Suzuki Katana by Steve Adams

Steve says, I think it's fair to say that a lot of me went into it. The whole build took approximately 18 months however this could have been cut down a fair bit if I had had a thicker cheque book. This started out as just a quick rework of a basket case Katana 750 and quickly got out of hand. As for what has been done I think it would be easier to list the parts that haven't been reworked, however here's a spec sheet. There's numerous other bits and pieces that I have not listed and are forgotten due to the sleep depravation this build inflicted.
