Re: AF Suzuki Katana Multiple WIP Thread
Yes I did, but not much to share yet...
I put some engine parts together... ...and drilled holes where frame and engine will join together. I plan to build a new complete frame, but this may be a bit too much ambitious for my first bike... Still not completely sure of what this bike will become BTW... Well, rules say "Katana group build" but also say "no rules" so this surely doesn't mean one have to absolutely build a Katana, but something starting from Katana kit...!! So let see where inspiration send me to |

Re: AF Suzuki Katana Multiple WIP Thread
Not much progress, but hereŽs the new one piece seat primed (needs some minor filled up)
There will be a minimalist mudguard at the end, supporting turn ligths (from NR 750) and rear plńate, not designed yet. |

Re: AF Suzuki Katana Multiple WIP Thread
Hey Docqui,
Made it to Cordoba, but we only had a few hours there, so sorry we couldn't hook up! Really nice place, but the torture museum nearly made me vomit! Hoping to get back on the Katana project soon! |

Re: AF Suzuki Katana Multiple WIP Thread
Hey Docq, great job, those is less or more the set up that anyone of us wish...
@Cinq: I try ever to avoid those experiences, despite I'm not a kid... looks strange to see what the human was able to think and do to other brothers, looks comic (ok crazy..) to see that often was the church to do it Looks like we're quite lucky living in this time uh? Most of us haven't quite easy lifes, but at last if we have a bit of spare time for the stuff we likes.... by our perspective the life don't look so bad I want write "I want to see more" but since I just do a dry fit test.... I can't BTW: one thing, may be I asked yet, anyone tried to seam Hiroboy's soft steel pipes? My idea was to build the 4>1 exaust with burned (really burned, not painted) pipes.... some experience? I seen that they aren't so soft like it is supposed, but I think the job may be done...

Re: AF Suzuki Katana Multiple WIP Thread
So true Gio! I only went in because there was some armour near the entrance (I assumed it was a weapons collection?!) Being a metal conservator I have to check these things out! It amazes me just how inventive the human mind can be when it comes to being horrible to each other. So glad we live in modern times too and yes the church has a lot to answer for, but I'm not going down that route on here! LOL! ;-)

Re: AF Suzuki Katana Multiple WIP Thread
A simple jig to make NR rims to wired wheels (I hope not to be mistaked in holes account)
More progress soon (I hope) |

Re: AF Suzuki Katana Multiple WIP Thread
What paint did you use for the frame? Looks very realistic, like metal!

Re: AF Suzuki Katana Multiple WIP Thread
Naturk, donŽt worry about it for being stock, IŽŽl do the 750 stock too, but the 1.1K has my attention now, too much work.
I used the jig with very tiny brass pics And wheels took shape Rear wheel primed NR discs before and after chopping treatment The one piece and widened cowl-tank primed, my intention was to use a double squared headligth, but the vacform proccess is still unsuccesful Front fork and mudguard fit (you canŽt recognize NR mudguard after chopping it) And what you wanted, the kat shape (more or less) with these changes....... Exhausts wont be so thick really...Ž The first time IŽll not paint anything till the whole work will be finished and primed. Hope you like it, and need ideas for the headlights and windshield. Rate this WIP if you like it |
