Pedda's former B12 Katana

As we now have a shrine for it:

Here's my old B12 engined Kat. I modified it back in 92 or 93 and rode it 'till 2012. Starting as aircooled I implanted the oilcooled engine 2004-ish when my faithful EFE engine I had at that time started eating oil and I had to decide which route to follow.
During the following years I interchanged engines every now and then - depending on what purpose I took the bike for. For classix endurance racing it had to be aircooled, so I got me another EFE engine for that.

At the end of 2012 I took this bike to pieces and started something new.

Yes, I had that race accident with it, rebuilt it in new colours - which was Katana silver. But the bike is history now. I took it to pieces last autumn, sold the running gear.
The plan: build a racer with a running gear suitable for the local vintage classes, which means stereo shocks, 18" rims, right side up forks and things. Engine will be aircooled, obviously.
