It's not a Kat FE, it's better :O http://gstwins.com/gsboard/index.php?topic=47191.0

I got a tail section, but the tabs aren't perfect. Nothing a few washers can't fix.
I'll try to get pictures this evening after classes.

do you have a kat front end that would bolt up buddha?

The Buddha · March 29, 2009, 06:48:19 AM

I do, just am working on the last bits.
The carriers for the guages - I dont have an eta for it, how long can you wait ?
Maybe a week. Or less. The rest of course I have.
Cool.

Prolly the longer I wait the better so take your time I'd rather get the tail section first but since i'm keeping my bike i wanna do something that will help it

May be later this week. This was a secret for my use only item ... In a way, I dont want to sell kat FE's, I only wanna sell stem machining jobs and these. The rest you can find off fleabay.
But anyway I have atleast 1 kat FE and I dont see why I cant sell it.
Cool.

Don't worry I won't tell a soul... not even myself

Still need a tail section tho if anyone has one just need tabs and no cracks I'm going to paint it anyway

The Buddha · March 30, 2009, 07:34:55 AM

I have plenty ... Short of center square bits though. Nothing for 01+, all 89-00.
Cool.

Ya know, if its production worthy, I'll make a couple. But its such a small market and its a damn complicated part. That makes it damn $$$, however the only other option (which I have implemented several dozen times) was to lop off the guage carriers off a GS triple there by destroying its vaibility, then welding it up on the katana triple (making it useless for a katana if someone wanted to reverse course) and still its not a perfect fit. Take a lot more fiddling cos the ring around the ignition lock in a katana is a lot beefier than the one in the GS triple.

For that, I would almost want to make this, however I may not have any one who wants to buy it.
Anyway, I am committed to make a few for my use. Lets see what it turns into in the next few days.

Cool.
