Welcome aboard! You're definitely in the right place and post some pics so we can follow the builds.

Awesome! MRGGG is Marco? POP-UP 004, STUNNING, Marco is a good friend and the 2 builds am doing right now would have been impossible without him! Thanks Pete
 
Hello Mates, MRGGG (Greg) here. Maybe there's two MRGGG's ? Anyway I have the number 177 limited Canadian Kat. I'm actually thinking of selling, just thinking about it right now.

Hi Ben - I think we have recently been in contact - chippy ( eBay) I’m glad you joined - wealth of knowledge and a few Canadian cousins on here. Regs Shane

Good stuff- I didn’t realise but somebody has included a modern colour coded schematic for the e28 Canadian - I still don’t know if white LTD has the same wiring a Canadian silver bike. In most cases white and silver differ - fuel gauge- different dash clocks etc. headlights wiring a module different. Look I. The information section there is a list of things to download. Best regards Shane
 
Shane thank you so much for this information, I got this bike in a compulsive way, so now I try to find a way to like it! The silver is not as sexy as the white Kat but I think I'll be able to make something out of it, so this is an E28? I will definetely download all that I possibly can, I might rely on you and this forum to get more info...thanks

Wow she’s nice mate- full resto. Cmsnl.com.nl still has some parts and a great company. Gr72A shares many parts and its chassis no for gsx750s3 in Japan domestic market. Gsx750se 83-88 or gs750e ( USA) found many bits this way- looks like you have found Brian from bdesigns in Canada? Paint and decals look new. Marco be the expert in Canada I figure- he’s rebuild both Canadian models to perfection.i think the silver model may be rarer than the Ltd.
 
Thank Shane for the kind words! And also thanks Marco for supplying some rare part ie.; the Air Box and exhaust! The bike was wearing a 4 in 1 Wolf pipe! Yes I know Cmnsl they are of great values for us rebuilders...same as this thead so happy to have land here, 2 things I love the Australian's and I'm not a social media fan so....awesome info's about the relation to other frame number, strangely I have a GS750SZ 1982 with the same frame number GR72A instead of the usual GR71A? Not sure what happen here? Bit thanks for the référence as I might need stuff that is impossible to find! Lots of work, research and patience and money invested in those rebirth,( but you make connections with fatastic people) when I bought a RD350LC to rebuilt I went crazy and got this kat 82, the Popup and a GPZ750R1 1982, the last bike was near perfect but I was overwelhm, I exchanged it for a DT200R 1991, not sure if I did the right thing? Time will tell! Iol will keep you posted with the progress!
