These are the pictures of my personal Katana. It has been featured in a couple magazines for which I am honored. I worked very hard on this bike and I am very happy with the results. I hope you like it too.
Below, is a more detailed description of the work done on this bike. It is not exhaustive but lists the major details of the project.
Thanks for looking!

IGNITION:
Dyna 2000 system, Dyna coils/wires - The Dyna coils are larger than the stock coils so you need to make a new mounting bracket. If you don't and you mount them with the inner mounting holes you will greatly increase your chances of grounding out the coils to frame causing cylinders to misfire.
SUSPENSION:
1992 GSXR 750 forks, 2000 CBR 954 triples, 2000 GSXF Bandit 1200 wheels, brakes, stainless steel brake lines, EBC Pro-Lite rotors, 2002 GSXR 1000 front fender, 2002 GSXF Bandit 1200 swing arm, 2005 GSXR 1000 rear caliper/hanger system. Exoticycle bolt up swing arm extensions (tacked on for added safety), Raceteck .9 front springs, built to spec Works Performance rear shocks, Pirelli Diablo tires (180/55-17, 120/60-17)
CHASSIS:
Moderately braced 1983 frame, powder coated with "MIdnight Blue", raised battery box, APE push pull throttle, Yamaha R1 right control (a narrow kill switch is needed do to limited space after push/pull throttle installation), Pazzo shorty levers, ZZR 1200 clutch perch was used to make use of the mirror mount, GSXR front brake reservoir with unknown clamp with mirror mount. ( a Bandit 1200 brake reservoir works nicely as well with its built in mirror mount)
