I am doing the Kat Fork Conversion on my bike, and i cant help but think that there is something missing from the top of them. So whats missing? theres gotta be something... in the top of the fork tubes themselves, there is a drop i nthere and then just that dented looking washer ontop... i gotta think something goes ontop, but who knows..

The correct bar mounts ... some crappy ass clamp on's are there instead of the right ones.
Cool.

Yep, i have no idea where to get them either , ive now got 2 haha ,

Thanks
My kat forks look way different that ya'lls.I have adjusters on top of my fork caps.My factory clipons are under the top triple.I don't have my motorcycle together or I'd take a pic.
Mine are off a 1990 GSx 600
Mine er from a 95 GSX750F Katana.

Those are '88 forks. 89+ have the adjusters
thanks. If anyone knows where to get those caps let me know
Just caps wont do, yours are in with a retaining clip, those are screw on, they also have a long rod that runs down form them and moves a valve inside the leg. Yours does not have any of those. you prolly wont even know its the older style. GS is so light.
Cool.
Srinath.
Not the adjusting ones, just the little black caps to cover up the end of the fork. I figured the adjusters wouldnt work
Here is my fork caps and triple with clipon top plate.I really want regular clipons.Tese will do unless some one makes me a good deal on some 41mm clipons.

That double plate is a 750 or 1100 kat only. 600's are single plate type with a shorter riser.
Cool.

Exact dumundo.There from a 95 750Katana. :thumb:
I dont believe I like them, I should take a closer look though, the way I weld the dash lugs ... I have to drop it down to where the lock hole is, else the lock hole will be 3 inches deep and in a hole, but that may make the dash too low and it may look a bit off as well as get blocked by the handlebars.
Anyway, nice mod for a race bike for sure.
The kat 600 I modded looks like it was lterally made that way at the factory. This will be harder to do that to.
Cool.
Srinath.
Mine Fits like Factory! :thumb:
