Not many videos of ppl doing wheelies on a Katana.. you would almost think it isn't possible. I am running a 600 swing arm which makes it a little easier to get the front up. It's about 1.5'' shorter.

It looks like fun. I hope you don't get any tickets or road rash.

I replaced the fork seals and they still leak when I wheelie.. I don't remember if I used OEM or not. I think I did.. is there no cure for this? I've seen my dad fix seals before by shortening the spring on the seals..

I think the best part of your video is just past 1/2 way when you see to the left of you the shadow of your wheelie on the road. Glad you chose some deserted back road instead of in town. Nice !!

Ya pretty cool dude. Don't see many Kats do that. Did you change sprocket as well?

Gearing is stock. The bike being street fightered helps as well. I weighed the stock headlight.fairing stay, cluster all that stuff and it was pretty dang heavy. The street fighter headlight I'm running is plastic rather than glass. I also deleted the center stand.. went to 4-1 exhaust & K&N. I bought a SV650 subframe and tail section. Plan to do a tail swap soon. May swap on a busa front end if I can get one cheap enough.. The bike is only worth about $1k so I'm trying to be careful what I spend on it. As it sits, I have less than $400 in the whole thing. I paid $120 for it, not running. Cleaned the carbs up and got it going.

Ditto on the shadow part of vid.. .you seem to put it back down on front wheel real smooth and easy.
But safety should always be first. Nice job on all of it !!

The best cure for leaking fork seals, is to not wheelie.

[KatanaBadass]

Nice!

[KatanaGSX92]

I call CG (Computer Graphics)! Everyone knows that Kat's can't wheelie, right?

Nice work - shifting through gears like you do tells me that this isn't the first bike that you've wheelied..

[Javy23]

Cool..
