  1. Stick a gsx1100j 18" front wheel on it
  2. Easiest way is a 600 bandit rear wheel, gs500 twin sprocket carrier, 530 chain conversion and a gsx750f (teapot) rear caliper. Running all makes of 150/70 rear tyre you will have no issues , some manufacturers 160/60 will also fit
  3. The two o rings on the nuts you are on about mean you get a leak that for all the world looks like a failed head gasket between the two front cylinders Buy a couple of genuine o rings and a rocker cover gasket and change the o rings one at a time and retorque the nuts , if the leak stops then it is a cheap and easy fix, if it does not then you have more work to change the head gasket but the price of the o rings and rocker cover gasket will not be wasted ss you need them anyway
  4. Had one on my bmw f800gsa, very good quality, light weight and quiet with the baffle in , as good a quality as Laser, Remus , Mivv , Leo Vinci that I have owned in the past. Also had a set of their downpipes on a Kawasaki Versys 650 and again they were very good
  5. Spent ages in the early 90's trying to find a decent Guiliari seat for the Katana, no chance of getting a black one so settled for a new old stock white one which I picked up at a reasonable price from the Stafford show. Luckily I tried it before I got it recovered and it was far less comfortable than the standard seat , so I got rid of it and ended up getting the standard eeat recovered in Alcantara
  6. Possibly code YD7 Glacial blue silver metallic
  7. Got to be careful with the Kat ones, mine is a 1981 production bike registered in early 1982 ( definitely an SZ model ) which I have owned since 1984 when it had 3000 miles on the clock ,it had silver bodywork and the silver motor yet it has the later 20 bolt gasket with the 4 extra cam chain tunnel bolts which Suzuki reckoned was a mod that came in with the black painted SD engines along with the other engine changes
  8. My Giuliari seat on a very very long term (and often abandoned ) Suzuki GSX750ED project bike , seat was dirt cheap and recovered superbly by Saddlecraft in South Shields

    Front sprocket

    Go onto the jt sprockets website ,their online catalogue gives comparison details
  10. Ditch the entire front end fit, something like a mk1 600 bandit forks, yokes, wheel and brakes and at the rear fit a 600 bandit wheel using a gs500 twin cush drive with a early gsx750f teapot caliper
  11. Way back in the early 80's the standard twin leading shoe brake on my T500 was shall we say poor, on my GT500a the single disc was little better so it ended up with the fork legs and double discs from a GT750b which were okay (ish). Still fancy another T500 or GT500 but the prices are utterly ridiculous , in September I bought an 18 plate KTM 1090 Adventure for the same price of a good T500

    Gsx et panels

    The katana sidepanels they do are good quality
  13. Oddly enough over the years I have seen a few sets of cut Katana frame rails for sale on Eblag.de. Presumably removed to fit Speer seats
  14. To go back to standard seat and cowl you need to reinstate the rear frame rails as they are chopped to fit the Speer seat, it was the reason I did not fit one to mine in the late 80's when I had the chance of one on the cheap
