My 1983 Kat 750 looooooong term project

Thank you! I haven't figured them yet. I'd like around 29 degrees/ 4 inches, but have to wait until I have my swingarm and shock handy to work it all out.

You might want to steepen your rake numbers a bit for quicker steering by raising up the rear. Just make sure your chain/swingarm clearance is still good. I'm at about 26.5 degrees rake and 4 inches trail. It steers fast but still is stable in the corners.

I don't think this one will make it into Greasy kulture though. I'm watching this one closely.

Ha! You saw that huh?

Thanks for the info, I'll do that.

Whoops, reviewed my notes and that's 24.5 degrees, not 26.5 degrees. Are you planning on using a steering damper? Cheap insurance against tank slappers....

Yeah, I have a late model GSXR damper that'll get mounted to the headstock
