Always good to see a katana!
Are you going for an Original bike or are you going to do some more upgrades?

you might be right but behind the katana there is a fatboy so the sign has to stay for another while

hi zed,i got it painted in waterbase toyota silver its a 93% match for original colour with 4 coats of hard laquer,the last bike i done was powder coated i prefer the paint if its covered correctly and powder coating is a lot softer then the hard laquer

that looks good i was going to get my katana frame powdercoated but i think i'll get it painted now ,(a while off yet though as i'm putting a gsxr motor in mine with a draw through turbo at the moment)  any chance of letting me know the paint code if you've got it , thanks
