      I have seen and met Tkent. He provided a replacement stator for me on my CA road trip in 2010.

        Wow! Great story. Nancy really should be on here if she isn't already. I have ridden a few times with Debbie, who used to be on here (though I haven't seen her in a long time). Debbie is cut from this same type of cloth. I was only able to get my wife on a bike once and that was about 30 years ago, though she did sit on one while it was in the garage.

          I sent her a link to this thread and told her she needs to join. She is even thinking about looking for an 86 gsxr!

              Thanks for the flattering comments, Trevor!

              Although I still have the two Hayabusas, I have sold the Kat to a very excited couple who live about 12 hours north of Brisbane, Australia. Like they are expecting a baby! And it is going to a good home. I picked up the 08 Hayabusa this spring and it's terrific. All I did was order a Corbin seat--it's about 1.5" lower. I had a Corbin seat custom fit to me in 2000 for the 2000 Busa. We were visiting Hollister, CA and had it made while I waited, so it's lower still. Love the Yosh pipe on the 08, so I've got one for the 00 and an updated undertail, so that's my winter project. The HMF high exits are cool looking but NOISY. I even repacked the mufflers but it didn't help. I had a Yosh pipe on my 1976 (first) GS750 (see Trevor's earlier post). It eventually became a Yosh 850 and had lots of goodies on it, like a custom swing arm and magnesium rims. I painted it myself. I sold it in 82 when I bought my first Kat1100. Always wondered what became of it, so if you know of this bike, let me know! It had forks off a 78 or 79 for the dual discs.

                    Welcome to the forum, Nancy. There is quite a collective of BC riders here now.

                    There are a number of ways to do it (post images). One of the most-used is to create an account in something like Photobucket, and then post the image information to your posts that way. You can also create personal albums in your User CP at the top of the Forum window. I'm sure you have already seen the little photo icon at the top of the message box, but it's odd in that it will only link to a URL rather than posting an image directly into the message.

                    Supposedly you can copy and paste images directly into messages, and I've seen plenty of pictures where the poster says they have done that; personally I've not been able to do that in the last number of months.

                      - Upload your picture
                      - Under each picture is an "image code"
                      - copy and paste that code into the text in your post

                      EEEEasy.

                          Welcome to the forum Nancy! I'm a bit of a Kat fan myself although I haven't gone down the path of ownership just yet... I'm contemplating an early 81 or 82 750 as my first foray into Kats.

                          Your Kat is headed 12 hours north of me... very interesting! Let them know about the Katana Australia forum too (members.suzuki-katana.net) as the guys here are quite active and we will be having a combined GS Resources and Katana forum run on the 18th November.
