Re: Finally...
Well nice to see it back on our club forum , a lot of us followed its rebirth from a hedge dweller to this incarnation . Well done We assume you came an agreement with Pete as it was pulled from listing , Eitherway at current market prices it was very very reasonable.
Re: Finally...
Many thanks for the welcome. I have been here for ages waiting for a Kat at sensible money to pop up. Hence ‘finally’ ! I still feel I stole it from Pete at 4.4k it’s definitely way below what I thought I would have to pay to join the exclusive Kat owners. When it first appeared on your eBay link page I searched Pete out on your old forum and ACS and enjoyed reading the build story and banter. I am swapping out the Chinese rear shocks to ohlins tomorrow. I definitely want a better exhaust, I measured the headers and they are from a 750 so will post a wanted add soon. I will join as a full member tonight/tomorrow and look forward to be given the keys to the rest of the sight.

Re: Finally...

Re: Finally...
Very nice mate, I’ve been ogling that bike myself.
Welcome to the madhouse, lots of knowledgable peeps on here who have sorted all the usual problems that crop up. A warning though most of us are bonkers

Re: Finally...
Thanks again for the warm welcome chaps. I look forward to tapping into the knowledge you lot have. I will be compiling a list of questions and bits I need in the forthcoming weeks. So any help or direction will be most welcome. I want to swap the exhaust out as soon as possible so if you have anything hanging in your sheds please let me know. I am looking for a 4 into 1 if possible.
