im pretty sure the home made monoshock conversion using a standard swingarm will kill you well before the seat subframe collapses....

Just look at the angle of the shock. Just wrong.

Perhaps the builder previously worked at Suzuki...
.... maybe on early Hayabusa subframes? 🙄

"Suzuki Katana"!!
.... Oh no, no, no.
I, in fact We, all love the original looks, have our opinions on customised & tuned, upgraded or tweaked original styled Katanas, many of which I find particularly "droolworthy",
but this, appealing motorcycle aesthetics or not, reminds me of the US market & their abuse/misuse of the Katana title to sell so many later bikes which were not worthy of carrying the great name.
Oh Suzuki... why did you not give us a factory "KATABUSA"?
Better still.. MAKE ONE FOR US NOW!
