Saw this titled frame on ebay...looks like it could be the start of a vintage kat project for someone. Honestly, if I was on the east coast I'd probably pick it up just because it's titled. Check it out...currently at $50

Wonder what the reserve is set at..... Not that I'm in any position to start another project right now though. You just have to watch with reserves.

Originally posted by Waltari View PostNot even close to 10x the cost if you can do all the work. I bought mine as a rolling chassis and honestly, I have slightly more into it than you would pay for a average condition runner. Difference is, mine has more HP than stock, more torque than stock, handles better, and is basically a brand NEW bike.sigpic

I suppose that there are parts that are adaptable but I wouldn't know where to being on a project like that. I wonder how long they made that version of the chasis. Where would you even find an engine for it? I guess it's like eating an elephant. You just do it one bite at a time.
I think the only stuff that is "hard" to find might be body work. Carbs and motor parts are easy to come by, and if I recall it's even possible to mount a "modern" 1127 oil cooled motor in that frame.-Steve
