Anyone know manufacturer/make of these pistons? This is the only markings I can see, tops are flat with the angled clearance for the valves. Top 2 rings are 0.8mm thick, oil ring is 1.4mm thick. Thanks again

Cheers for the help guys, will check the gaps thanks.

Writing another list for engine parts for my Kat 750, and it looks like it has an 810? Kit fitted to it. (Pistons are 69.9 dia) Need to check bores for sizes, but if ok would like to just put in new rings…my question is, can you buy just new wiseco rings, and who from? I live in Perth WA, not that posting things is that much of an issue….apart from added cost! cheers in advance, Paul

Hi all, I have bought a few looms, in various states of dis repair, all supposedly for 750/1100 Katanas. Can anyone tell me if there’s an easy way to check? I think I’m right in saying the fuse box is different (hence the connectors are different) Am I correct, and are there any other differences? Thanks

Cheers for the reply Wraith

Apart from the std Kat fuel cap, do any others fit? Would any others fit with minimal mods? Or do I have to buy a race/ flat filler and mod my tank? Cheers

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

Hi can anyone with an RF 900, measure the distance from pivot to centre of the adjusters ( the length) and the widths, at pivot and rear wheel. cheers ( or tell me if they’re the same as a Bandit 12)

Cool thanks

Hi could anyone tell me the difference between a Mk1 B12 loom and a mk2 (if any) TIA Paul
