My current situation (for those who care)...

[kahluamud]

Ok, the Kat-Viper (just kidding) is going through a couple modifications. I really wish I could have some pictures already, but it is not completed yet. Don't worry, will be soon. Here are some of the things happening to it.

Metzeler Roadtec Z6 tires
120/60/ZR17 Front
160/60/ZR17 Rear
Sitting in my living room.


Illumiglo Reverse Glow Guages. Already installed.
New Chain and Sprocket kit. Already installed.
Painting Brake Calipers and Discs again.

I will have wonderful pictures for all the world to see once everything is completed. I have even more to be excited about though. I just bought my wife a 1998 Katana 600. It is currently a bit mangled, but I have all the parts I need and will be putting her together soon. I just started working the night shift (6:00PM - 8:00AM) so it may take longer to do than I give myself credit for. I won't tell you the color we are going to paint it. You will just have to see. Well, see you all soon.

Looking forward to seeing it done and some step by step work too. Knowing you, this machine should look AWESOME!!!

Sure post like this without pics just to tease us!!!!

You will LOVE the 120/60 + 160/60 combo! Fantastic choice.

I'm a Diablo fan, but the Z6's will be good too, I'm sure.

Post pics when you're done!!!

[Derrikd]

could you go any larger in the rear??

[md86]

Z6's ? At first glance I thought those were Stradas ! Hey , why you wanna change the color ? That blue's SO purty .

[kahluamud]

MY 750 will remain Viper GTS Blue. I am painting my wife's 600.

No, you cannot go bigger in the rear. Not wider, anyways.

I have the 120/60...160/60 setup now with my Dunlop D208's, but needed a change in brand. I hear the Z6's are wonderful. I will let you know. I just took the wheels off the bike and will have the new rubbers mounted tomorrow.
Laters.

Sneak Preview!!

Yes, this is for the blue one. I am a little too patriotic, maybe.

I like the painted rotors or PC'd

I need a new signature? LOL

Dupli-color makes a paint specially for rotors and calipers,works really well,not too many choices of colors though.
