  2. Unfortunately as of today as i was going to clean out the head and lap the valves, i discovered a crack between the sparkplugwell and an inlet valve in cylinder 2 and 3. So i guess ill be needing a new head. The rest of the engine looks REALLY good, pistons, walls, cams, rockers etc. What head will be my best option? I've read that a GSXR1100 (86-90) or GSXR750(87-89 short stroke) would be a good improvement cause of better airflow. Are one of these a straight bolt on or what should i be expecting?
  3. Hi! I have bought myself a very rare NEW 1984 Katana 1100SE gas tank! Now I have to paint my spare cowling in the same Suzuki colour Candy Gypsy Red, Suzuki 00J. Anyone by chance now the equivalent colour-code in modern paint-systems, at my work we use PPG paint on repairing cars and trucks.
  4. Hey Guys, Let me start by saying the Katana like thing I have bought has consumed me. I am just coming off building a turbocharged KZ1000 and am now throwing my efforts into the Kat. This is the only "katana" I've ever seen, let alone owned. I've wanted one for years and have never even seen one up for sale. The reason I hesitate to call it a true Kat is that its an 1150 motor in a 750 frame with gsxr wheels and unidentified suspension parts (but I suspect they are gsxr as well based on a conversation with the PO, but he wasn't firm on that). The frame appears to have been hit by something too, messing up a tube near the passenger peg mount. Perfect for me because I won't get all precious about it and lose sleep over removing a bracket or two. Pretty liberating compared to the H2 that was going to be my next project if this Kat hadn't come along. I really need help both figuring out what I have and where to go with it all. Not looking to be spoon fed, but I'm having trouble finding info on the differences between this motor and the stock 1100. I would like to understand parts interchangeability and that sort of thing. Any articles or helpful posts would be good. Even just an idea of what to search for! Also, if you guys recognize the forks or rear brakes, I'd love to know what they are, if only to replace the pads. Hoping to get a bit of discussion going here to help sort out what I'm looking at. The bike is an ex road racer turned drag bike, so its a real mash up. I've already swapped in a 2008 Katana swing arm and I'm considering a B12 front end swap, but this isn't the spot for that discussion. I'll start a build thread if I feel like I can keep it full of interesting content. Thanks!
