Well done, had a chance to figure out how the front end is?

OK gumbo's. Looks to me that the dead line has been and gone and you all (most)forgotAfter visiting Casa Del Large on the weekend & ogling his Kat I've found inspiration to get off my fat, lazy arse & get stuck into my own Katana collection so that I actually have one that I can ride.
It occured to me that I'm not Bob Crusoe when it comes to stagnant/unfinished/unstarted/unrealised Kat builds, I know there are several members who own examples of the best looking motorcycle ever made that have intentions of building them into actual rideable motorcycles so consider this a slap in the face with a gauntlet & a challenge to a duel to the death (maybe bit melodramatic there...)
So, now's the time to man the fuck up & pledge allegiance to the mighty Katana by prioritising your builds & getting stuck in, I'm proposing an ASF Katana build off over a 6 month period starting on April Fools Day,
to post up pics of you're finished Kat's.
So maybe as AFR 2014 is rapidly approaching you can use this as an amended date to post up pics of all your finished Kats. With an extra 6 months under your belt there's going to be some awesome examples to look at
gee simon you for one know exactly how long these things take ... cant be rushed of course, theres at least 6 months of look and ponder and scrutinise and plan and then we can start... TK's timeline was a tad off me thinks
In other words im no where near ... umm errr started?!
I can handle pain until it hurts.
Lol I been building the workshop just to build my
bike for over two yrs lol
Mine was finished, then it ate a crank bearing. It's now more apart than it has been since I first built it!
cranks are easy to fix .....
I have a crank sorted - it's all the other shit that I discovered while I was in there.
After all the shit I've been through with the old man and my internal fuckups , life is about normal (for a rannga with a mohawk can get anyhow) I've finally started to turn a spanna on my popup and picked up a almost complete donor GSX750 to build the pop.
Mine was also finished..... but the dog ate it
Rev the fucker!!!!!
Shit did I say AFR 2014, what was I thinking of of course I meant 2020. You're right these lovelies need to mature like a fine wine.
Tk seems to do a lot of things on his own lol
Ran into these two(yes only ones a kat)from SA. father and son I believe, while scrubbing in some new tyres this morning.

Very tasty
Me likey both of them very much
mmmmmmmmmmmm big block
Mmmm, I'm wondering if you get fed up with all this old aircooled stuff you might want to give your clutch a new home ?
That looks like about a 1540cc big block with Cosworth forgies, straight cut primary gears, billet clutch & Carillo rods to me.
Maybe you could use Simon's little 1260 for a starter motor.
Did you buy them RS40s?
How about we make the Xmas drags the new deadline?

And here I am, still being fucked around on an 1170 kit, and having fucked a pair of liners pressing them out of my flogged out barrel so I could skim the bottom of the cylinder to fit a set of zx9 slugs I had lying around.
I seriously give up.
