    Some fresh pics of my black beauty-before my new goods arrive!

    I haven't ridden in the past couple days because intermittent storms we've been having...happened to be off today, so under cloudy skies I went for a spirited run into the country!
    I got home and felt like taking pics before I install the new stuff. Soon will have a 2 Bros M2 Aluminum exhaust and Ivan's jet kit From what I hear I will be happy
    I will wh0re some more after install and maybe get a sound clip...
    Warning-lots of pics!














    I am enjoying every second being back on a bike-approaching 2 months of ownership and over 2200 miles in between all the spotty weather...subsequently I am appreciating the Katana more and more. It really is a great all around bike...in the twisties, the straights, the everyday commuting whether highway or in town, all while being comfortable.
    I may need new tires sooner than expected... I am loving the Metzeler z6's the PO had installed, so I will get the new Interacts next time. Though I am reading they don't have original stock size so may need to go to 160 60 in the rear...I don't think it would adversely effect it much if at all noticeable, as the Bandit uses that size stock and I know some are running it with no problems....I expect the z6 interacts will be pretty sweet-anyone running those with a personal review?
    Thanks for reading!!

      This "Phat Chick" rides her own!!!
      BTW, I think they may have been correct. It does appear that BLACK is indeed the FASTEST color. R.O.R...R.I.P.M

        I think you needed that new rear about 2200 miles ago

        How did you get the safety for that it looks real worn.

          it wasn't that worn when I bought it. They were recently replaced....maybe 1k+ or so on them I think....
          Except for my work commute, most of my driving is spirited, so I know that has a little to do with the wear....
          I also have been practicing on panic braking quite a bit, and I lock it up sometimes purposely because I like to know that I won't hesitate or fear and just roll on through it-gotten pretty good at it as you can see-actually makes me
          Now I know that you don't necessarily want to lock up, and I practice getting on the brakes without locking up too-but I want to make sure I can safely manage a lock up no problem, which would explain the shorter than usual lifespan of the tire...
          really if you rotate the tire a little bit it is slightly better... just happen to be on the worst spot of the tire for those pics....
