Gday Everyone...........

[TwinMatch]

Hi to everyone out there.

Just joined the forum so I might as well introduce myself.

I have a 1985 GSX750S Kat which I am endeavouring to streetfighter.
You dont see too many of the things out and about - so I thought a 'fightered kat might raise a few eyebrows!:D

I also have a motard for daily use to and fro - a DRZ400sm.

I hope to post a few before and after photos soon - as I have been working on the kat for the last few weeks.

Cheers

Welcome aboard TM, look'n forward to see what you can do to the Kat.

[bigbike-r]

welcome bud
do you have an idea wot yer gonna do to it yet?

[TwinMatch]

Thanks guys,

Yep - sort of. The trouble is that there arent too many fightered ones about to get ideas from. This is a new frontier. It already is missing the fairings and headlight so i have a blank canvas for it.

Things i have got but yet to install:

1. 93 gsxr rims (gold) front and rear
2. swingarm conversion
3. Fat bar and clamps, mirrors
4. Gxsf seat

The rest i am still sourcing i.e;

5. Fork stiffeners
6. Pods
7. Headlight / front end - not sure which way to go single or duals or square with kat screen???
8. Tail section

Bugger it - I'll go and take a photo for yas.

Thats the worst part Davo......I bought the DRZ then 2 weeks later i got the streetfighter bug searching around for bling for the motard - I came across this site!
No choice on the gold wheels - they were whatever i could get my hands on - nothing powder coating cant fix. Bloody expensive looking for 2nd hand parts in oz.
I'll keep posting pics every now and then to keep you guys laughing....

There's loads out there for inspiration.
Tony, have you got that photo of that beefy purple Kat with mad stripes from the UK about 10 years ago?

[Rocket]

Gidday TM, you're in Perth aren't you mate ?
From PSB ?

[zx12argh]

Welcome aboard mate - Those Kat's are almost horn enough for me to buy a Suzuki...

Almost. Good luck matey.

[Jockney Rebel]

theres a pop up u ebay for a thou or two looks clean too

[catchmeifyoucan]

welcome to the madness mate, good luck with your project..

[TwinMatch]

Yeah Rocket - from up north of WA! But I do post on PSB sometimes.

Cheers guys for your welcomes -

One thing is for sure - she will be unique. There wont be much kat left in her by the time I finish - so it's a matter of finding the right balance between the new stuff and trying to keep some part of her that is recognisable as a kat.

As you guys say....let the madness begin!

[exile]

Hey m8 welcome.....


Mmmmmm, i lurve blank canvases to make my juices flow :D
I reckon a set of USDs up front 04 R1 seat unit/subframe would look the nuts on that [8D]

[TwinMatch]

Good ideas exile!
I like getting suggestions about what to mod and install.
Keep them coming - I am open to opinions about what to do on it.
