I took it out on a ride with some friends to WV a few weeks back, Memorial weekend actually, and MAN that thing LOVED those twisty mountain roads. Hows your Kat coming along? Messed with it at all? Theres a guy on here selling off Kat parts, almost a whole bike it looked like.
I decided to hold of on the Kat until I can devote the money and time it requires. I really want that bike to be something special. An 1150 engine and fully upgraded suspension will probably get slotted into that beast.

NOICE! The 750B cafe is JUST about done. I had to buy a new set of carbies for it, cos the slide in my number one got hoplessly siezed by rain water of all things. Teach me to not cover my pods up! I tried EVERYTHING to get it loose. Wasnt happening. So i have a new set of carbs. Just got them the other day, have to clean em, change the jets over from my others, and put them in my rack cos the choke set up is different on them. But no biggie. Just been doing more riding and working than wrenching lately. I also picked up 1/4 turn throttle set up for it, and im waiting for that to get here too. (got one for the 1100G too, tho i dunno if I will like it on that..we'll see) I also have to swap out the rear wheel, as its run out of true. Got some new spokies to throw on it, but need some rubber on em first. Always something with these damn things...lol. She SHOULD handle like a SOB tho. Cant wait to see that Kaw done man! Get some vids up when you do, i wanna hear it runnin!

Update on Cafe Bike
Well over the winter and now dragging into the summer I have upgraded the 550cc to a 650cc with head, cylinders, pistons, carb, etc. Put a small powder coat oven in the basement and gave the engine a nice new shiny paint job. ,
Still messing with the carbs so if any one has done this conversion and can assist on which jets seem to work best that would be great. I bought the carbs off eBay so the jets are what came with it.
