belly pans?

[Agemax]

any of you guys fitted a belly pan to your GS off a different bike? am thnking it would look good if its the right shape and fits well. cant seem to find anywhere that sells them new so was wondering if one off a different bike would fit and look ok. a bit of modding would be expected

There's a couple of guys on here with pics - look pretty smart and I'm thinking of it myself. I put one on a 550 as well once and that looked neat.

They sell them here:

Yeah, have a full set of lowers (aftermarket that came with the bike) for the Kat, look good but prefer the naked look ( Where are ya Zooks, you won't let that one slip by will you?) I did not have trouble with engine heat when they were fitted but air temps at the time only got to 35 C, also change engine oil and filter every 3000km so even if it was getting hot the oil didn't get much of a chance to breakdown. Sorry no pics as the lowers are on a rack in the shed at this time, when I can get at them I'll rest them against the Kat to give you some idea what they look like, cheers.

but prefer the naked look

Funny you say that, your missus said she preferred the look of me naked.

Thanks Zooks, she remembers that day very well.

Hi Agemax, these are not belly pans I know but thought the full lowers might offer some ideas for you. They are an aftermarket item that was popular with Katana owners in the eighties, the UK may have had a version as well? Cheers.

ok here is what it looks like now, just bodged on. i have filled the old mounting holes, redrilled new front ones, just need to make up some mounting brackets for the rear then prep it properly and spray it

[Headphase]

that looks no bad at all, eh.
I reckon a trip down the breakers might be in order tomorrow

What do you clean/paint your black pipes with, I just got a 650 with a set on?

[StrtLegal]

Heres another, it came with the bike when I bought it I'll try to find out where its from
