Brian foord Posted December 20, 2018 Author Posted December 20, 2018 Made a bit more progress, wheels are painted and have new tires, engine is fully bolted in, speedo bracket made, chain jockey wheel done, body work prepped and primer. Front mudguard cut down and painted. Next on the list is the wiring loom and battery tray. 5 Quote
Brian foord Posted December 21, 2018 Author Posted December 21, 2018 (edited) Might leave it this colour it kinda suits it Edited December 21, 2018 by Brian foord 4 Quote
Spirit Posted January 15, 2019 Posted January 15, 2019 Nice bracing there. I especially like the steering head pieces. Most of the rear stuff is nice-to-have, but that stuff up front is critical. That and the pieces around the motor. Any consideration using high-strength bolts to hold the motor in? Quote
nachopa Posted January 15, 2019 Posted January 15, 2019 Incredible bike!! Waiting to see the final result Quote
Brian foord Posted January 19, 2019 Author Posted January 19, 2019 Getting very close now I am just about to fit the coils. Does anyone have any pics off Dyna coils fitted as I can’t remember what way the wires go ect it’s been so long since I stripped the bike. Quote
Ibbo Posted January 20, 2019 Posted January 20, 2019 Did you get any ideas for the jetting? Im on k&n oval filters, 125 mains, and lifted the needles a touch. Ive not done enough miles to know if im close. Quote
Brian foord Posted January 23, 2019 Author Posted January 23, 2019 No didn’t get any replies on that. How much have you lifted needles? Quote
Ibbo Posted January 28, 2019 Posted January 28, 2019 The spacer was 2.75mm, mostly. I trimmed it down to 2mm. Not yet had chance to have a spin out though. Quote
Brian foord Posted January 29, 2019 Author Posted January 29, 2019 thanks let me know how it goes. When you have tried it. Quote
Dezza Posted January 29, 2019 Posted January 29, 2019 Grumpy now sells LeDAR induction kits for OSS bikes so anyone running stock carbs with no airbox and an unrestricted pipe can easily and cost effectively get their bike running well. Just like in 1985 2 Quote
Brian foord Posted February 4, 2019 Author Posted February 4, 2019 Has anyone got pics of there Dyna coils fitted to katana? My bike has been apart so long I can’t remember how they was fitted. Thanks Quote
