            • Rode the katana around the neighborhood for about 20 min with fuel stabilizer in the tank to get it to the carbs.... washed it, waxed it, lubed the clutch/brake/gas lines, cleaned and degreased the chain then re-lubed it, pulled the battery out, then put her up on stands, put the cover over her and stored her for winter.

                  Well at least I'm properly putting her away for winter and not just setting her in a corner and saying "hope you run again when winter's over".... lol

                  She got a princess treatment.

                  • plastic work

                    working on plastic repair following the the repair info here on katriders. Notice the right fairing is missing the upper portion of the fairing from the mirror to the windscreen. The Previous owner laid the bike down and busted up the fairings. Pieces were missing. I got creative and used a roto zip to cut some replacement pieces out of a trash can lid (the blue parts). I also attached the repaired right fairing after I primed it. Keep in mind this was my first attempt at this kind of repair and I just followed the plastics repair thread on this site! Gotta love this site! I will post more pics as I go.

                      • Fixed my messup from droping her last night

                        Sanded and re-painted my tank and fairings
                        Spot welded the steering stops so my handlebars couldnt hit the tank again.
                        Finished wrapping my exhaust
                        Wire brushed my exhaust can to clean it up and give it a brushed look

                        • I looked it's replacement...a 93 600 without any plastics...Plus side is chrome wheels and 4-1 header...negative is buying all the stuff all over again I jus bought for the old one like grips, levers, stretch, gears, seats, gascap etc. Either way, still be right back where I started needing a paint job after its done lol Looking at a 92 1100 motor real hard...trying to see how hard the accessories are to dig up before I buy so I don't screw myself. Wish me luck!

                          • Stored my bike for the winter yesterday. Thank god I did, cause it snowed like it was Christmas here!

                            It was really cold riding all the way to the storage. Couldn't feel my hands after that ride!
