Just incase anyone is interested. Mono shock conversion, steering modded as well.

It might just be me, but the Katana is one of the few bikes
that I wouldn't be keen to change the bodywork on.
Mechanicals yes, but its the bodywork that makes it a Kat.

I agree wif Tony..... I love the look of the old Kat's. TLR tail ruins it...

as someone with a pretty unique combo of a TLR and a kat sitting within about 3m of each other at the moment this is interesting to see

there is a LOT of chassis cut out of the frame, and i wouldnt be sure how an rta engineer would feel about it

also, looking at where the pod filters on my kat end (K&N's) that shock mount would be pretty close to them.
not a major point but something to consider if you interested

with the TLR rear end as well, the normal shock has a rocker that goes from the chassis to the swinger to the shock.
im not sure what shock he is using there but it would have to be a different style and i'd say probably a shoter length

the tlr tail? well, it didnt look good on a TLR so not sure how it could look good on a kat [XX(]
