My GSXF 750 => Progress of rebuilding

[orange]

Hi there,

I bought my first motorcycle in June this Year.
Its a Katana from the year 2000 with now 30500km on it.

I was hesitating about biuying another bike now but in stead of that im gonna repaint it ( new black ) update it here and there and renew some parts. Its a pleasant bike to drive, a saloon on the highway for me and still a bit sportive with comfort. Its actualy all I search in a bike so no new one is needed.

Next month it will be taken apart, Carbs will be synchronised, he will get a big maintainance, new tyres, paintjob, maybe a new exhaust, new gauges, new steering plate, etc ..

Here the condition he's in now:

Hey guys,

thnx for the comments.

The paint has already been redone by the previous owner but when you look closer its not perfectly done. So I want to redo it annyway.

This seat has been made by a Belgium company, its a soft-gel seat.
VERY comfortable and costed me 1100€ but all worth it and premium quality.


Now we're calibrating the carbs of the bike and synchronizing them.
Body has been taken off for a new paint job as well are the weels ( black )
Fork legs will be re-polished.

Everything else get a good cleaning job so it looks as new.

Im searching for another, better quality spring.... Any ideas?
