Looking for some ideas

[GTSE OLDMAN]

Hello everyone,

I bought a 97 Kat 600 for my very fisrt bike. I am loving the ride but really new to what can be done to a Kat. I was hoping to get some ideas on how to improve the look, performance and the handling of the bike. I have seen some great pics here, so i know it can be done. Help point a newbee in the rigt direction.

Thanks.

I have been looking at some of the forums but i am not sure which ones can or will apply to my 97. I also see alot of ideas that refer to the newer models but i will keep searching.

Katana of the month threads are always a good place to start.

Looks are pretty much what your imagination can come up with. Different paint schemes, mesh, flush blinkers and such.

Performance, you can go with a jet-ket, ignition advancer, full exhaust, sprocket change, cams.

Handling, you can put tighter springs in the forks up front, swap out the rear shock with a Bandit one, throw on some of NeOublies dogbones to raise the rear.

Have fun with it and make sure to post pics!
