UPDATE: 2002 Katana 600 build
Hey guys, I'm excited to announce that I have begun work on my pride and joy with a healing pile of new parts laying out in front of me. I'm excited to begin this build and will keep you guys up to date every day that I build!
As of right now, I have a black shorty GP Exhaust, header wrap, bondo, new front rim, new chain and sprockets, full tune up, new tires on order and much more to come!
My bike right now looks absolutely atrocious with stickers everywhere because the previous owner painted over the original factory yellow paint scheme which upon closer inspection under the tank guard was in great shape prior to the shotty paint job. My bike has minor stress cracks in the typical places but I'm going to use Plumber grade ABS weld on it in order to fix that situation. I did the same process on my 1991 CR250r and the bike came out looking brand new.(I'll attach some pictures of both bikes!) The bike is coming together beautifully in my mind and I hope my creativity is able to become a reality. I'm going to detail the entire engine while I'm in the process of it just because I'm a little OCD when it comes to my bikes.
Questions and Concerns:
My bike has 33,xxx miles, what sort of things should I look into? The right side cover looks as if it has a leak, I'll post images today at some point of the leak.
My bike doesn't have a center stand, how can I go about taking my rims and tires off without scratching or harming any important parts?
The front rim has a flattened section, will it be able to be fixed? I will also post pictures of this tomorrow.
Items I'll be selling from the bike:
D&D slip on Exhaust
Swing arm
