Updated pics

Ok , alot of you have heard me saying things about my beat up Katana , so I thought I'd get some recent pics . Roads are still pretty wet and muddy around here , so the bike's actually a little more dirty than I usually let it get . But the important parts are in good shape (tires at good pressure/tread , chain clean and adjusted , etc.)

COOL!! Looks like a corbin seat and wow, you have saddle bags now. Sweet! Now I feel better about my little rash on my bike. lol

[md86]

Yeah , got the Corbin from Jim at our rally last fall in Lexington . Only cost me my old seat and $60 . Ain't he a nice guy ! Bags from E-bay about the same time . They're quite large , too . They are pretty much permanent as far as I'm concerned . I keep my tools and some spare parts in there , along with extra tapes and water . I was hoping to get the fairings fixed this winter , but it hasn't happened yet .

That is an awesome deal on the corbin. Jim is such a great guy!

I was going to leave that alone Matt. lol
Looks ready to ship with that on there. MD are you planing on shiping it to the Gap and ride home.

[ThAzKat]

Everytime I look at that pic I want to photochop a bandaid on it. J/K

Hey man, It's paid for and not in a crate. If you enjoy it that's all that matters!!!!! Happy riding!!!

Looks familiar Matt. Where did you get the saddlebags? Knowing you, you got a deal.

[tzortn]

Can you still have a passenger with the saddle bags on?

[md86]

Well , I have a habit of grabbing stickers off of crates at work sometimes . I thought these would be a good idea . You know , a little reminder ? I have more if anyone wants ... The bags I got off of E-bay for about $80 shipped in near-new condition . They are the Nelson-Riggs something-or-other 500's , I believe . Hey Babs , they were on there at the rally at your place . You sat on the bike and everything , and you don't remember seeing them there ? I take my little sister out riding sometimes , so apprently there's still room for a passenger ! Yeah , it looks rough , but it runs pretty good and is suited well to my needs !
