First day of restoration and being the lousy bastard I am I baulked at paying $750 for a pair of mufflers. I then remembered the couple of sets of 1400 ones under the house that might fit. So with a little bit of work my newly acquired Katana will now wear GSX1400 mufflers.

Nice mate. Took it off Jeff's hands hey.

Nothing wrong with those Pete.
Looks like a rewarding project. Will watch progress with interest.
Another great day on the right side of the grass.😎

Always good to save money  :8:

But haven't you just doubled the weight of the Katana?   :stir:
If you are going to run out of fuel, do it in your garage.

It's only a short walk to the kettle.

Paint it black so it gets it's speed back
paint it blue and white and it'll be the fastest ever .

Mufflers finally fitted and the Kat is now nice and quiet ... just like my 14. So I now have the pleasure of hearing the induction roar from both the 1400 and the poor little 1100cc Kat engine as they struggle with the extra weight from those cans. :smitten:

I've also decided that because it's not a race bike and fast scares me now that primer is my colour.  :onya:

That didn't come out too bad, rest of the bike looks pretty tidy.

Looks good maybe worth a look at removing the internals  of the exhausts to lighten them up a bit .
That said it looks great .

The rear wheel won't  work like that needs to be in line with the front  :stir:

Good luck with it  :hat:
