They are 1500 quid or so here, unless you have a Yosh sticker on the float bowls and paint the tops red, then they're 2500 quid Quote Link to comment
Kamikaze Posted February 25, 2022 Share Posted February 25, 2022 This cheap....!!!!!! and if ur not fussed about new ones u can find second hand ones on yahoo japan auction site for less. Yeah sure u pay shipping and taxes on top but still works out cheaper than a hooker on high street. 1 Quote Link to comment

busa ash Posted March 6, 2022 Author Share Posted March 6, 2022 Ok few pictures fram has had gsx 1100 e foot rests modified to fit the katana fram as previous owner had removed standard footrest side frames 1 Quote Link to comment
busa ash Posted March 6, 2022 Author Share Posted March 6, 2022 Engine into frame is always a fun part of your day . Best method is engine on its side on a soft cloth chock engine on wood . Remove engine cam cover breather . Then lower frame over the engine .fit front engine mount bolt and rear engine mounting bolt . Then with the help of a friend . Lift frame with engine upright . Then the build can start . 3 Quote Link to comment

busa ash Posted March 6, 2022 Author Share Posted March 6, 2022 Took a gamble , saw a new koso unit on a build at the manchestwr show . Koso rx2n these show revs to 10k revs . Idea was i wonder if i can get that to fit into a standard katana 1100 gauge pod ? So contacted digital speedos spoke to jon and ordered the unit I will try to get a 3D printed in lay for the original gauge pod . 8 Quote Link to comment
