busa ash Posted January 1, 2022 Author Posted January 1, 2022 Frame is away having chain run side channelled . Top shock mounts re engineered. Braced swingarm is having new style shock mounts fitted.threaded bosses welded on to frame for gsx1100e footrests . And new reducing tophats making for the swingarm pivot . To centralise the swingarm in the katanas frame . No time scale mentioned as the engineer is busy so it will be done when its done . 2 Quote
