750 Katana Resurrection

That looks great, It will come together pretty fast now.

Still got the engine and bodywork to sort out. I'm debating whether to split the cases. This kitty has suffered a lot of abuse so I might need to eyeball it's guts to be sure there is nothing untoward internally. I'll drop the sump plate and see what I can deduce regarding shift forks, that sort of thing.

That's looking great!

But, I spy, the front right rotor is actually meant for left hand side, isn't it?

She arrived fitted with two left hand discs. Can't see ’em when you're riding.

Becoming a roller is always a major step.
Looks great!

Thanks Steve, (and thanks Dave) you know the tide is turning when you're finally bolting things together rather than taking stuff apart.

Hopefully, the zip ties are from a reputable manufacturer!

Haven't smacked myself in the face yet. But there is still time. LOL

There's a good crowd in the UK that do Stainless replacement pistons...

Thanks Salty, I've ordered a seal and piston set from Webike in Japan.

Straightened and painted


The headlight is pretty bad so a replacement is on the way

More bent bits to straighten



One of the headlight ring mounting tabs was missing so cut one out of panel steel and sweat soldered it in.



Rear caliper pistons are pitted, so will have to be replaced

But I think I got that sorted, fired it up just this morning and seems ok now. But the headlight no longer works
