Looking good, but I would have considered taking the swingarm off, how are the bearings?

Not what you'll be wanting, but since I work in a forklift repair shop, I use our giant parts washer..! 😁😎 lol Who knows what's in the fluid, but it's at least part Paraffin...

Nah, wheel bearings are easy to do... IF you get them early! lol

Aaah, no, it was simply the stress I was putting on the chains through acceleration that was stretching them. The heavier chain solved that problem. I try to keep it in the speed limits, so I get my jollies from acceleration and cornering... lol

WTF did he call it? A 'Thunder four'??? I can't remember exactly offhand, but I've got in excess of 60k on mine, 3/4 of that I've put on it. I'm not terribly good with upkeep either, but mines still going strong (although it looks like I need a new radiator :( ). I would suggest looking into getting a heavier drive chain on it though. I went through 3 or 4 stretched chains in my first two years with it before getting an uprated chain-set. I've not had to replace my chain since (another 3 years...)

Sheds aren't secure, and around where I live, you need secure! Particularly if you advertise what you have with loud pipes and an open driveway... lol

What do you mean "get out of a Thunderace?"? Speed? Acceleration? Reliability? Money?

Still nice... I was given a go on one of the 1100s back in the day, it's the only bike that's scared the crap out of me (amongst others, I currently own a first gen Hayabusa!). It was an absolute beast back then! And looked SO cool...

Living in a corner house with no real 'back garden', what I really need is a much bigger garage..!

Both good looking bikes! I'm not keen on the yellow wheels, but I can't decide what colour I'd paint them. lol

There's a lot of nice bikes there, but my eyes are drawn to that Katana! Is it the 1100 version?
