Bought a Gsx 750 frame that someone had started to mod for a bobber.........there is a fare bit of difference, but I guess I need to pull my finger out and get on with things......

This is what I was wondering.......might look for a gsx frame too! Thanks Thats prob what I should of said in the beginning, a Kat silhouette...

I already have a 750 Kat, that I was going to put a B12 motor in. I was toying with the idea of buying another frame ( there’s aGS one advertised near me, hence the question), and building that into a pretend Kat, whilst keeping the real Kat as is/restoring when I can. The tank, is the biggest/expensive part (as mentioned), but most of the other parts are fairly easily available ( as copies), but that doesn’t bother me (too much). It is more expense, work and hassle, but I’m just trying to gauge the problems, before I jump in and commit. Appreciate the comments, thanks

Hi, is there much difference between a gs750 frame and a Kat frame? Thanks

Next on the shopping list is a pipe for the Bandit lump ( before I make the mounts to fit it into the Kat frame). Questions.....will the Kat (750) pipe fit/ work/ be any good? Do later GSXRs (2000 on) fit? -sort of, no chance? Dont really want std down pipes, although would do for mock up/engine positioning. Thanks in advance for the replies (again) paul

Would 1984-1988 engine covers (ends of crank), fit a 1999 b12 engine? Cheers

Great thanks for confirming that

Hi all, are 600 bandit cases the same as 1200, in so much as the engine mounts are in the same place? thanks

Not sure, the fairing frame on this, is not a Katana one. Unsure of what it’s actually from, it’s a bit beat up and has brackets welded on randomly......

Yes proper Katana not an imposter......

Cheers, will do. After reading the replies, I will use the drawings as suggested as a start point, and adjust/ mod as necessary. Now to buy a set of pipes for the bandit engine....... Paul

Looking to fit a set of 5 spoke wheels in my bandit swing armed katana, anyone know which are easiest, which to avoid? (5.5” rear) looking at a set of cb1300 near to me Thanks Paul

Cheers for the help, appreciated

Hi i did a search for this, but couldn’t find much........does anyone have any drawings/sketches they would share of mounting a B12 motor into a 750 Katana frame? Failing that, could anyone tell/advise on the best way to go about this? cheers Paul
