busa ash Posted December 30, 2021 Author Share Posted December 30, 2021 Paintwork off to painter. Going non standard colours as i like what i like 3 Quote Link to comment
busa ash Posted January 1, 2022 Author Share 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 Link to comment
