Converting an Inazuma 1200 to an Oil-cooled Katana (GSX1200S)

The positioning is pretty much decided.
We’ve kept plenty of flexibility, by the way.
We’re also thinking ahead to the possibility of swapping in a 1100 tank later if we change our minds.

Recovery might be important.

We aligned the gaps using a relaxed A+B+C strategy that won’t fail.

We’re reusing the existing brackets and inlaying them so they should be rock solid.

We mounted it in a safe position.

Honestly, I’m really glad we made that fixture jig ahead of time.
The peace of mind made all the difference.

We borrowed the upper cowl for a bit.
I’ve spent the last few days staring at the upper cowl positioning…

If you look at it too much, it gets more and more confusing, so be careful.

For now we’ve put it back on the mackerel… the color makes the mackerel look lower, doesn’t it?

For anyone in the future who wants to put Katana bodywork on an Inazuma.
It looks like the 250/400 tank and the 1100 tank differ slightly in overall length and line.

I want to make the lower mounting also go through a bracket for a solid setup. It’s a tough call.
