    Wow! Talk about raising the bar. Such a seamless mixture of old and new. This is what Suzuki should've used as a template for the new Katana.

      Possible you were up in Aurora a while ago. Saw a beautiful Kat on a Saturday or Sunday morning around Leslie and Wellington, but I was still half asleep.

        Sorry, Was not me. I had the bike at Mosport for the vintage road racing championship round.

          Thanks for the extra underseat pic's, very neat work indeed! Interesting to see your catch tank under there but it looks like it fits well, and a nice touch with the braided hose and anodised fittings too!

          I put my catch tank in the sprocket cover to try to get it to blend in with the motor a bit but after seeing your red air filter on yours I'm wondering if I should have used a red one to match my frame... might be a little much though on mine

            Always a good show.
            I was up there Saturday afternoon on the CBX.
            Watching/hearing/smelling the P3 Heavy class is a treat.

                Now that I think about it, the one I saw was painted Cooley colors. You have done a beautiful job on yours, you should be very proud.

                    Is this the Kat you saw?

                            Beautiful bike!!! This is one sweet ride. Would have to agree on the comment about this is what the new Katana should look like. Like the rear seats, now I have to change mine...Did you make the sprocket cover? Hope you dont mind if I swipe some of your ideas.

                              Sprocket cover, cam cover end caps and ignition cover are all Yoshimura pieces

                                Hi Gary,
                                we talked to each other at the vintage festival, i'm the Quebec guy that was measuring Bev's GS1100 frame.
                                Pictures don't really do justice to the bike.
