First Bike = Katana...help

[GolferGeek]

Hi,
My name is Matt and i just bought my first bike. It is a 1996 Suzuki GSX 600 Katana. It was laid down by the first owner and has some damage but not too much. But still, im a college student and i need to find cheap parts. Any suggestions?
Here is a list of some of the stuff i need:
Front Turn Signal Assemblies
Rear Fender
Rear Taillight Assembly
Clutch and Brake Levers
Most of the Fairings(Front, Sides, Lowers, etc.)
Starter Solenoid
I havent started riding it yet and its killing me that im not. i need to get this thing up and running fast help!

Your best bet it to check out ebay theres alot there and then check out the wanted to sell section of this forum. best of luck.

eBay is probably you're best bet. There are tons of fairings for your year on there for cheap, you'll just have to paint them (there is tons of info on how to do a good paintjob with rattle cans on here). Actually, pretty much everything you need is in abundance on eBay. You shouldn't have a hard time.

Good luck, and welcome

Compatable?

Thanks for all the help so far guys. Here is something i am wondering though. i have been seeing a lot of items for the 750 Kat. and what the question is... are most parts compatable between the 750 and my 600 Kat?

Welcome! Much of the Pre 600 & 750 stuff is interchangeable...except the tail section. At least that is my understanding.

It is up to you of course...But being your first bike...laying the bike down is pretty common at some point. Maybe you can wait until you are comfortable riding it and then go ahead spening the time and money for the new fairings and paint job.

Unless they look absolutely horrendous
