I got a pair of 1300 gsx R stickers off the back end. 1300 GSX is shiney silver/chrome and a red R. If you want em pm your addy and they're yours. Just sittin in a box here under my desk for 18mths

Your goal photo does look great. Looks like it suits even better than on the Gen II. Stirring thoughts in me to finally make a start on restoring my old '83 Kat !! Now all I need is the money, time, and place to do it............

It will be very interesting to see your progress.

Ok well i started the conversion today guys . pics say it all , im so happy with what i have achived . there was the odd teathing problems . pic 017 in the folder , i had to trim just a touch off the stock undertray as it was hitting the frame . my happy point here today was when i slipped the seats on to the bike and it was a perfect fit ,

enjoy the pics . ive made a ablum so all members can enjoy

That looks tops Kev. Did you change the sub-frame to the Gen II as well ? and did your Gen I seats fight straight on to the Gen II conversion ??

I like your taste in styling ! Its making me think again...... do I pull her apart again (seems like I spend more time with my bike in bits, than I do when its all in one paice ???)

Ps Do you have a shed ?

[big kev]

yeah i have a shed that is inundated with bike seats at the moment ,

This is a complete swap GEN I for GEN II subframe and all and im useing GEN II seats , im sure i can find some 1 to make them custom

if any member in sydney wishes to come and look im more than happy for them to drop over any time week day or weekend and they can have alook and sit and see ,

[Natcam]

Top job mate !!!
Keep us posted

[big kev]

Ok heres the last pic of the day guys , i have the fairings back on the bike , i have the plastics all set up . next step is some welding of a few small cracks and then its off to paint soon after ,

[Natcam]

That looks sweet mate, and didn't look too difficult ??

Do I feel a full re-paint is coming, or which half of the bike will be painted ???

[big kev]

at the moment im just getting the rear cowling matched and stickers ,
