  • 1997 Katana 600 Looks

    Hey guys new member here. I'm looking at acquiring a 1997 Katana 600 but I hate the look of the headlight. Is there something I could do to make it look better ?

    If you want to maintain a relatively stock look, not without a lot of time and effort. 92Junker modded in a gsxr? Headlight and has a thread on it. If you find it, it'll give you an idea on hiw labir intensive the process is.
    If you're going to street fighter it, there's a lot of available options. Few look great on a kat in my opinion, so I'm not much help for suggestions there.

      Yamaha fZR headlight is better looking and relatively the same shape.
      http://m.ebay.com/itm/94-95-96-97-Ya...554?nav=SEARCH This would be interesting.
      <<< GSXR headlight. Not for the budget minded, you'll need to cut up a $200+ headlight. Looks great though.

        Budgets not to much of a concern

        Also I like street fighters and think they look great but I wouldn't want to cut on the bike

            Damn, I wish I thought of that a couple years and a couple grand ago..
            I agree on both counts. If it works leave it but, it is a typical 80-90's headlight and ugly.

              Do you have any pictures of your bike and it's setup

                    If you click my name you see a pic of the whole bike. Used to have garages where we had info and pics but, that is no longer supported.

                      Thanks I saw it

                      I'm thinking I may just remove the front nose and headlight and do something else

                      Also do they make fender Eliminators for the Katana series.

                        I haven't seen one for the pre. Most just cut it off. Search shovel chop.

                          I've found that the easiest way to change headlights, undertail, power, ergonomics etc on a Katana, regardless of year...is to buy a Gixxer/CBR, R6-1, ZX model.

                          Just sayin.

                              You and I have different opinions on the definition of joy.
