Streetfighters Show 2006 Posted Thursday, June 8, 2006 by PerversePolisher
At last, the pics you've all been waiting for. The gallery has been completed and added into PP's pages. As most of you know the weekend was a massive success. You couldn't go anywhere around Santa Pod without seeing another OldSkoolSUZUKI.info t-shirt or hoodie. So thanks to everyone who helped out and turned up to show support.

1500cc Turbo Nitrous Katana rebuild by Gary Stenner Posted Tuesday, June 6, 2006 by Mr.7/11
It was at Santa Pod when I suddenly stood eye-to-eye with one of my favourite Katanas (the others being the Yoshimura 1135R and my own project). I had lost track of this bike that was once one of the fastest Katanas on the planet in the hands of Richard Stubbins, that was sold by BigCC after they moved on to the Hayabusas. It popped up at the .infoBoard and I was afraid it'd end up as a pile of bits being broken, so you can maybe imagine my happiness when it stood in front of me in one piece.
When I started talking to it's current owner Gary Stenner it became apparant that below it's bright yellow skin a lot had changed, and when he told me how he completely reworked the bike and braced the frame according to the article I wrote a while ago which helped the chassis cope with the tremendous power, I felt true happyness :-)

Katana.project fork brace Posted Tuesday, June 6, 2006 by Mr.7/11
As an act of ultimate bluntness I decided to post a drawing of a fork brace design for the Kat a few weeks ago to see what happened...
Rich from FHMoto was the first to pick it up in co-operation with Manic Motorcycles and by now a 10mm bit should be making light work of some aluminum plate.
Thanks to all the other offers I got, there was even one from Denmark. No need to despair for those who got turned down though, as this was only a test for greater things to happen. I'll start modelling the outrigger countershaft support soon to satisfy all your milling needs. If there's something I can't stand it's a CNC mill getting bored ;-)
