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.

Late to the party
I'm a little late to this thread, but glad I showed up. Just went through the whole thing, and I'm definitely going to be following along the rest of the way. Could I trouble someone for a brief history lesson?
This is a 1000s, correct? What year?
The 1000s was made from '79 to '82; which year(s) was it a "Wes Cooley" replica?
The '81 and '82 1000s is the Katana?
The 1100s was made in '81, '82 and '83. Were all of them Katanas?
Great work, Chuck. The pics allow me to vicariously restore a motorcycle, and literally restore my day.
The Title says 1980 SUZI
must have been a popular color... this guy with ad on CL did the same thing https://prescott.craigslist.org/mcy/4373057747.html
Greg..I suggest you copy all the pictures I have posted and the ones in the future to a build file on your computer. That way youve got record of all the stuff.
Handy little trick is to use duct tape behind the intake manifolds to keep water and stuff out when power washing. I also put tape on the old exhaust gaskets and drive them back in for a seal there. I had taken them out before i snapped the pics. Had to do a touch up by the one port so I just stuffed a rag in there.
And yes the paint will come off the boots with some Acetone.
I noticed that (SUZI) also on my registration.
It's a beautiful name - sexy and powerful. I'm going to go in the garage now and apologize to SUZI for not riding or starting her today.
Jeez - I've gone too long without sex and motorcycles!
