zx Kat has been fitted with keyless ignition

[katman]

Here are the final pics of the project. 82 kat with 80 1100e tail, zx running gear and a LOAD of other stuff.
I also put on an RFID keyless ignition that I pieced together myself. You can see it in action on youtube under "keyless katana" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rw8WiYMe8-c

Hey Rob, Very clean Kat and nice video's there. Where do you install the interlock to disable the ignition? How hard is it to subvert?

I love that style of tail section on it, different yet could pass as stock to the unknowing. Can I ask what front fork assy/front wheel is that?

Yes it is. Delivery is Sunday. He doesn't want the keyless ignition so I removed it.

forks and running gear are zx1200rr, front fender is a ducati I believe.

the forks running gear was supplied by the owner and a dude named Richard in Ontario fabbed the zx swingarm up and triples.

Man...that really blends old school and slashes of today's designs... Great work....

Excellent work!

Now that you are done, I like the tail section.

What does the insignia on the tank mean?

Looks KILLER Rob, yet another awesome piece of motorcycle art. I wasnt keen on the 81 1100 tail, but now that i see it all together it doesnt stick out as bad as i though it would. Looks like it belongs. Nice!

Thanks Kid,

We talked about that when I delivered it. It actually looks longer in the pics than in person. The owner is quite happy with the whole package. So happy in fact he gave me his early 70s Honda 750 cafe racer to finish

Rob,

Love the tail, never would have thought of it, but it goes together well! In fact I like it better than a Kat tail. Great build quality. The RSU forks look appropriate as well.

If it were mine I would try to fill the side of the battery box void
Don't get me wrong, its definitely another a work of art (as usual).

thanks for you kind words M8.

do you mean something like what I am doing on my R1 kat build?

[flyanimator]

Hey Katman, I'm interested in adding rfid ignition on my gs1100lt. Can you give me some pointers on how you wired it in and where you got the rfid reader and other parts from? I'm rewiring my bike with a custom made harness that I'm making and would like to incorporate this while i'm at it or at least add provisions to easily integrate it at a later time. Thanks for any help you can give me.
