Calling Katana experts

[mozza]

Guy's, I've been advised that the 83 750 Katana (non pop-up headlight) tank will fit the 1100 katana ? Does anyone know if this is true ?

[fimpBIKES]

i think no, anyone else?

[mozza]

everything I find indicate that they ran the same bodywork just different engine/chassis

[oldskool]

I think your right Mozza.

[Tony Nitrous]

Seen a couple of 1100 Kats that were originaly
750 imports. Looked the same to me but never
had the two side by side.

[Hillsy]

I'm pretty sure the bodywork is the same. Frames were slightly different in the bottom engine mounts, but that's all IIRC (apart from carbs, ignitor, etc)

[Bigjase]

Yes I'm 99% sure they fit, I'm sure I had one on one of my 1100s

[mozza]

thanks guys, got confirmation this afternoon that they are the same.

[GammaBoy]

Yeah, they are same same.

I think the question you need to be asking is 'Will a Katana tank fit a GSX 1100 frame?' isn't it?

[mozza]

The frame has already been modified with a 1100 Katana tank currently fitted. The tank I have needs a bit of work and I can get a really good 750 tank but once I commit to it I cant return it.

[TurboKat]

Do the P5 rules allow you to have a fuel cell & a dummy tank cover?

[mozza]

Yeah one of the Kats built by Dale Gilbert here has that set-up but feedback indicated it wasn't worth the effort. I ended up buying one of the last BRAND NEW 1100 Katana tanks in stock in Australia. I'll keep the dented one I have as a spare if ever needed.
