Tony Nitrous Posted March 2 Share Posted March 2 I love the idea of a trick framed Kat, I guess with an 1135E or oilcooled lump, modern running gear, trick frame and arm etc etc, there isn’t really any Kat there, just a Kat style or Kat tribute… but either way I love the idea. 3 Quote Link to comment
spondonturbo Posted March 2 Share Posted March 2 that one above is woodys spondon Katana and is the only one I know of. There was a rumour there were 2 but never seen another. Mick has the only Spondon GIA katana as it was made before they closed the doors recently and is different to the original spondon katana. I have the drawings for the spondon katana. As far as I know there aren't any other ali framed ones. I have seen a copy done in steel and as Clive says there are now steel frames around from when Team Classic Suzuki copied my katana frame to produce race frames. 2 Quote Link to comment
