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

    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!

    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

    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.

    fork stiffeners,that sounds like some serious metal.And a Gxsf...shit thats gota be 1 of a kind.
    Mate deffinately go with the Gold wheels tho,apparently they are 20% lighter than the black ones,and 35% heavier than the white ones.
    as for the DRZ...shit,hang onto er bro,that things gota pull like a train.

    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....

    Welcome aboard mate.




    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?

    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!

    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.
