    New guy, old bike

    Hey all! Have had my bike for a few months and just found this site... just had to get on board here.

    I reside in Chicago, IL and have a '91 Katana GSX1100F. Bike is in rough shape... bought it from some jack ass who bracket raced it. Carbs need work, has a blown head gasket (that one was my fault) and seriously needs a paint job and a stock exhaust... this vance&hines pipe is just disgusting... I'll get a picture later.. She is gonna be a great project bike but the guy didn't have a title and has no interest in helping me acquire one so... that's a problem. Excited to start working on it! Oh look... a little bacon dude...

    What shape is the exhaust in? I would be interested in it if it is not all dented up.

            the exhaust is in fine shape as far as dents. I will take some pics and send em to you of it and let me know. I'll let it go for cheap once I find a full OEM exhaust. I attached a pic of the bike. It looks a lot better than it actually is. I'm sanding it today and trying to come up with a good paint job for it.
