Fun Saturday with the Kat

[midqetsex]

On Saturday, I changed my oil and filter and replaced my choke cable since my choke rail wasn't sliding properly. Since I didn't need access to the holes in the fairing anymore and I love the look of the mesh mod, that was the next obvious step. I even talked my girlfriend into helping me with the choke cable and mesh mod! I'm really pleased with the results. You can see the pics at http://s119256820.onlinehome.us/Katana600/meshmod.html or view my website at http://s119256820.onlinehome.us/Kata...beginning.html. I'll be getting a domain soon to host my Kat site as well as a few other sites, so the link won't always be quite so nasty.

Unfortunately, when I got to work on Sunday, I had a flat tire! Right now it's stored in a garage until my new Pirelli Diablo Stradas come in and I can have them put on. I'm already trying to pick my next mod...

Looks great!!!
Sorry to hear about the tire..

I still had a factory rear tire and a cheapo front tire the previous owner put on to pass inspection, so I needed to upgrade anyway...not all is lost.

congrats on the the mesh mod, look great.

I was going to use duct tape around the long parts of the mesh cutouts and just use adhesive on the corners like you showed in the pics..but I opted to take the adhesive the whole way around the mesh. I wouldnt think u'd run into any problems since the corners are anchored w/ the jb weld.

Let us know how it works out for ya.

I could always add more JB Weld later on if they come loose. The mesh on one side of the fairing is rock solid. The other side has a tiny bit of play in it. I might add some more epoxy to that side down the road.
