    GSX 600 katana streetfighter build



    Before /^\
    My first mod will be chopping the lower subframe support and welding in a new on with square tube steel stock. I have 03 gsxr passenger pegs that will work beautifully. I will be documenting this mod and will update and show pics throughout the process. i am also adding a gsxr 1000 rear shock or hayabusa rear shock. and acerbis headlight. Moding will start this week so pics will be uploaded as the process goes on.

          Bought the steel stock to suport the subframe today and will be welded in by the end of the week. Also got some 03 gixxer passenger pegs to use. Anyone know of any footpegs that can swap into a katana frame?

            agreed, maybe a little darker bronze on the wheels

              Im really excited to follow your thread... and i am also looking forward to see what you do with the rear! I am pretty happy with how mine looks now but the rear subframe/tailsection is next on my agenda!

                I am always on the look out for some streetfighter ideas, good luck with your build!

                    Duplicolor makes a wheel coating in a really nice bronze color. I can't find a decent picture of it, but my back wheel is done in that color. It's darker than the original bronze.

                        /Thanks for NOT getting rid of the passenger seat. the fighters that do that just look deformed. Can't wait to see it done.

                            i hear you on that this bike i want to be fully functional so keeping the stock seat makes a nice ride for the passenger. I am very exited about this bike and it feels like it will do some nice wheelies with the new ride height and stiff rear shock!
