1993 Suzuki Katana 600

the first day,after being left for almost two years under a tree..

the style inspiration

tear down started and cleaning, I found leaves and insect cocoons everywhere

first thing to modify the gigantic 90s rear fender

sleek!

time to work on the engine

second gear failed (known problem for this bike)

bearings, gears, cylinder and pistones looked perfect.

fiberglass tape exhaust:it looks cool,cover rusted pipes, improved engine cooling

aluminum machined case for the custom made fuel gauge

the 3d model of the new dash

the result

installation, it fits like a glove

new head lamp!

body work starts with trimming some plastics, and completely removing others

after

engine air scoop

completely paint stripped tank, fixing small dent

primer and white on! designing the livery

masking

two colors on!

finished painting.. right before clear coat

side fairing

all the painted parts, PS this is Spray Cans paint ( less than 100$ worth of paint)

first reassembly

time to repaint the rims

fitting a modified Ducati Monster front fairing

the end
