 This is my first bike, a 1989 Suzuki GSX600F (Katana). So far I haven't done much, other than tighten up some looks bolts, replace the gauge cluster, drop it and break the lens on a turn signal. I bled the front brakes this morning and braking feel is much improved. Future plans are simply to clean it up a bit and possibly new paint on the fairings and tank.

So I bought myself a birthday present That looks like just about the perfect bike to me. Congrats on getting out of the financial misery.

I just finished putting my freshly painted fairings back on my '89 GSX600F. Here's what it looked like originally:  I found a stock exhaust, painted it with some high heat flat black since it was a bit beat up and bolted it up. At the beginning of winter I tore off all of the fairings and started painting. I didn't dedicate much time to it and it shows, but it turned out as a nice 5-10 footer, which is all I was really going for. I didn't put the mirrors on because 1) it's a paint in the rear end because the nuts are broken off and 2) I have a set of bar end mirrors coming later this week. Here's what it looks like now:    Right after I took these pictures, I slipped rolling the bike back into the garage and dropped it! Lucky for me I just used cheap rattlecan paint, so 30 seconds of sanding the scuffed fairing, another 30 to paint and we're back where we started.

Welp, I seem to have melted the front lower brake side fairing (blue lower in the pictures). For now I just took the lower fairings off. Should I run like this or go naked?
