutting! And lastly,( for now! 🤪) Get a couple of good tap handles. I bought several really nice ones at a flea market for about $5.00 each. A larger two handed one is great for big stuff and the others like I bought are two sizes of the smaller T handle style. Much easier to get things going straight. Hope this helps, and you have helped me get motivated to start back up on my 1980 KZ750 TWIN Cafe conversion. Stretched swingarm, WP monoshock from a 990 Duke, Ninja front end ( forthcoming) rearsets and upswept pipes. Yeah it's a work in progress. Those pesky Beta dirt bikes and trials bikes keep clamouring for my time, those rascals!!

    • @@DoctorMotorcycle I really liked how you kept the big picture in view. My work over the years has been a lot of high end architectural metal fabrication in stainless, bronze, aluminum and steel. Curved stainless and glass railings, bronze gates in a cemetery, custom steel and cable rails, sculptures, etc. And the problem I always seem to have is overthinking things too much. And needed in some cases with what I needed to make, but when it's for myself I have a difficult time choosing a path and commiting to it. I liked how you didn't worry about fit and finish until after the important parts were done. I turned 60 last year ( feel like I'm 40 !) ( Dirt bikes help, and being single!) but I'll tell you I could learn from you, and that's coming from a stubborn Norwegian bachelor welder!😉

    • @@jacko4483 Thank you again. Thank you also for the advice and compliments. I'm sure as a welder it's pretty obvious to you I'm an amateur at welding. Some of these posts on here about my lack of welding skills just wreak of arrogance and condescension. It's a cheap shot because It's one of my few weaknesses. I actually just purchased a chop saw, so cutting pipes nice and flush will be a breeze in the future. A mandrel bender, manual mill, and manual lathe are coming hopefully near the end of the year (I'm a machinist by trade). I look forward to hearing from you in the future builds Jack! -Jimmy
