    And then after that, maybe rejet the carbs, oh, what the hell, flashy rear shocks, just some emulators to do some positive work to the front end, opps some nice tyres made their way on there, hmm, maybe a quick stripdown and powdercoat for the frame.. And next year..

    YOU ARE DOOMED!!!

    Blimey! My long term plans have been uncovered!

    Already replaced the rear tyre with a Sport Demon.

    The shocks will be getting a rebuild soon. The front subframe will be off for a powdercoat by Christmas.

    The Frame will probably get a strip down and powder coat next Winter

    I like being doomed.

    Oh yeah.

    He has a name now. Ken the Katana. His nickname is K'erst

    If a man is alone in the woods and there isn't a woke Hollywood around to call him racist, is he still white?

    Well you have my number.
    Don't you look at my accountant.
    He's the only one I've got.

    Fork legs will be here in "2 weeks" ex-Japan. Mind you the dust seals and air filter only took 10 days.

    I do indeed have your number. I will call soon. Don't let me interrupt your project though, Mr F5Dave.

    Bore out the engine to 450, replace airbox with pods.....

    Need a new zorst and headers now. Hmm, those Yosh headers should do the job, but the cans a bit dodge. Never mind, we'll swap it out for a Termi.....

    Hmm, wouldn't a set of USD forks look nicer? Oh, look! These gsxr600 ones slot straight in.....

    DOOOOMED!

    Gezzz Jim, I thought the Katana was going to be a run about bike. By the time your finished it will be ready for a musiem. I wish I had time to do this to my RF400...mind you the Katana is more off a classic isnt it. Keep us up to date Jim.

    Fork legs have arrived. I have to ring F5Dave and get him to brutalise things in the vicinity of my steering head before I can continue.

    Waiting for Yoshimura Japan to respond to my inquiry.

    Thinks! Brian D'amarge!

    Opening PM......
