Righto all you owners of dormant Katanas...

[ozzy1100]

Nah, need to get my lathe sorted before I get stuck into any of those shenanigans.
I'll be interested in what u do, it's the one thing I can't stand about the air cooled motors

[Gix11]

That wouldn't cut the mustard for you would it Craig?

[craig]

It's one those things that's just nice to have around. I've got a GSX 1100 ez that will someday get the upgrades, I don't think the 750 is worth changing to much.

I know it's not the full blown 1100 katana but it still a kat isn't it.

No.
Kats are 1000's or 1100's.

Thats a Kitten.

Current Sinners list;
Iceman (yes, Popups are allowed ;))


Yes I know it's a pop tart but it's allowed in this thread.;)

[craig]

And if you want to go hard core Tony it's only 1100's. But that's just my opinion.

[Tony Nitrous]

I see this one is now up for sale at £10,500 (about AU$20,800)

Only half bastardised, not registered, non running Kat should be allowed in this thread.....

No.
Kats are 1000's or 1100's or 1201s or 1540s.

Thats a Kitten.

Fixed.

Just got import approval for my braced frame.

Now I've only got to decide how wide my boots need to be, which leads into whether I run a braced stock front or 1400 front and whether I run the McIntosh arm. Then I have to decide whether I run 6 piston brakes or AP Lockheed period calipers/stock or aftermarket dash/colour etc etc.

I can tell you right now that Period AP Lockheeds don't go anywhere near fitting with stock discs and wire wheels - even with the discs spaced all the way out till they basically touch the fork legs there's not enough clearance. When I finally get around to it, I'm going to go to 310mm discs to try to fit them... might wind up having to knock up a wider set of triples to make it work.

Oh, mines up and running, and has about 1500km on the new motor - about 1000 of which was done a couple of weekends ago on a trip to tenterfield...
Need to sort out some better rear shocks now.

Anyone else got any updates?

[El_Hefty]

Yes ive built my shed at home now... mines coming home to finish or start or whatever that should be

[scotty]

Has anyone one yet?
Oh and I'm in.......

[fimpBIKES]

i've moved mine into the shed from outside, i guess thats a start?

[scotty]

So I guess I'm in with a chance!

[wackyrider]

At this rate, yes you are Scotty. lol

Big block and 17's, and your problems are gone :-)

Hurdles at this early stage. Don't drop the ball mate.
