    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.

Have a Project Katana, Turned into a Monoshock, Now ready to weld up mounts for rear sets, The previous mad fellow just did such a hack job on the frame, I had a CWB welding instructor and I go through a entire tank and a half of argon (These were the small Tanks!) to properly weld the offending bits properly. I don't feel competent enough to TIG Weld Bike Frames. My forte is Machining. Anyhow the original rear set control mounts have all been removed and I wondered what rearset brands have been used with some success, Like nice quality manufacture and price,. I thought of making a set but time vs cost, makes it almost pointless. Already have too much time wrapped up in my Bikes, Thanks Guys Mike
 
Well got lucky the busa rearsets will work very nicely. Just have to recreate a rear frame tube arrangement to bolt it up in the correct spot. Mike

I used Busa rear sets also. Easy and cheap to find on E-bay. I made my own brkts just because I wanted to make my own brkts for the look, but with a competent welder you could put them almost anywhere to fit you. Kat's are a pretty tight fit for the legs. May have to shorten or lengthen your shift rod.
 
Would definitely love to see pic's of the Busa rearsets on the Kat (I'm assuming we're talking original '80's Kat here?) and what you have to do with linkages etc. to make them work.
 
Yes old Katana ,Major project . So much to do so little time Mike
