I started a thread a couple of years ago over in pics an videos,
posting.php?mode=reply&f=22&t=1702 and I'm finally getting back around to my project. Somehow kids, jobs and houses get in the way
To recap: I've got an engine out of a 72 H2. Tore the engine down, cleaned it (no blasting though), balanced the crank, new clutch plates, new clutch actuator bindex, carbs rebuilt, engine back together. Stuffed it into a '94 katana frame. Ran/rode pretty well but I had a couple of tuning issues. Enter the new baby, the bike got parked.
Now, I am finding myself with a little more freetime. So, I did what any other bored, middle aged father wants to do: I tore some stuff up to burn off some steam!
First, I decided I didn't really like the gas tank and reach to the bars on the Katana so I grabbed an angle grinder and solved the problem

Added more seating area to the front edge of the seat (the old one tended to give you a camel-toe)
