Rebirth of my Kat..

[Redstone]

My old 88 kat had met it's maker and therefore has been reborn with a slight twist. I know some of you will wonder wtf i was thinking but i had a crazy idea in my head and ran with it...jus wondering what some of you think...she used to be a 1988 Katana 1100. Now transformed into a 9 ft chopper. The frame was made by myself and the forks are of a old dirtbike..

I am currently working on the front brake issues i have. I also have managed to keep all the original wiring and harnesses and will be reworking what i need to. The donor for this project i have had for years and i couldn't let er die... seems i will need to make my own exhaust as well, gonna be 2 into 1 running out the back on both sides..It also seems i have shaved a lot of weight off too. Not sure how its gonna handle but its gonna be fun..

Looks sweet. I love street bikes and have a love for bobbers and choppers too. I m currently looking into a bobber project when i'm finished painting the Kat.

cool

but why in the hell would you hard tail it?

This is a test project for me, I wanted to work out a few certain aspects with it. Gives me time to figure out the flaws that i possibly have. keep in mind i didn't measure anything on this and just eyeballed it. My next project in the future will have alot better suspension. I also dont have many specialized tools like a tubing bender, cutting torch, plasma cutter etc, I bent the tubing by hand, used a angle grinder and a cheap mig to tack it together and final welded with a 60 yr old arc welder. My back probably wont like me for it either..

run it on 15 psi or so and it should be ok.... maybe spring the seat... simple and easy solution for the guys that like the HT look

[Kattie]

I like it...Its different...and im all about being different seeing as its hard to do these days...pretty much every idea i have that i like and people say i dont know about that or i dont really like it...Ill do it...So keep up the good work and ill be following this thread for sure.
