Hey guys I just got in this forum a couple days ago and posted in the intro thread... I thought I would start a build thread to keep track of my progress and also to get some opinions and advice etc... It is a 96 600 katana that I picked up for $200 from a buddy of mine, supposed to have about 12k on it but does not have the gauge cluster so who knows. Here is the pics!
So far I have pulled the gas tank and drained the old gas out and started sanding on it. I think I want to paint it semi gloss black. I am going to pull the carbs and clean them maybe this weekend and get a battery and see if I can get her running. So far I know I am going to need a headlight, gauges, battery, and a front tire...
Gauges I was thinking something like this, what do yall think?
Headlight I want to do something very similar to centidude's but I dont have any motorcycle junkyards near me so I am not sure what to do there... I think I shall look on ebay or something... Centidude if you read this what did you pull yours from?
For the tire I use to run pirelli's on my 600rr but I have heard great things about pilot power's and rode on a set for a short trip and liked them. What size should I get?
I am also thinking of doing a single exit exhaust with a slip on... I have seen the delkovic systems on ebay but they seem like they would be loud? Any thoughts?
