    That bike is a beauty. Do you ever take it to the sport bike rally in Parry Sound?

          Yep - but they look awkward... Apart from that, that is a stunner Kat!

                The Cycle World pictorials on the wall were really neat.


                At the Cycle World Rolling Concourse on Saturday.


                My Kat was 1 of 4 seen all weekend and the only unmodified example to be found.


                This may be late, but.....VERY cool Sean!! Very cool indeed!!

                  I'll preface this with the caveat that I don't have a Katana, but I came across this site and it's drool worthy:



                  They do complete resto-mods, from the ground up. Each one of these bikes runs about $40k. They are stunning. Anyone ever heard of these guys?

                    What frame is used for this second Kat? Any info on the build?

                      Looks very much like a Bandit frame.

                              Cool site. Their GPz1100 appears to need a wee bit of jetting, though.
                              1982 GS1100E V&H "SS" exhaust, APE pods, 1150 oil cooler, 140 speedo, 99.3 rear wheel HP, black engine, '83 red

                              2016 XL883L sigpic Two-tone blue and white. Almost 42 hp! Status: destroyed, now owned by the insurance company. The hole in my memory starts an hour before the accident and ends 24 hours after.
