    Cheers again guys!

    I've had a few suggestions now for KitKat which is somewhat appropriate given how it was built so if the name fits...

      Super Job, Pete. Hard work and patience pays off! (...is Oz the Kat Kapital of the world? )

        Cheers mate! I think Japan is the Kapital after seeing photos from their get togethers... we can't quite compete with that! Possibly a close second though!

          For completeness I now have a mini replica It's not quite right as Tamiya don't do a kit with the '83 onwards wheels and the oil cooler lines don't go to the right location but it'll do.

              Cheers Scott, it's basically a very slightly modified Tamiya kit for the GSX1100S Katana which they call "Custom Tuned". I adjusted some things to somewhat replicate my Kat, can be had for around $AU30 so probably much cheaper in your neck of the woods.
