Not my cup of tea, but there are two of them on the interweb , both are on American websites though and seeing how the yanks ruined the great British sports car with crazy ride heights and big rubber bumpers it seems that they had a go at the Katana as well

actually, thats not bad. its just a stock kat with aftermarket bolt on fairing sides and bellypan, half an hour with the spanners removing them and its a stocker again. its not like a resin corse where theres nothing stock but the tank.

It was a Suzuki option along with grab rail etc though not many dealers offered the accessory package then as they had to buy it first to display and didn't want to lumbered .

Not my cup of tea at all. I think it takes away the unique katana style. But each to their own.

Yeah certainly looks better on the pop up, would be even better if the fit between the two had less gap.

never seen a pop-up with a full fairing before. I quite like that - was it a factory option or aftermarket?
