Handled like a bag of rusty wrenches at first, and I was thinking "WHAT HAVE I DONE, OH MY GOD" but with the standard GIXER being alot light that the EF DINOSUAR I had to carefully Set the suspension up, front end seems on rails now, My gearing is wrong though , TEA POT Katana 750s come with a 47 teeth rear sprocket, standard,, so bought my self the 42 rear sprocket, and that should bring it back up to snuff.....

ALL I CAN SAY,,,.....IS I "bloody" LOVE IT
and OK I may be over indulging my self Posting pics of my bike every freaking Day, BUT I am in LOVE
YOU BASTARDS

I recognize that shield, it's a National Cycle f-18 right? What do you think of it? It's one of the ones that I'm looking at picking up for my bike and I'd like to know how well it works. Thanks ;)

I love it. It looks cool. My bike may be heading in that direction (round headlight, and a small wind protector) I've seen some guys do a double headlight like a Triumph on my model bike - looks cool too. I'm also considering debadging my bike and painting it solid red with not factory stripes. But I digress..

Cool, I say do it...the trouble with our big bikes, is finding usd forks long enough, though those bikes have enormous brakes front the factory so you dont probabaly have to worry about that

Just curious but is that a katana 750? What year?

Me like.

What parts aren't stock on it and has it gone naked, or was this model made without body panels and fairing?
