    Nice Jim - looks better than a bought one. Just thinking maybe it needs a bit of red somewhere - since you seem to like red things at the moment, you should see the shoes he is wearing today folks!
    pretentious moi?

    Lookin fantastic old boy. You're right about the exhausts too. Purely from an aesthetic standpoint, once those headers are cleaned up (thrown out) it's going to be one wicked cool looking machine. Well done.

    Between yourself and Paul you're doing a great job of resurecting the proper KB show and tell on how things get done. I like it. Me and Sue have got a little project on the way too.........

    Yes yes, we're sure you have....but this is a family show
    Do you realise how many holes there could be if people would just take the time to take the dirt out of them?

    Damn good stuff Jim!

    Have been enjoying the read immensely. More piccies would compliment the thread though.

    Talking Yoshimura exhaust system located and Buy Now clicked.

    Flamin' 'Eck!

    Lookit this!!

    I could not be a happier bunny. nudemetalz will be growly but at this price he can just sit in the corner and be quiet!

    $250.

    Sorry about the long pause there I fell off my chair again.

    I did a search on Trademe for "Katana" in the exhaust section and it comes back with Full System for Retro 400 Katana.

    I'm gobsmacked. I nearly smiled.

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

    Ha ha "I'll be growly ??".

    Still think the Kat 250 4:1's the way to go for styling but hey, it's a full Yoshi system. I guess a new price would be "think of a high price and triple it!!"

    One wonders as to the fate of the rest of that particular Katana...

    Yes - the radiator looks particularly good. I wonder how good the screen is?

    Woohoo! BT45 Front fitted. Seriously improved directional control and way more stable when tipped over. No longer feels like I'm falling off the edge of the front tyre. Blimey this thing is stable. Didn't people in the 80s want to go around corners?

    Other breaking news: I've nearly fixed the hernia I created by trying to lift the back end of the Kat around. I can life the back end of the Z750 no worries. Don't leave home without a truss.
