Even though the 11 and 12’s aren’t dirt cheap, wouldn’t a teapot 750 or GSXR750 motor be a cheaper easier big bore than an aftermarket kit with buying pistons, gaskets, rebore etc ? A fire breathing bigbore motor would have some appeal if it was kept stock looking in a stock looking bike though.

Ron Williams / Maxton did mine. They were solid with no oil ways and blanked and locked up the forks solid. The clever bit was drilling the rod inside the forks, the size and position of the hole etc. Worked fine.

I love the idea of a trick framed Kat, I guess with an 1135E or oilcooled lump, modern running gear, trick frame and arm etc etc, there isn’t really any Kat there, just a Kat style or Kat tribute… but either way I love the idea.

I love it ! …. and I’m more than a little envious. So it’s a totally brand new frame ? Built in the style / as a tribute / on the same theme, as the 2 frames that were modded 750W frames to take oil cooled motors ? Very drool worthy.

Note to self: Don’t post up the welding on my cracked Hayabusa frame that’s had 17 years of abuse.
