Hello everyone,
I just picked up a 99 katana 600. The bike was wrecked, all plastics besides the back end are gone, the headlights are gone, the speedo and cluster is missing. It has some crappy after market headlight. Spray painted tank, etc. Pretty much a giant pos
Anyway I picked it up for spare change and the motor runs like a champ. The main problem outside of the horribly nasty cosmetics that I will address later, is the fact that the bike will not come out of gear (won't shift) so I will have to address and research that (a main reason for joining here).
I plan on making the bike into a street fighter with thoughts of making the bike into a custom (street fighter type/sport bike type) hybrid. I have seen a few made this way and it looks cool.
Anyway I will take pictures and track my progress and post it all up for people to see because thats always fun.
I will be looking into common issues with the bike but feel free the chime in on advice on things to look out for
Thank you guys,
Joey
