As some of you may be aware ever since buying my Katana I’ve had nowt but trouble.
Well I’ve now clocked up just over 500 miles since the rebuild with no problems so it’s time to re-torque the cylinder head, check the valve clearances, fit four new exhaust gaskets and fit a new Motobatt battery. So that’s it I’ve finished spending now, if owt else goes wrong I’m setting fire to the bitch. Now where did I leave that T500
The Kat is finally finished!

Wow, very nice Paul
Look, my paintwork hasn't got "Fish scales" they're "Dragon scales" right!!! However, after some thought, I will accept "Black Marlin" or "Swordfish", but definitely not "Haddock" or "Cod".
