Nick_C_Hotrods Posted February 11, 2023 Author Share Posted February 11, 2023 (edited) So now I hate it..... and wanna change the swingarm, the shocks and the front end! Here's a Pic of where it started, and a Photoshop quick mash up with my original ZX9R C model wheels forks and some virtual panels added and then the bike as is currently - finished (roughly) Is it just the white wheels offend me? I think I prefer the darker wheels contrasting subtly with the bright bodywork, not BLINGY! Then there's the ZX12 front...... I'm liking the middle one and it could be MONO'D Edited February 11, 2023 by Nick_C_Hotrods added blurb and pics Quote Link to comment
kev34 Posted February 11, 2023 Share Posted February 11, 2023 I like the big tasty carbs Quote Link to comment
Nick_C_Hotrods Posted February 12, 2023 Author Share Posted February 12, 2023 (edited) Here's the original Kevin Marsden 1000 Kat with the motor more rearward and long exhausts - Iv got this bike for a rainy day but in the racer tradition the motor is in a million bits (gsxr1100), I dropped an ET /EFE motor in it - ET bottom end/EFE top end. Thems the carbs ! Edited February 12, 2023 by Nick_C_Hotrods added content 1 Quote Link to comment
Nick_C_Hotrods Posted February 13, 2023 Author Share Posted February 13, 2023 Tonight I went down to Leighton Buzzard to collect some 6-pots for my ZX9C front end. Just need retainer bolts (fine thread) Quote Link to comment

Nick_C_Hotrods Posted February 18, 2023 Author Share Posted February 18, 2023 So today I fitted the new fairing and side panels to the Silver Kat Quote Link to comment
Nick_C_Hotrods Posted February 18, 2023 Author Share Posted February 18, 2023 And then put the fibreglass fairing on the other Kat, I found that the ES750 fairing kind of fits. I need to move the headlight forward. Quote Link to comment
Nick_C_Hotrods Posted February 18, 2023 Author Share Posted February 18, 2023 Do I fit these wheels and forks...? They are definitely longer but the rear wheel is wider so I bet won't fit 1 Quote Link to comment
Nick_C_Hotrods Posted February 18, 2023 Author Share Posted February 18, 2023 (edited) Silver Kat will have these M clocks, need to fit them to the top yoke, slight mod to the bracket Edited February 18, 2023 by Nick_C_Hotrods Typo Quote Link to comment
Nick_C_Hotrods Posted February 19, 2023 Author Share Posted February 19, 2023 So yesterday I returned HER now useless engagement ring to the jeweler where I bought it several months ago, and as I was loading the car up for a Road trip to Lancaster to buy a 600 Bandit donor, a nice swingarm came up for sale for the same money, and it was on my route, so I turned that into an arm for my Kat.
