psb Posted October 19, 2017 Posted October 19, 2017 Hi all, I used to be on the old OSS until 2012 when I sold my last project bike. Been wondering recently what happened to it - has anyone seen it around? Looking at the MOT history online, looks like it's stayed somewhere in the Cirencester/Malmesbury area. Here's some pics and what specs I can remember, it's reasonably distinctive with the white striped paintwork so maybe someone's seen it... 1982 Katana 750, registration ***410X, braced, tidied and powdercoated frame, USD forks (TL1000 I think), Bandit wheels and swingarm too I think (converted to dual shock). Ohlins, one-off seat, black paintwork with white three-stripe, modern switchgear (SV650/TL/Bandit mixture I think). Modern rearsets/pegs too with frame bracketing welded to suit. Looking the bike up now online, DVLA say it's silver although I'm 80% sure that I informed them of the change to black - could someone be restoring it to semi-stock? Enjoy the pics anyway! I tried to see if my old email addresses might let me log in but guess the old accounts don't work... 3 Quote
Swiss Toni Posted October 19, 2017 Posted October 19, 2017 That's tidy! What's the plan if you find it. Try to buy it back, or just curiosity? Quote
Jelly Posted October 19, 2017 Posted October 19, 2017 Welcome! No, old accounts don't work anymore as the software has been renewed and we didn't have appropriate access to the old database for info copying Nice looking Kat 1 Quote

Swiss Toni Posted October 19, 2017 Posted October 19, 2017 Might be an idea to post on the Katana Owners forum too! Widen the search a bit? 1 Quote
