    A Special Note about Email accounts!
    DO NOT SIGN UP USING hotmail, outlook, gmx, sbcglobal, att, bellsouth or email.com. They delete our forum signup emails.

    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

If this one turns out like all the rest of your restorations, Nardy's beauty might have a worthy companion. They've aged very gracefully and look better then ever today. PM me if you need a re-paint, Joe. I'd love a chance to be on board with this one, too. ;)

It will be on its way to Spokane soon....:)
 
Where did you find this Kat?

Did you find this in PA?
 
I had a line on one but the guy seemed to be reluctant to sell it and he was very hard to get a hold of. I tried another run at it a couple of weeks ago but he's still playing hard to get. It was a low miles Kat like yours so I was thinking you may have gotten to him.
 
Man even with the taped up rear, missing bodywork and dirt it is still a good looking bike man. Great starting point to make a sweet rider.
 
Finished up the POR 15 take seal today, getting ready to send off to Meticulous...

Picked these up a few months back, they are about a 1/2 inch longer than stock.

Sized up the rear 1150 wheel today, have some spacing to address. The 160 is too big I think a 140 80 17 or possibly a 150 might look better.

Not sure how I missed this - great find! I look forward to the finished Kat - she'll be sweet. Stock pipes too, very nice....

hmmmm, those would look great on my bike.....

very nice, glad to see there is new stuff for our old girls
 
Great looking shocks and pipe, Joe. Resto-mod superbikes are one of the next big trends.. I don't have to tell you that, though...;) Happy to be a part of it.
