  • New to the forum just bought a KAT

    Hello fellas, I just bought my second bike after not having ridden for 8 years. The only motorcycle I've ever ridden has been a katana. My first was a 96' 600, and the one I just bought is a 91 750. I am a sucker for older bikes in great shape, and wanted to get back into riding before buying a b-king (I know 90% of people think its ugly as sin). I loved my katana and am looking forward to picking up my new bike. I just won it on Ebay yesterday : item number 330316335443. I know its all the money for a bike that old but I can feel the love that owner put into this bike. I'm looking forward to using my katana to get back into riding. One thing.....who the heck makes a clear or aftermarket tail ight for the 88-95 style? I know my 96 had a different tail, and I can't find one for the square backed 91' I have. Have a good one!

              The pre 600 and 750 had different tails. I'm not sure exactly who is in the market of making them right now. I'm working on making some moulds right now, but I'm having some pre-production issues with my oven I have to work out first.

                          Welcome. I'm not much for the older Kat's, don't care too much for the square boxy headlight, but that is one nice looking Kat. You can tell it was well taken care of!

                              Thanks for the warm welcome guys, I just got the kat home this morning....man it is in great shape. I cant wait to give it a shakedown run and start putting some miles on her.......even though a big part of me doesn't want to wear out such a good example of a classic kat.
