I assume you'll be repositioning the subframe rails that are hanging down below the seat.

It's been bastardised that much already (yes, you'll never convince me that any Katana looks better in any guise other than original) you may as well fibreglass up a hugger and make up a rego plate and light bracket hanging off the repositioned subframe.

Fark, I am surprised it's actually comming together Mark! Really nicely!

You know, the last time I saw your pimply face was when you were hanging out in the AklUni Strata cafe with your BMX, begging to ride on other peoples bikes.

As for me, I am selling off my Fireblade and get something on the lines of a Dual-purpose. Always loved the looks of a naked/classic cafe racer styled bikes but have really no idea how to look after one.

I shud pop ova to your flat and say hello sometime. Chur!

LOL yeah for the katana, zxr's one is fine... but see how the katanas one has to sit in the wrong place?... zxr ones have a side spout, the rgv one i have now comes out the bottom so has to sit higher up etc...

Have recently seen people mounting the direct onto the master with the spout coming out the bottom... but would prefer it was a bit more bolted to something.
