I added a new picture gallery showing the steps of a petcock rebuild for a Katana. I'll be adding more information later.

Rust removal by electrolysis, new tail section.

Been a few days since the last update, but I've been adding alot of pictures along the way. Just not been commenting on them much here. I finally got the new sprockets and chain, and they are now mounted. In the down time I converted the tail on my bike to a 600 tail. I thought it would show off the new wheel a little better, and I've always like the looks of the 600 tails over the 750. You can check out the slideshow labeled tail section swap for the process. I'm currently working on cleaning out an old tank. It was very heavily rusted and varnished up, then someone looks to have used Kreame Coat on top of all that. It was very nasty and dirty. Process is going well, but still not quite finished. Alot of pictures are up now though, so check them out.

Swingarm Mod almost complete.

I am almost complete with the swingarm modification. I am waiting on paint now. Have all new spacers and brake arm. Rim has a new rotor now as well. All the bearings have been repacked with new grease.

Welcome to my new website and blog. I'll be discussing the proceses, procedures, and modifications I use to restore and modify (mod) my 1993 Katana 750. I'll be working over the next few days on getting the website updated with pictures, and some basic information about the project. I only hope others can find this of interest or help to inspire others in doing something new and unique with thier own bikes.
