My Old 89 Kat

[ripper1]

My old Kat! got it non working and a ugly sky blue. Tranny was locked up had to crack open engine replace all new tranny gears. Repaint with black with silver flake in it, pics don't show flake very well but it really pops in the sun, also painted all the decals with metallic silver and airbrushed tank with a crinkle flame also hard to see in pic, done all new exhaust and did hydro clutch mod as well as a few other things.... Hope you like as i am happy with her!

Here's an idea of what color it was and what the previous idiot owner did to it and also how bad the tranny was and how broke she was

Great job on the paint!
Enjoy!

Wow that looks good! I'm in the process of laying some paint down, if it comes out half as nice I'll be happy. Sounds like you know your way around a wrench if you managed to strip out and replace the tranny.

very clean air brush was nice too. what mirrors do you have fitted there?

[konigralph]

Very clean bike. Not bad at all.. some owners just don't know how to take care of nice things that they have.

Love it-- looks great!

[maniac1886]

yah man, you really brought that Kat back to life!! Who in their right mind would put that janky ass headlight cover on it? Poor motorcycle.

Glad to see she's back in action, and better lookin than ever!

Wow, seeing that transmission pic made me die a little on the inside.

Wow that guy really abused this kat. Good job restoring the bike. The result is ten times better than what it was before. Congrats and enjoy the rides.
