    One project done. 1990 Katana 1100

    Well Bruce (and others), the big kat has been let out of the bag. For those who don't know this bike was Bruce Gerkens last year and suffered a few mishaps in GA. It was the first of my winter projects to get done. I guess the others can wait for next winter!!

    Lots of new parts, lots of work, This one is ready to sell $2500. Been running it the last few days, seems like a winner. 136hp top speed 160mph...come on you guys want it!!

    Anyway what do you think?

          I actually finished detailing it today, some nice hand polishing compound and a coat of real Carnuba wax. She flat out shines!
