Re: Two wheels good.
Yeah but it looks 'cool'.
I'd put adult bars on it, I can't do clipons at all.

Reversed Manx Norton wheels were the thing to have.
My late and missed friend Fred had reversed Manx wheels on his Selley framed Weslake Triumph.
I'll dig out a picture when I'm not so pissed.

Re: Two wheels good.
I used to have clip-ons on my old 650 Kats, they suited the bike.
Here's A390 KKK with them on.
Also just visible underneath the speedo in the pic is an aircraft mach gauge that I found at a boot fair & bolted on for the lols

Re: Two wheels good.
I've always wanted to try the 1100 Katana but I fear I've left it too late.

I've got one, they're like a fast 2-wheeled lorry. Actually, by today's standards they're not that fast really.Warren t claim wrote: ↑Sun Apr 12, 2020 11:56 pmI've always wanted to try the 1100 Katana but I fear I've left it too late.

It's not a back roads bike, best place for it is on dual carriageways or motorways.
