            Thanks man! The red ones gone sadly, my roommate sold the slant back sr20 swap off from it and traded the shell for a roller 300zx just for the brakes lol and the gold one we're restoring has a rb25 with 2.6 crank carlio rods Dimond pistons 10.5:1 on e85 with a 70mm billit ball bearing turbo.. its going to be stupid lol just gotta get it tuned and then its off for paint

              I'm following your build, looking good S_Fr.
              When I see pics of your projects with all the salvage behind them I imagine a Mad Max world around you.
              But then I see a pic with your real neighborhood in background, and it's all normal average. HA!
              Best 'o luck.

                    I ordered mine from the local Suzuki dealer. I figured if the originals lasted 30 years, Im good to go....

                    For some reason I think cafe bikes with the stock dual exhausts look cool- if that's your plan.....

                      Check the size but i think these are the proper ones for your bike.

                            Thats the plan for now but header tubes are rusted a little so ill end up with a 4 into 1 later. My mufflers are in great shape just wish the rest was too

                                So after about 2 hours of messing about the katana front end literally bolted on no problem.. the bike looks so good with a 17 on it the only problem now is the kat rim is wider then the gs rear rim so are there any narrow 17s that would go on??
