Hi, a newbie here...

[Jerry Clair]

David,
Most of us are of the cica '95-'98 here. '83 GPz is a killer bike!
But there is a good yahoo group, hopefully you can join that from hotmail.
If not, it would be worth your  time to open an account to join.  anyways:
http://ca.groups.yahoo.com/group/gpz1100ownersgroup/
Mitch is the adminstrator there, I think. Great guy from the left coast of Canada
There are some good links there too including a parts breakdown by VIN.
Piecing a bike back together, ebay will be your friend.
Stack around, you will learn alot from these guys here too.!
Even the ones who have moved on to "better bikes" ha

He decided he was never going to ride again, and gave the bike to my friend. After cleaning out his garage, he decided he will never do anything with it, and offered it to me for free. So here I am. I have some questions though.
It needs alot of work (which is why it was free)
So, what other bikes have compatible parts for this bike?
I found a speedometer from a 1983 Ninja 1100 for 100 bucks, will it fit?
I also found a fairing off a 1983 GPz 750, will that fit?
What other bikes can I pull parts off of? (or where can I find some cheap, used parts, I have already checked junk yards)
I need the forks (if I can find em cheap, otherwise I may get them straightened because they are bent)
Speedo cluster
Fairings
Headlight
Windscreen
Turn signals
 
Can anyone give me a point in the right direction?
