Iv'e had my 98 katana for a while now. it was my first bike and my cousin wrecked it while I was out of town about 2 1/2 years ago on a gravel road. Still haven't been paid back.
Anyway sold my CBR last fall to pay for school and Now I'm back to the first bike.
I'll have to dig up some pictures from after the wreck but it wasnt too bad. alot of plastic damage, clutch cover plate, and one of the plates on the other side of the motor, plus 2 years of sitting with old fuel. Got it to start about 2 months ago. (a little inspiration).
Yanked the plastics, bobbed the tail.... in the middle of buying carpet this month my fiance lost my seat. (I had used the stock seat but removed about 9 inches from the middle and had it in my truck to get recovered, about 6 hours of work shaping that damn thing).
So as it sits now mods are.
Shortened, hollowed and repacked stock exhaust.
86 gsxr cams (yeah not the best year but they were 15$)
playing with jets right now. Not sure how I feel about pods but I bought em, figure why not try.
Smooshed my hand putting a 165 rear on (but it looks better)
Trying to find a good buy on a rear spoket and chain or a 520 kit want to go up about 3 teeth
Acerbis front headlight, also have some other options.
prolly forgot some little things that I changed
I'll throw up some pics as soon as I find em to make up for my rambling story
