    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.

Project GSX1000 Katana

King Speed

Forum Newbie
OK... I bought this as shown in the picture. It is an 82 1000 Katana that needs a lot of everything. On the plus side, even the way it appears it will run. I am currently collecting parts as needed, but the bike will have to be completely torn down and the house paint that was used to paint the frame white will be the first to go. The bike is complete if you include the bags of parts that came with it.
 
Good luck with the bike, at least its complete, they are getting rarer and rarer in this state especially the 1000 version!
 
I so want to get hold of one of those bikes. I just never have the money available when is see them come around. What are the plans for it. Going back stock or doing a little customizing on it?

I am thinking about turning it into a vintage race bike and running a few track days and races with it. I can no longer afford speeding tickets and have a hard time enjoying these bikes at street legal speeds.
 
looks like the poor thing sat outside for a while, are those stock pegs rearset?

wish my dad didnt sell his kat 1000, all original and he sold it for like a grand a couple years ago.

Street legal speeds are only for those that don't know how to ride/drive.
The LEO's around here don't show by example to do anything but exceed them.
And they CERTAINLY don't know how to find a turn signal to save their lives! :rolleyes:
