    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.

  • 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.

Small update.

Small update.

yesterday and today i was tidying up cables, trying to refit all correctly and connecting eveything and testing the electronics on the bike. still waiting for my Mikuni 34RC flatslides to arrive for insertion and starting. Fitted the fuel system , the front calipers and hoses and got rid of all the air from the brakes and wuth new DOT5 brakefluid. Got the rear brake sitting pretty and now i need to remove again the rear swing and polish that damn thing. !!

still left to do up front is to have CNC made the front brake caliper brackets .
Those are not available anywhere i gues ??

New update.

New update.

I have been out of breath and not working on any of my bikes because 3 weeks ago we found out that my Mikuni 34RC were in a really bad shape.

So i kind of wnet out of breath and got lazy . Here in iceland, the extreme good weather days just pass by and i dont have a bike to ride:(

I can only hope that the person restoring my carbs will start working on them now that he has all the parts needed. :mad:
 
I was just thinking about you the other day, and was wondering where you have gone...glad to hear it's nothing serious, but hopefully just a small set back in the completion of the bike....

I am in the same boat, but waiting on tins to come back from painting, would have been probably faster to have them shipped to you, and returned, than the local guy here, seems he is taking his time...ohhhh well....

hope you get things sorted out soon, and finish that awesome looking bike...

Cheers
 
This is going to be, without a doubt, one of the nicest builds to EVER grace these pages. :cool:

Man, how did I miss this one for so long?

Yours, and mine, make the only two pop up Katanas on GSR as far as I know.
Don't really dig the colors but man they sure do POP!
The workmanship, on the other hand, I can definitely appreciate.

Subscribed and I will be watching with baited breath for the next installment!
 
Oh yeah!

Oh yeah!

Hey man,I've been following this for a while,at least now NO-ONE can say "oh sorry I didn't hear or see you" hahaha.Fantastic job!.Johnny:D
 
Last leg.

Last leg.

Next things-to-do are tightening all nuts and bolts, fit K&N?s to the carbs, make sure nothing can fall off or leavy the bike that is essential to safety and normal use of the bike. :) Then it will be ready. This i will do tomorrow and next few days. I will post video of first drive. :)
 
The sound of the engine was great, really nice, but the video gave me a headache...LOL, and I loved the little laugh at the end.....hehehehe

nice work

Cheers

Hehehe. Yes, it is hard to hold a cellphone shooting video while using screwdriver to listen close to inside of engine while it is running :) I will do better video later. :)

John (john82q) has Purple Haze... but it's a popup minus the popup...

If I have my way there will come a time when I will have one to add to the mix ;)
 
Very nice indeed.....

I wish mine would start like yours, click, and vrooom
