    Katana 1100 SD

    I just finished rebuilding my Katana 1100 SD.
    Here it is with my GS 1000 ST in the background:


    I haven't tried it yet waiting for better weather...

    I think that first pic would make a GREAT b.o.m. candidate.
    Beautiful bikes!

          Thanks Steve
          It's a good idea but I want to fix one or two details before posting for the BOM.

              Very nice John! Where're your front turn signals though? Gotta love a nice Kat

                It's one of the details I'm working on
                I have a pair of original turn signals but I'm hesitating to put them back on as they tend to crack the fairing's fiberglass
                If anyone knows of a good alternative that fits in the same place let me know?
                The rear view mirrors are also missing although I have them ready...

                  Aaah I see... if it's vibration related, can you put a thin rubber pad either side of the fibreglass?

                    Hi Pete,
                    It's not only the vibrations but the sheer bulk of the turn signal.
                    Although it's attached through a rubber grommet there is very little play and if anyone hits it inadvertently ...the fairing is damaged!
                    I found these turn signals that seem OK?
                    I had to make a small adapter plate ( 15*15*10) to hold them in place.
                    What do you think?

                      I LIKE those turn signals! Where can I get them? Thanks, Ray.

                        Subtle but effective I would say John

                          Those are what I have on my bike. I know bikemaster makes a version. I have no problems with mine they are small and blend in with the bike when not in use, but give a big flash when used.

                            Hi Ray, these are the ones I bought.
                            I'm sure they come from China
                            I bet you can get the equivalent in the USA!

                              Here's some by Lockhart that are similar. They usually come in different body and lens color combinations.
