I know there are several engines that fit into the katana frame and bolt right in but exactly how hard would it be to drop a gsxr 750, 1000, or even 1300 into our beloved kats. The only reason i really suggest it is bc the b12 is so hard to find as is the old 1127 and i know i woud get more power from a newer gsxr motor. I understand that i would need to mess with computers and stuff for the fuel injection but as far as it fitting into the frame how much altering would i need to do?

A LOT. Probably to the point where it would be cheaper to buy a used gsxr almost.
Don't get me wrong, with time money, and the right person working on it, it can be done.Florida, the only place where you need your windshield wipers and sunglasses. At the same time.

The water cooled GSXR's are used as a stressed member in the GSXR chassis, so that's your biggest problem right there. Then there's everything else that dont / wont swap (radiator, EFI/carbs are downdraft, etc).
Haven't seen one done to date - and I don't think I will be holding me breath in anticipation....

Where are you located? Becase I dont think they ever imported those to the US. But I could be wrong. I dont know the difference between the 1400 and the B12 but they make the same amount of power so I dont see any added benefit to install the 1400.Originally posted by arsenic93 octane fuel and K&N pod filters rock.
