Hello ...

Post by mikefido » Tue Mar 20, 2012 10:51 pm

Hello!!! I'm Mike and live near Daventry, Northamptonshire.
After 30 years I've finally got hold of a 1100 Kat!!
My life is now complete ... well almost ... bit of work to do on it (1983 Italian import) but I have plans for the bike!
Who's the one to talk to about moding the swing arm - want to keep the twin shock but run some bigger rubber?
The only reason people get lost in thought is because it's unfamiliar territory!

Hi and welcome.

Have a look thro' the Technical & Project sections and also try the search facility. You should be able to find a few threads covering swingarm mods. If not then just post a question explaining what you want to do in the Technical section :D

Hi 'n' welcome.

No need to swap swingers, the stock one will take a 180 section tyre on a 5.5" rim. 17" dia that is.

Hi mike. How u doing? Welcome aboard. I'm up the road from u in pboro. I'm also the area rep. With regards to arsenal end mk1 bandit 1200 swings with lugs for shocks mounted on are cool.I'm doing that mod to one of mine now. A few years back I fitted a bandit 600 swingarm to my wifes kat. Used a Gs500 twin sprocket carrier. Cheers john
