Congrats on the new ride. If anyone can bring it to a tip top shape it's you.

Well done Marc, and everyone else. What a great story. That bike is going to become the KR posterbike in no time. Maybe KOTM? KOTY?

Glad to hear it worked out with this bike CP. I'm not sure if it will fit (though I know that you will know) but I have a near new OEM can and mid-pipe from my '06 600. If I recall correctly, it came off at about 3500-4000km.
It's yours for the cost of shipping if you are interested.

Thanks Spud, but Matt already came through locally with one I can have (just gotta drive about an hour each way), so I'm going that route instead... I've been meaning to get together and meet him anyway -- great excuse!

Marc,
I have a 160/60 Bridgestone Battleax out in the shed that I took off last spring (BT56 I think). It's yours if you want it.... it's no Z6, but has some decent tread left on it.

Thanks Steve -- I really appreciate the offer... check your PM's. I'm not hurting for a rear at this point...

That's a bit over-board. If you've never noticed, I've never had KOTM, much less KOTY in all the years I've had Kats... even when I had pretty ones

I am not understanding the trade part, but if the pipe will bolt on to a 99 GSXR-600, I would be interested in it. Please explain about the "plastic weld/bondo tank dent/paint UK cop style" thing, if you mean you would want someone to do the repair and paint, my neighbor is good and perhaps I could pay him to do the work. 'Course, he and I are in Marietta, GA...

I may have the rear rotor, and am very confident I have the peg/guard, but need a clear pic of one to make sure (don't have a Kat750 to compare.) I have some very good front tires here, too, but don't recall make and don't have time to look at the mo.

That's great CP.

Yes, the can should fit (will flow right), but I suspect you'd need a different mid-pipe than the one on the 98+ Kats.

For plastic welding AND paint, I'd bring the fairing pieces up to you in person, as well as the Yoshi as the payment...

The fairing has a flat crack on the left fairing that starts on the inside of where the blinker is and moves across the lower edge of the blinker lens, plus the raised center section between the two big holes is ground away quite a bit (but no full breach there). The tank is whole, but has a dent in it that's 1/4" deep and probably 1" x 1.75" across close the rear of the tank, plus scratches that go through the paint to the primer or possibly to the metal under the primer far forward on the tank.

Here's some of the UK cop bikes & cars with the same scheme -- remember, this isn't designed to be pretty to the beholder, it's designed to be as high-visibility as humanly possible -- this is on the concept the bike would be a loaner after I move to the next bike after this one:

I may have the rear rotor, and am very confident I have the peg/guard, but need a clear pic of one to make sure (don't have a Kat750 to compare.) I have some very good front tires here, too, but don't recall make and don't have time to look at the mo.

I'll get pics at a point when it's not storming hellaciously in the great outdoors
Don't sweat the tires -- I want those new, Z6's, no matter what. It's one of the few places I won't vary or compromise at all.

Nice job CP! Kats are so fun to bring back to life!

PS. Thanks to all the folks who made the donation thread happen!

I think I have a bar somewhere in J's garage if you need one .

Congrats Cp....

Glad I could help out...

If my Kat was running and I had the title to it I'd send it Malloc's way in a heartbeat...

Hope to see it at the Rally...

Clip on , perhaps ? I thought you said one of yours was bent .....

Gotcha (I guess I didn't the first time). Yup, mine are bent (I think both sides, but I need to take them off the bike to double-check). I don't know what the differences are, but the Suzuki fiches show the pre- & 98+ to be different part numbers on those bars...

No , I have one from a 98+ I scored off of ebay a couple years ago . Tossed it in a pile of parts for our Kat business that never took off . Got a few parts up in J's garage , but mostly pre stuff .
