Retro Tech Katana

[kiwi kdx]

yo said your custy wants the "drag look" why not go short (just passed the foot peg, parrell to the frame rails)
like a lake pipe, use a Coby stlye muffler and put a bigger diamiter pipe on one end so it looks like there is
no muffler at all.....

now that would be sick!!! kiwi stylz!

Cant beat a well dressed Kat. Top job Ben and like has been mentioned, i think if the link pipe was just blacked it would make all the difference.

With all this talk of GSX1400's, did anyone see that one in streetfighters a while back with full kat body on it? Looked like Suzuki had gone back into production again lol.

Are those bst36's on it Ben? Has it had any other engine work or just the carb swap?

I'm such an ugly cunt, I think thats why I have no taste in motorcycles.

^^That's a normal 4-1 you stupid Hippy, you mean a sidewinder.

Good work as always Benji.
The tail unit is like a train crash, it's terrible but I can't stop looking at it.

I know what I meant thats all that matters....
Try again shall I....

Yeah, oldskool V&H sidewinder pipe would be good IMO or bring the pipe from the collector box up through the hole in the swingarm where the shock used to be and then exit just behind the subframe and above the right hand side heel guard with a couple of exit pipes.
Having said that that's just my thoughts and the bike is now completed and as already said an excellent job done by Ben and I'm not worthy to make any comments or to suggest any "improvements" cause it's a fuckin awesome build right there.

Sidewinder + twistys/roundabouts = scrape...grind ...ouch

Sidewinders are good if you only turn left.

I think it's really clean. Smooth lines and modern flow. The side by side 'before and after' shots really sum up the work. Nice one Ben.

Thanks for all the comments guys. I blacked out the lower section of the link pipe & I think it made all the difference.

[BANDITROD]

thats shitloads better mate

[EXBEN]

As a side note, the bike was running like a bag of shit as I hadn't run it with the pods on before & I don't know if it was even tuned correctly before. I needed a guide of what the jetting should be so I googled it & the first answer that came up was Turbokat responding to 80s freak question on here. 130 mains & needles all the way up, well I tell you what It's spot on.
So thanks ASF again & thanks Turbokat...

Yeah looks real nice.

I think the headers should have been polished.
