It does change it a bit but I can run at high speeds without the stabilizer. With the kat headlight bracket you will have to relocate or us a aftermarket stabilizer. The stock busa location hits the back of the headlight, well a oem katana light, on this setup, it might clear!


if you look back toward the front, you will see the lower triple with all stops and stabilizer tabs shaved off!

See that's where we ended up doing more work and welding...we created steering stops like the Honda Hurricanes...they have this metal trapezoidal piece of metal welded to the bottom of the steering neck...this will hit the steering stops...we then drilled and tapped a hole where the steering stabilizer connects..we also used a fork clamp for the other end of where the stabilizer connects...I will post pics of this next time I go over to my buddies house, I forgot my camera last time I was there.

Yeah we found out after we did this mod that the stabilizer hit the OEM light that is why we ended up looking into the dual headlight system. As long as the dual is 1inch less width we'll be ok. The other option was to push the OEM light farther out but it would probably look funny...

Very nice!!!! Glad you followed your dreams, and once the small stuff is worked out, it'll be one heck of a ride! Congrats!

that setup of the brakes makes the katana stop like any SS. Budget was not allowing SS lines to happen tho. I supplied enough parts from my bike anyway

No SS brake lines? Seems like a missing piece.

that looks great!

Did it change the geometry much or handling? I was worried about that and is why we decided (my buddy, a mechanic we know) to use the stabilizer..

So for the headlight attachment you didn't use the old headlight cage? By the way you guys didn't use the stabilizer from the Busa did you? I just finished putting on the GSXR front stabilizer and when I went to put the cage and headlight back on...well there is a bit of a space issue...

we didnt use the stabilizer.

[Jax]

that was my idea jax, try to make them look as stock as possible. almost like suzuki had a good idea for the kat. the center piece started out as a airtech number plate. like first or second page and is white.
I had to custom make brackets and trim the outer housing to fit.

there is one main power wire and on main ground for the post. I wired the gauge light thru those. check the seperate connections for the faces.

[Thisizfit]

where did u find the reverse glow gauge covers?

[4g vtec]

cant wait to come over and check it out, i will sure come sunday if you are out and about

just a little carb work will take care of that idle issue

thats exactly what was happening to me and making sure the pilot screw is 2.5 turns out and a carb synchronizing took care of all that ever since

[mreedohio]

next sunday hopefully if the wife lets me go out for that long. i'd like to take care of some of the minor issues first before i ride with you guys
