So all in all, they were going to build an endurance Katana from parts available to show how extensive their vintage parts system is.
What they actually built was a designed in the pub built in a shed bitsa. Proving there are no parts available!

Must agree much nicer ones in the club.

I quite like it although I was expecting it to look a bit more like the sanctuary bike. Not a lot of standard stuff on it but at least it is using an aircooled katana motor instead of a bandit motor! So they are at least going in the right direction :D

Still missing the hose from the oil gallery up to those you mentioned to have a top oiler kit working.

exactly.... what they have done serves no purpose whatsoever other than adding "bolt on tat" to make it look more than it is...
