It's been a bit but the turbo conversion is complete. I bought a 1978 KZ650B and did some suspension work before getting back to the rusefi conversion. Currently that 650 motor is still in the bike, but I have the 750 motor that's been built and bored to 810.

I've been working on the tune as i could the past week and got pretty far once i had a more stable usb connection for autotune. now the problem is that the clutch in the 650 motor is useless above 5psi or 4krpm. the built motor needs to go in ASAP!!!
