              Great looking bike so far. Black is mos def the fastest color
              I have embarked on the road of modding. Even if you BOLT ON new parts to a bike, there will be someone somewhere that has the same combination. With the Kat, you have a unique platform. Sure, some parts might be from other bikes, but no one will have the same combination. It will be truly yours and unique.

                I totally agree. I bet I could get at least 5 mph w/o the front wheel now that its painted black

                  I estimate I have about $400 left before I can get the bike on the road. Have $400 in the bank, but I know I should try to hold onto it and save my money. Gonna try to sell my turntables and paintball guns, aswell as start DJing again, and try to get the money

                                I am really interested in those front turn signals. I looked at them before on ebay but wasn't sure how well they would fit. Anyway, would you post a pic of them when you get them on?
