Hi from Surrey

Hi All

have joined as i want to start to build a 1100 kat from a pile of parts that i have - all pretty much standard but all pretty rough

all i am missing is a frame and logbook - any suggestions where i can get one from?

again i have the usual 'standard v modified' dilemma - i have built the last couple of bikes as very non standard (a 56 matchless G9 500 twin and currently a 78 750 bonnie) but thinking this needs to be standard .......

i had a 750 Kat with the pop up headlight in 1991 / 1993 when i lived in new zealand and loved it.

Hi and welcome. As well as asking here you could try asking on the Aircooled Suzuki (ACS) Facebook page as well. Haven't seen a frame for sale in a while though, but until you ask, you never know.

If you get a frame sorted, start a thread in the Project section so we can see your progress!

Hi there welcome along , 1100 frames and hens teeth are interchangeable nowadays .
A 750 Kat frame may be obtainable and are the same except the front engine mounts , but templates are again easily obtainable.

Maybe a GSX1100 ET Frame could be acceptable but would need a bit of lug welding , depends on your tools, expertise, or associates.

will keep you informed

cheers

Do you want me to put a ask out on the ACS FB group? They do have a forum as well but they tend to be a FB bunch.
I do prefer our forum. The Project page is on this forum at viewforum.php?f=9
Actually SpondonChris has his 750/1100 thread top of the page (earlier images are missing from when the forum moved hosts unfortunately). Chris was the guy who lent the Team Classic Suzuki a 750 frame for them to copy for their Katana racer.

Welcome, and good luck with the build, hopefully when it's finished it can keep my 250 Kat company at Newlands Corner or Boxhill

Welcome here. Be prepared to stay in contact with the continentals despite brexit once you're in here.
