Tamiya Katana 1100

It's all coming together rather quickly now........... I guess that's what happens when there are just a load of sub assemblies made up............Engine and airbox are in, Rear swinging arm and rear shocks are on, Braided brake lines are on, Exhaust is on ( I cut that way down to a "stump"), Cut down rear mudguard, and that itty bitty black tubing Tamiya use for wiring and cables has been fitted.

It's looking very smart Peter I really like the braided brake lines. Do they come with the kit?

Thanks Ian. The braided lines don't come with the kit. I bought them off evilbay they are quite cheap. I bought two sizes, Thin one for the brakes and a thicker one for the oil lines............. They are a bitch to fit they are a woven wire braid. so fitting them over a male stud you have to open the end a little and inevitably it just sort of frays out. In the end I used a tiny piece of black insulator off of some wire on each end where it locates over the stud. They are then fixed on with crazy glue. They are flexible but also rather stiff so they have to be bent into shape before fixing them on.

At last it's starting to look like a motorcycle............... Front Forks and Wheels, Brake Lines, Cables, Footrests and Cone Air Filter are all done.

Just the bodywork to fit and oil cooler connections to go ............ A couple of little touch ups and I'm done.
