thats an odd looking turbo header...:-k
i posted a couple times in my ad for you to call me on my land line instead of my cell.
this is only if you was the person calling me from Canada about turbo parts.
nice looking bike and that 1166 will rock with the rajay set up.:evil:
 
back in action

back in action

back to work on the kat. welded up a bunch of holes in the frame,cut off the old shock mounts,notched the frame for turbo clearance,ordered adjustable lowering links,cut off the kickstand and stood back and admired what will be.sorry i,ll get some pics tomorrow
 
back to work on the kat,swingarm extended by Richard biggs,frame back from the powdercoater,wheels polished and new battleaxe bt003s installed,seat back from upholstery cover to be removed for embroidery,thinking i am going to embroider the kanji logo on both sides.spoke with a couple painters and think i will go with hotrod hell in bolton
 
swingarm extension

swingarm extension

looks better than the boltons
 
i guess the winter kat has transformed to the summer kat,started bolting the beast back together,new wheel bearings and seals and all new stainless fasteners.gotta do something with the tailsection the kat tails just dont do it for me.cleaned up the engine for a paint freshening and finally cleaned up the poolhouse where this bike resides.Any ideas on the tail i am open?
 
No that the buffalo racer is done the turbo kat is on the hoist and wanting some loving. Parts are ordered so it's time to finish this bad boy. Lockup coming from Rapidray, Dyna 2000 and auto meter boost and air fuel gauges just arrived, new chain and sprockets mounted and an oil distribution block coming from Mr turbo. Have a question to float out there. My sensor for air fuel is there any problem with mounting in the dump pipe after the turbo
 
as she sits today. i absolutely love Kats especially stretched prostreet looking ones. Just sold the gixxer 11 so i have some money to play.i have made a point to NOT do anything else till this ones done
 
Wait a minute...Not doing anything else until the Kat is done?

Buffalo is all done and turned out sweet in my opinion.as for the Zeds if i can swing a deal for Richards they will be gone in a heartbeat
 
In the process of wiring the kat and have purchased the Dyna curve maker software for my 2000 and I want to use my air/fuel fails age to retard my ignition on a lean condition. What would be the cutoff for air/fuel and how far should I retard?
 
finished the wiring on the kat and ordered new brake lines cause the red didnt go,fabricated a new brake strut for rear out of 1x3/8 alum and am sending it to a buddys for engraving,not sure what i am putting on it. peeled out the clutch and sending out for a heavy duty backing plate and still waiting on my RBD cover and cable. friend of mine refinises wheels and just picked up a chroming machine so were gonna test it out on the kat wheels.fabricated a new dash for gauges and covered the windscreen and dash with genuine imitation 3m carbon fiber.new projector beam HID is BRIGHT

Dang, that is one sweet smoker. That one should be on the cover of something. Wish I had the funds I would take it off your hands without even thinking twice.

Thanks. It will be featured in Cycle Canada as a showcase in the spring. For a little old 750 it loves to have the front wheel in the air anything above 6k
