    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.

Katana hot rod by Icon

Not sure if it's been on here before but I've seen it a few times now as well as a brief section on a TV show about it, pretty cool indeed!

That actually had me thinking of trying an oil cooler in the cowl of my project Kat early on, but getting proper headlights working below it was what made that plan come unstuck... like everything else on a Kat the stock rectangular headlight is still way cool in my opinion anyway :)
 
I enjoyed them both..the bike and the girl. Seemed appropriate for the post apocalyptic before and after visions of that race track. Can't imagine having the kind of power on tap to smoke a tire like that at any given time..amazing control and riding ability.
 
Nice motorcycle, nice lady. Nothing wrong with the engine, I think it is just right.👍
 
Cool cycle. I think the oil cooled engine is a nice power adding and weight reducing addition to a GS based hot rod. The looks of the oil cooled unit have been growing on me as well.
 
Swapping the short stroke 750 into my '83, was the best mod i've done to it. Need to get the 13.5 to 1 slugs i have for it, installed this winter.
 
All are nice looking! oh, the B12 motor looks good in there too... Question to kingofvenus. Why was the short stroke 750 mod the best you've ever done? What motor is that originally from?
 
Vs. all the other work i've done on it. It is what would be called a full resto-mod, frame, seat, fuel tank, side covers and tail piece are the only original parts left. '88-'89 gsxr and '89-'96 gsx750f's had those engines.
