Yes johnr, there's def. something to be said for the old time gear... it all looks so good and purposeful. Sure it won't be as wunderbar as new gear like Ohlins shocks, USD forks etc. etc. but a Kat with properly set-up old skool gear and a semi-competent rider will give most folks a decent run for their money anyways.
So while I'd like, perhaps, to put later model running gear on my Katana and slot in a perkier donk, that means I'd have to get rid of the Micron fork brace, the Koni shocks, the rorty zorst, the cams, the noice ported head, etc. etc. And no way I'm doing that!

Update on my Katana, It took forever- work, family, other bikes I'm lazy! Tracking down parts ...... So its mostly done a serious clean up and polish didn't want to tear down and do a whole restoration remember it sat in a garage for 20 years and I wasn't looking for a showroom example . So its runs amazingly well and rides like I remember it way back in the 80's
