Ive been rideing now for about a year and half started out on a 1978 HONDA....500CC it was a nice bike to start out with i sold it to a guy at work about 4 mounths ago ive got a 1991 GSX 750CC Katana ive only road it one time because of the dang snow :( everday i go and start it up the wife and i cant what to ride it..... i would like to convert the seat to oneman when the wife isnt on it anyone have any clue on what i can do? or is there any seat mods out there (6)<<<<<<

P.S. here is a pic of my bike http://www.bikepics.com/pictures/140213/

I usually dry-heave when I see a katana....but that one doesn't look too bad. What's more important is that YOU like it. It looks like your seat is one piece, rather than two like most late model sport bikes. The two piece seats you just get a rear cowl that snaps on instead of the passenger seat....so I don't know whether or not you could find something like that for an older Katana. Oh and dont ever drop that thing buddy, it looks like it has a one piece fairing! gl

I saw a suped up katana that had a cover in the rear, did not look so good though

I being an ex-katana owner believe that Targa makes a solo cover for that model year. Just check around some parts sites or ever www.katanaplanet.com im sure you will find it.

check out www.hotbodiesracing.com thay may make what you are looking for.

i think this is a katana, look its got a solo seat yo!

here ya go http://www.braada.com/order3.htm

Man!! thanks a bunch guys' you've been a great help (6)<<<<<<

I hope this isnt another road block but the makers of the hand made cowls' said they only make cowls for the GSX 750F'S mine is just a GXS750. i wonder if it will still fit same your and all from 88-till what ever, mine is a 1991 youve seen my bike....here is a pic of a 1991GSX750 F http://www.bikepics.com/pictures/112345/ I realy dont see any diference do you? :confused:

i remeber reading a magazine article when they first started making the Katana... they labeled it as the Kawasaki Ninja Sister bike....

wow.. what were they thinking.. dont get me wrong.. they are great bikes and they get the job done.. but even the new ones.. all the ppl i know that buy them, always seem to want more agressive bike the following riding season..

seems the new katana took the path of the old FZR 600...
the affordability issue and all.. ppl that want a new bike and can get a new katana 600 out the door for under 6k....

IXI

i'm sure i will also, But i'm just taking my time and stepping up a year at a time x200to 300cc's still would like to know if this cowl is going to fit my bike befor i go out and buy it http://braada.com/order3.htm

If you are planning to step up to a new bike in a year or so, save your money to customize the bike you want. I have a 03 YZF 600R I dumped about $1500 in to then I bought my R1, I wish I would have saved that money for the R1. Anyway that is just a thought enjoy your bike.

I use to spank all Katanas on my FZR 600 [except the 1100]. Not worth putting the money into. If you get a chance compare the rear axle to a GSXR rear axle. Suzuki put all the cheap parts on the Katana to make it affordable. Get the yzf 600r or if you want a more sport touring bike get the zx6 [with the dual pipes, looks like a small zx11].

I always crack up when people dog the Katana. It's even more funny when I see good riders on their Kats destroy squids in the twisties on their latest and greatest supersport.

Owning a state of the art bike doesn't automatically make one fast.

Problem is they'll always look like a teapot. I just can't see past that.

Owning a state of the art bike doesn't automatically make one fast. You are right about that. I did the same with my FZR [not the latest and greatest supersport].
