Katana 1100 SD

[John Kat]

I just finished rebuilding my Katana 1100 SD.
Here it is with my GS 1000 ST in the background:


I haven't tried it yet waiting for better weather...

I think that first pic would make a GREAT b.o.m. candidate.
Beautiful bikes!

Thanks Steve
It's a good idea but I want to fix one or two details before posting for the BOM.

[Redneck]

Its all in the details... love those old Kats.

[Guest]

Very nice John! Where're your front turn signals though? Gotta love a nice Kat

[John Kat]

It's one of the details I'm working on
I have a pair of original turn signals but I'm hesitating to put them back on as they tend to crack the fairing's fiberglass
If anyone knows of a good alternative that fits in the same place let me know?
The rear view mirrors are also missing although I have them ready...

Aaah I see... if it's vibration related, can you put a thin rubber pad either side of the fibreglass?

[John Kat]

Hi Pete,
It's not only the vibrations but the sheer bulk of the turn signal.
Although it's attached through a rubber grommet there is very little play and if anyone hits it inadvertently ...the fairing is damaged!
I found these turn signals that seem OK?
I had to make a small adapter plate ( 15*15*10) to hold them in place.
What do you think?

I LIKE those turn signals! Where can I get them? Thanks, Ray.

[Guest]

Subtle but effective I would say John

[Redneck]

Those are what I have on my bike. I know bikemaster makes a version. I have no problems with mine they are small and blend in with the bike when not in use, but give a big flash when used.

Hi Ray, these are the ones I bought.
I'm sure they come from China
I bet you can get the equivalent in the USA!

Here's some by Lockhart that are similar. They usually come in different body and lens color combinations.
