    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

And my "next" Baby Kat...

And my "next" Baby Kat...

Well if all goes ok...maybe two Baby Kats?....:rolleyes:
 
Nice SweetP. I'm in process on mine. I have never seen another one on the road..ever. Can't wait to get her finished up. Yours looks great!
 
Thanks Sci! I havn't seen one around either myself! My buddies tell me there is guy nearby with one, but havn't seen it, but they tell me it's a wreck! It's a lot of fun to ride! Do you have a thread going on your rebuild?
 
This beautiful Katana with 3k on the odometer was sold to the Solvang Museum in Ca.
 
...a couple more sitting in my garage and also one being built for AHRMA racing in 2013.
 
Now Joe, you can't just tease us with those two pics, even if you have to put the pics of the hot rod Honda in the "Other Projects".
Looks and sounds like quite a stable going on there.

Is the 900SD yours? Always liked the look of them.

My new ride

My new ride

Here's two pics of my new ride, just been done with tinkerin'.

The engine is elevated by 10 mm by new engine mounts. My aim was to gain more ground clearance when doing turns in a more enthusiastic way.

What rubber mounts do you mean? :?:
 
That appears to be a 1150 motor, which buzzes noticeably more than a 1100. What do they call them in Europe GSX?

Not sure over there, but over here all the 1150's came with rubber mounts to quell the buzzing.

When I transplanted my 1150 engine into my '83 Kat frame, I rode for awhile like this noticing the excessive buzzing through pegs, bars, everywhere basically. I had a local machine shop graft the rubber mounts onto the stock brackets.

Supposedly it comes from bigger wristpins than the 1100 used.

I also have an 1150 motor on one of my Kat's but I'm not sure it vibrates much more than my 1100?

They are called GSX 1135 over here. Never new they were fitted with rubber mounts. The stocker I butchered for that project did not have any, so we found another difference between the markets.
