    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

After two years of work and a whole lotta head scratching to try and make things work, my Katana is finished. I know I am going to get flack about it being lengthen, thats ok I can handle it. Anyone with questions on it feel free to ask. Thanks for looking and thanks for all opinions the thoughts in advance.
After the pic's there is a short video of the bike running.

Couldn't view the clip...you probably need to change some settings, because it seems to be set to 'private'.

Thank you, the setting is changed now so you can view.
 
That's a ton of work. Looks spectacular! Video's nice, sounds like a very angry chainsaw. Any plans to for a 1/4 mile run, or a dyno pull?
 
You set a standard us mere mortals can never hope to achieve, beautifully done. +1 on the color, reminds me of the tangerine Suzuki used on some of the old two-strokes.
 
Simply stated, that machine is a work of art... extremely well done.
 
wow I cant even beleive what I'm looking at :eek:. I just put that first pic on my wallpaper and will have to study it a while.

It only took 2 years and what $20K????
 
Trying to think of the right words for your bike, Hitman....evil, wicked, beautiful!
Having seen some of your other brutes a group shot is required.
 
If ailens landed tomorrow, that is the bike they would demand to ride. Looks... incredible. A work of art for sure.
 
Wicked comes to mind, spectacular quality of work. Is it for show or riding?
 
There is no greater accomplishment than to be recognized for the work you do, and what each and everyone of you do to make your motorcycles your own, thanks again glad to see its a hit.

The bike will be at Marcus Dairy for Super Sunday event on 4-18 in Danbury Conn. along with several others I have done, weather providing. Would be great to meet anyone from the forum.

I built this bike to represent what a Katana could be made into. And to provide an insight to everyone even in Europe where I have seen so many of these done up.

This is a street bike which will see very limited use. It will be in a series of GS's that hopefully will bring interest for the resto-moded GS motorcycle to main stream market. Much like the resto-moded cars. Its a big plan, but I also enjoy building them, so if it doesn't work out, then atleast I gave it a shot.
