Well, it is official. All engine work (except the 600 mile maintenance) is complete with the Mexitana. It runs like a dream, and a bat outa hell. The power of that bike is unbelievable. It just begs to bet opened up and let go. We did a 350 mile ride last weekend, and it ran great. Had it up to about 120, with lots of room to go. Yesterday I got stuck in bad traffic, and wasn't sure how it was gona hold up to the stop and go (with a lot more stopping than going) in the heat, but it did great. Hopefully in the next few weeks we can get the rest of the body done and get that put on as well. Until then though, I am still riding it nekkid.
For those of you that are new or not sure what I am talking about, Corey and (with the help of our Prospect Boner a.k.a. Bonstrosity) transplanted a 89 1100 GSXR engine into a 99 Katana 750 frame. Lots of go fast power
The 600 mile maintance will be done Saturday morning, then more riding shall take place. The only other thing that needs to be done is to get the correct header and pipes on. Right now I am running a old Gixxer 750 header with my Katana D&D pipe. I am just waiting to get the dual cans, then I will be putting on a GSXR 1100 header, with dual exhaust. That 750 just seems to be not as free flowing as it needs.
Once the duals are on, I'll post pics!
