This one popped up in my CL search.
I've seen it I person I bought a frame from the owner needs some TLC but as I remember the owner was kinda into the whole streetfighter thing
What Y'all think.

Sadly I prefer the average katana,something not quite right for me,obviously a lot of skill gone into this build,and I love the restomod of an old skool Suzuki
Guessing rc8 front and rear end,big pat on the back for being original,thanks for posting bud

To me it looks a bit disjointed. There are better bikes within the U.K. Club.

I like that bike short of the position of that front cowling.

I have to agree it just doesn't do it for me and like I said I saw this Iin person a while ago I don't believe the present owner is the builder
Wouldn't have gone the street fighter route but to each there own
The owner was younger and also had a TDR 350 that he ripped around on too cool dude.

It's the high bars that don't do it for me but that's the streetfighter look
There's better resto mods out there one being mark M.16 his 750 resto is one of the best I've seen
Bearing in mind that Katanas aren't as popular here in the states as the UK or Europe which is why I brought my 81 1000 homolgation with me ,
That being said for a stateside resto this one ain't bad
