new look

Did some work on my katana

Before


After




Painted the tank black, put a set of fat bars on, SS brake lines and the $1 spring mod. The bike feels like a whole new animal! Only bad part was I had to get rid of my hand guards they hit the wind screen with the new bars, Got to keep the heaters tho

I like it! How much more "upright" is your riding position with those bars?

I'm 6'5 and siting almost all the way up right. Feels AMAZING for me. The only riding if done is just quick zips around the block. Don't have my front brake line yet. When I get it in and on the bike Ill let you know.

What's the $1 spring mod? I've searched but the search parameters "spring mod" are too short so it just pulls up every post ever made with spring in it.

Make a spacer and you put it in the fork tubes, It adjust the pre load.

Just noticed at the top of the article you linked, that's for a pre 98. I'm assuming that it worked as well for the post 98 models?

Looks good.

What handle bar kit is that? Or did you just drill the triple? Can you put up some more pictures of the handle bar set up and how you did it?

Yup works for just about any bike. My buddy did it to his ninja 650 a year or so ago before he upgraded his forks.

Bars are protaper 1 1/8 bars with protaper mounts. I have rubber spacers between the mounts and upper trip. To attach the mounts I drilled out the oem bar mounts to 1/2" for the bar mounts. Really easy to do, Theres a write up here on it
