Here's the project I've been working on for a while. It's a '95 Katana 750 and it was my fathers bike that he bought new in '95. It was sitting in the garage for about 10 years and only got 6800 miles on it.
My intention was to make the bike run and sell it. I already had a bike (Honda shadow) and thought the Katana looked soooo outdated with all the purple and green fake mud patterns. I know this is a katana forum so many of you got to love the style of it but for me it's the ugliest thing in the world.
I've managed to make the bike work properly and when I did my first ride with it, well, I felt in love with it!! Then the bike got tipped over on the right side by a car while parked. Result: right mirror and turn signal shattered also the plastics scratched up. Couple weeks later my father dropped it on it's left side in the driveway. Result: same damage as the right side but now on the left side.
I've decided to keep it and build a project with it so there is the progress so far:
I'll be posting more pictures on fabrication details in the next days as well as the progress of the build.
In the meantime, have a nice one!
