Project: SilverBlade

[Astroman]

Well is time to start a new thread with the project im about start...

I got an 82 Katana1100s on Clist for $2000. Came with RC megaphone, pods and Custom "paintjob"






I would like to build something similar to the ones you can see on the Japanese magazines and Websites. Classic Look and Modern Performance (mostly susspension and handling for the moment)









First part would be to find the right parts for the convertion, Katman has been very helfull on what to fit etc..

So im going with 93 GSXR750W forks/brakes/wheel and Bandit1200 swingarm/wheel/brake also ZRX1200 rearsets (have to chop the frame for this) and ZRX1200 shocks untill i can afford some Ohlins/WP or other peformance shocks..

Bike will be apart soon, motor will need new gaskets and a clean up, frame need to braced and powdercoated and swingarm needs bushings and brackets for the twin shock convertion and bodywork it's going to be painted silver again.

ill try to post updates on this project.

Suggestions and ideas are welcome
(excuse my English im from Greece )

$2K for that?! I am bitterly jealous! :-D

Great catch, it should be a good read to watch the build go.
