It is a VJ21 motor that's fitted at the moment, but I will be fitting a fully re-furbished VJ22 lump come final assembly. The hose routing is a nightmare.........................

It's another water cooled, V-twin 2 stroke motor in a frame that originally housed a single cylinder motor..............

or TR750 - maybe too old?

VJ23A race tail - maybe too modern?

Not good for top-end performance, true - but they do enrich the low and mid-range performance, which is what I want from my road bike. And they sound like nothing else.................

It's a Strader system, made in the USA, and modified in the UK so that the tail pipe follows the line of the seat rail - hence the extensions to the header pipes. Also added some spring hanger attachments on the collector box and 3 pipes. Piper used to produce a similar system here in the UK.

Three.............................. into................................. one.............................

I like that

oooh! - I had a 600 like that..............

to preserve as many iconic Katana styling features as possible, whilst significantly updating the bike, I have had a replacement front mudguard fabricated. Shown alongside a 17" original from a GSX250S, it is wider to allow it to fit over a modern, wider 17" tyre...............

some more progress today...................... new air box mounting bracket fabricated and attached new air box mounting point installed air box butchered to allow clearance for frame rails and some frame bracing

I like the SB6 but I'm no fan of 1-piece fairings and batteries behind the clock set.............

you have to peek behind the fairing.................

fresh in from Holland, for less than the price of an RGV250................
