Rossco(Iceman Josros) Posted January 18 Posted January 18 My is what are the similarities/ differences between gsx1100 frames from the early 80’s specifically the ET EX EZ and Katana models ? Quote
Duckndive Posted January 18 Posted January 18 The major difference is on a Kat frame the rear frame rails kick up slightly tank mounts are in slightly different place The rest have level rear frame rails from the tank back Quote
stockcar Posted January 18 Posted January 18 Also the Katana has steel tube footrest hangers welded in place rather than the ‘bolted’ units of the more standard GSX 1 Quote
Rossco(Iceman Josros) Posted January 19 Author Posted January 19 So if we remove the Katana frame from the equation the GSX frames are the same ? @Duckndive @stockcar Quote

Duckndive Posted January 20 Posted January 20 Its very hard to find an unmolested frame these days Unless you succumb to buying an overpriced one on a Nova from D & K So a lot depends on what you want to build ? Quote
