    Not bad mate... I can see pre-load adjustment too. Are they rebuildable? A lot to ask for that price I know

      give you a idea mate this is the bloke i buy of but i just ring him or send him a email and tell him what i want but he goes thru most things in his listings.

      a couple of mates from vintage jap club have used him since he started and have no complaints



      hes having some health probs atm so prefers email mate

      ps he will rebush shocks for your bike as well im using some triumph ones on mine

        so after much trouble and using a jack got my shocks one


        now the fun begins as the swing arm now hits the right rear foot peg mount so will have to heat and bend out 10mm






        just put the bars on to see what she sat like (i like it )

        cant really do the seat and mount guard till i get the rear loop done so has to wait for now

        have to see a friend of mine this week to see about removing broken bolt from head mount of exhausts and then retap a spark plug hole.

        Then i can get going on this one lol

            Mate I know how you feel... I keep watching Katanas come and go, and no budget at all at the moment...

                  Have given the details to another member on here so hopefully he will get them.

                  Hey Brodie Welcome (brodie just picked up a 1977 GS750 hes about to start so he will be chasing parts )


                  so between the two of us could be some fun building we are looking at elec ignition units for both so any suggestions appreciated

                    Thanks mate, still fighting the stuck piston. See how I go before I start a build thread.

                      Ok you both got your work cut out for ya's! That 750 looks like it's seen some better times...

                      I can only speak highly of the Dynatek in my 450, and they definitely have units for the 750's and 1000's.

                        Yeah I was reading your thread over on DTT Pete and that is what lead me here, I have a crap load of work, hopefully it is worth it.

                          Cool, good stuff Brodie.

                          It's a lot of work but a bunch of fun all at the same time!

                          If you've got other two wheeled transport you're more than welcome to join our GSR and Katana Australia ride next Saturday too, heading to Urbenville for lunch.

                          All the details here:

                            I was reading that earlier as well, I would tag along but I am fully booked for that weekend. Stepsons birthday and mine is on the friday. That and I don't think the SR250 is up for a long trip.
