Hi I'm stu I live on the iom. Hi to all 🤘🏾 I'm building a katana it's a 1981 South African import i sold off my rg500 rs500 project to fund the build. A very heartbreaking sale.

But the specs so far are astralite 17inch rims /pfm monoblocks/ ap rear /1260 kit /stage 2 cams /metmachex arm/ twin endurance filler/ motogpwerks hi level pipe /galespeed m/c /rs38 mikkys/spondon adjustable triples / twin guzzler/frame needs a bit of work also picked up new twin fox piggybacks There's a lot of work to do as soon as I can upload pics I will post. Cheers stu

Welcome to the madhouse. Back to building now you've got the classic TT out of the way!

There are a couple of posts about pictures. We all used to use Photobucket until their costs become unreasonable. There are a couple of other hosting sites people are using, one of which is Flickr, I can't remember the other offhand.

Welcome to the site, Stu.
A guy near me has a Walter Wolf Special with Jolly pipes.
Haven't seen the bike this summer but i remember the lovely racket it makes when up in the revs.
Looking forward to the hot rod Kat build.
