I just picked up a '97 kat 600 for a friend this past saturday, and the most glaring difference (between my his 600 and my '92 750) is the tail section... the 600 looks so much more modern than the 750. So it got me thinking about the physical differences between the models and what might be interchangable...
I noticed that all the replacement panels listed for the early kats in my dennis kirk catalog were the same part numbers, the only exception being the rear panels...
How difficult it would be to swap a pre-98 kat 600 tail section on the 750 frame? I was just playing with fiche images from www.ronayers.com - and it appears that the frame itself is the same, but there are a few minor bolt-on parts that are different. If that's the case - a 600 tail should be a pretty straightforward swap, right?
Anyone have experience with comparing the bikes or has looked into which parts are or are not interchangable? (I did some searching through past threads, but didn't come up with any concrete info).
Also, anyone know a good place to find some "donor" parts? (like an entire pre-98 tail section?)
