          Got some photo's of my Katana

          Thanks for the great welcome! I've put a few miles on my bike and, man, it's good to be back. Practicing the slow speed manouvers, getting a feel and also getting on the throttle - this is a fast bike! So now a few comments on some maintenance to be done.

          1. Need to deal with a vibrating / noisy fairing. At low rpms it buzzes pretty bad. I'm thinking of dynamatting the inside of fairings and then remounting. What do you think of that solution?

          2. Blown front fork seal. Leaking pretty bad after a long ride. Should I replace the springs at the same time or just fill with 15 weight and forget about it.

          3. My Bridgestone's feel like wood....new tires or GSXR wheels/tires?

          4. Front wheel feels like it is out of balance slight bump on flat pavement. Can't notice it at higher speeds really.

          What a great bike though....really going to enjoy this ride. Big, heavy and powerful.
