    If it were mine... i would try to track down the rest of the plastics

    As for suspension i like i think youre on the money. Whats the rear swinger from. Seems like sprocket alignment is spot on even with that fat back tire

      You need a new cam cover gasket and grommets for the bolts - looks like the PO had shares in RTV....

      EDIT: Actually I'll bet there's a few stripped cam cover bolts there - they are pretty easy to overtighten once the grommets compress with age. Good news is they are on top of the cam caps so you can easily take them off to helicoil.

        Nice bike. I only have the front fender and the tank and the tank is dented and pretty rusty. Tossing around doing a solo seat for it too. The forks, swingarm and wheels are all from 2000 GSXR 600 and I will need an offset front sproket, but it will be pretty close.

          I plan on taking off the cam cover, stator cover, clutch cover to put them back to polished aluminum. I will get new gaskets for all those and the exhaust manifold along with a bolt kit to replace all the bolts. Thx for the tips.

            spent some time last night with the angle grinder and wire brush and took most of the paint off the frame.

                    Honestly looks like 88/97 katana 600 wheels and forks, if they are thats a 3.5 out back and a 3 up front should be a 150/80 on the rear i believe?..

                        Ground down the pivots for the swingarm on the frame and got it mounted up this weekend. Have to move the battery box back a bit and had to spin the shock around so it left room for it.

                          Any issues getting the chain to line up?

                                Playing around with the original fender and found the undertail to go on also. Think I will weld back on the cut off subframe and mount the electronics between the 2 seat brackets instead of on the side. Tank needs to go though. Will have to figure out how to mount the top of the shock. Some thick steel is in store.
