1/6 scale Suzuki Katana...FINISHED

[Wolfangel]

Here is my version of a Suzuki Katana done in a cafe racer style.  I have put a picture of what the bike was suppose to look like from the kit.  There is a bunch of work done on it.  You can read in the WIP folder to see what was done.  I made the side panels on the gas tank.....the front fender is the kit fender, but its cut down and turned around backwards......I made the front and rear signals with 1/16 Lamborghini lenses.....rear shock reservoirs were added.....REAL working chain.....scratch built gauge cluster.....scratch built headlight bracket with headlight from 1/8 scale street rod kit.....cut down the kit windshield to make it smaller.....scratch built mirrors.....the 3 black symbols on the gas tank say SUZUKI in Japanese.  I am proud of this bike and it actually won its class at its first show this past weekend in Roanoke, VA.

Very impressive work! I love the paint and all the extra detail and custom work.
I had just built the stock Katana in 1/12.

Very, very cool! Amazed at your ideas to create your own version and then the excellent completing of it.

your paint work is phenomenal. And the rest of the build is just as impressive! Nice job.
