Hi.
Thought I would start a fresh thread on my kat1000 project.
In a nutshell its a 1982 GSX1000SZ with a few tasteful mods like monoshock and fuel injection.
Once I have figured out how to post photos, I will do a proper write up with pics.
Cheers.

Re: SKELLYS KATANA INJECTION PROJECT
Essentially its a GSX1000SZ, it was never standard when I got it and I don't intend to sell it so sorry to the purists but it should make a worthy project.
So, this is where its at so far.
1989 EXUP front end, wheel, brakes, mudguard, forks, yokes, the lot.
1989 EXUP rear end, swingarm, wheel, monoshock linkage with adjustable dogbones and underslung brembo caliper.
1986 VF400 rearsets.
1100 EFE head, 1170 Wiseco kit, straight cut primaries, welded crank, EFE gearbox,
GPZ1100 throttle bodies,
GSX1400 injectors.
Lots of other bits that I will go through at some point but thats the bare bones of it.
The photo is how it looked when I stripped it down in 2007.
Cheers.

Re: SKELLYS KATANA INJECTION PROJECT
Its coming along ok after some head scratching and measuring.
The main bits to do were some new rearset brackets, if you look on the photo above, you can see the two kinda neanderthal ones that I put on years ago.
Was never real happy with them so I decided to make new ones out of some tube and some turned, c/bored and threaded bosses.
Spent quite a while getting the height, angle and spacing sorted out, they were never completly nob on but they are pretty good now.

Re: SKELLYS KATANA INJECTION PROJECT
Been modding the headstock spindle today.
The std EXUP one is too long by about 15mm so I very carefully pinched the end in the chuck and supported the other end in a live center, clocked it, then machined the correct diameters into it so that the top brg would fit on the correct part of it and then the bits for the threads ect.

Re: SKELLYS KATANA INJECTION PROJECT
Strange... as I found the foto upload thing working. Got a few in my gallery and started refilling some in my project thread. Maybe you missed the button "place inline" after upload?
