    Katana frame brace

    Posted · Edited by sharpy

    Is there a way to use that rear bracing a tad lower so it can be used as a engine mount aswell.  Save using that tube that sits above the chain by using mounts inbored on the LHS

    Slabby front brake issue - bleeding?

    Lazy way is to park bike on side stand leave it parked like that all nite with the brake lever strapped up against the throttle tube. Have handle bars turned to the left so all the air flaots to the surface.. works wonders sometimes. But yes, always get good pressure at the master cylinder 1st when doing brakes. then work ure way down the line bleeding each connection.

    Someone recently posted a Kat for sale on the Kat buy sell swap page on the book of faces with a set of those Early ohlins. Among from the atrocities that had been committed on the kat, they'd anodised the Ohlins red.

    But that thing was THE Ohlins test bike as he was there test rider. 1st set of USD that anyone every seen when it came to OZ. G

    Yes. but there always the fastest just before that bang. Sorry only info i know.  But we did have EFE cams in a 1170c Kat engine with 33 Mikuni smoothbores and Tingate Race pipe that had 125HP on dyno. So easy to get ok HP from those engines.

    I never tire of looking at pictures of that TTF1 Heron Suzuki.

    Which one is that? There's Rogers Marshalls Superbike, Anderson's works Suz with experimental USD Ohlins Fork. (he was there test rider) and Robert Holden's Superbike for the Swan series.

    If you want you can leave the gubbins in place and just blank off the brake pipe feed. You will have to strip it first to make sure both valves are in the same position. Or you can make one plate (16 gauge) with a slot to connect both holes, and one solid plate to cover it. Couple of gaskets and job done.

    Seems you still have to make/buy a part that has room to allow oil flow through as show in Race Tech Website...     http://racetech.com/page/title/DRod 5-1

    With all due respect i thought cooling holes where only as  round as what the material thickness X 2 was ( 4mm material = 8mm holes) that was being drilled. Any more and you are creating less surface area than making. Or those holes look bigger in the pic. Ive been wrong before and will be again :)

    Was told this on another site.....   the 1988 GSXR 1100 forks that  have Racetech emulators,  the anti dives are completely non-functional including the stainless brake line extension to the anti dives.  Just need confirmation i can just make a plate.  But thanks for that info aswell
