Katana hot rod by Icon
I haven’t seen a post on this so sorry if it’s already been done but this Katana built by Icon “partners” is pretty cool. Especially with the professional video. Here’s a link to the page on their site.

Not sure if it's been on here before but I've seen it a few times now as well as a brief section on a TV show about it, pretty cool indeed!
That actually had me thinking of trying an oil cooler in the cowl of my project Kat early on, but getting proper headlights working below it was what made that plan come unstuck... like everything else on a Kat the stock rectangular headlight is still way cool in my opinion anyway1982 GS450E - The Wee Beastie

I enjoyed them both..the bike and the girl. Seemed appropriate for the post apocalyptic before and after visions of that race track. Can't imagine having the kind of power on tap to smoke a tire like that at any given time..amazing control and riding ability.1979 GS1000S,

Cool cycle. I think the oil cooled engine is a nice power adding and weight reducing addition to a GS based hot rod. The looks of the oil cooled unit have been growing on me as well.sigpic

Vs. all the other work i've done on it. It is what would be called a full resto-mod, frame, seat, fuel tank, side covers and tail piece are the only original parts left. '88-'89 gsxr and '89-'96 gsx750f's had those engines.Dee Durant '83 750es (Overly molested...) '88 gl1500 (Yep, a wing...)
