  • 1982 Kat with black engine cases

    Hello. I just picked up my latest project, a 1982 Kat 1100. It has black engine cases, which I am not that fond of. Most photos I see of 1100's have silver cases. Can anybody shed some light on why mine are black? Thank you, looking forward to being part of the forum.

    In 1983 they changed the color scheme... and that included changing the engine color to black to match the other GSX engines of the time.

        It likely has the 1983 1100 motor in it.
