if you guys have this model katana as well, could you look around your front wheel area to see if it exists? or possibly for the front wheel cowl?

I know the pre 98 Katana 600 like the back of my hand. I've forgotten more about that model then 3/4 of this forum will ever know. It doesn't exist.

Again, I just disassembled a prekat 600 down to the frame a couple of months ago. Seriously, it's not an original part on your bike.

The only piece for the front fender is a small plate that fits between the forks.

Aftermarket fork brace in really bad condition?
Q: does your bike have the stock calipers on the front?
Q: Was the bike exceptionally tall at the rear?
Q: Is the oil cooler stock (maybe some form of aftermarket oil-radiator retainer bracket?)

I can't ID the part as being from an OEM Kat either.

Jason,
If the people who have posted here can't recognize it.. It might not even be a Suzuki part.. Hell it might not be a motorcycle part.

Dogbones go in the dog's feeding dish... or his mouth.

[fededr]

Are those metric threads? If not that does not belong on your bike.
By the way, never seen anything like that on mine.

[arsenic]

that's cause it isn't on your bike.

[scottynoface]

Well now that you know it doesn't go on the bike, I can tell you where it really goes...

[JasonX]

i figured out where it goes. it was part of my aftermarket exhaust mounting bracket. that's why we couldn't figure it out since it's not a stock part. i was so glad I found where it goes. i was trippin thinking it's some crucial part. anyways, i was all done until i wired my light wrong and the wire made a little spark. i figured out how to wire it, but now my dash light for the speedo, fuel gauge, and tack dont work. did i blow a fuse? if so, where the heck is this fuse? thanks guys. almost done.

For future reference go to www.bikebandit.com for full schematics of most bikes and assembly guides. It has helped me figure out how to modify some parts of my bike.

Like I said, not a Suzuki part.

Seriously dude, you had Me, Arsenic, MD86 and Cyberpoet tell you they had never seen it before.. That is more combined Katana knowledge then Suzuki has..

did i blow a fuse? if so, where the heck is this fuse? thanks guys.

Fuses are in the fuse box...

[The CyberPoet]

You have blade-type fuses in the fusebox which sits above the battery and behind the gas tank in the under-seat area (small black plastic box above the battery). There is also a 30 amp main breaker on your particular year/model that may have blown; it's off to one side of the battery area (push to reset) -- I'll leave it to one of the pre-98 owner's to clarify the location of the breaker better.

1988-1996 the main breaker is in front of the battery, maybe under the air cleaner?
1997 switches to main fuse under the right side tail panel.

There is also another fuse on the starter relay that should be checked as well.
