    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.

Hi,

I am trying to find out (with not much luck) if there is another tank I can run on my Kat (I am rebuilding mine, and I want to go for the round headlight streetfighter look).

If anybody knows if the GS1100E tank will fit, I like that design.

Cheers,

Tim

I played around with that concept a few years ago. Anything can be done with the appropriate cutting and welding tools. It is not worth the hassle. If you want the GS 1100E look, get a GS1100E and part the Kitty. The two bikes are not that similar.
My 2 cents, it's not worth slicing up a Katana. There's lots of eager buyers out there for parts. My katana chassis went to a very happy buyer in Canada.

It will fit. The rear (where it it bolted to the frame) is different. El G.
