Transforming Performance: SUZUKI GSX1100S KATANA Custom

 7 min read

Webike's Opinion

Here is a "SUZUKI GSX1100S KATANA" custom by Webike community user "Iron King". The exhaust is a YOSHIMURA Machine Bent Titanium Cyclone. It has excellent performance in all rpm ranges, with particularly impressive acceleration response in the top gear. It revs up smoothly and produces a racer-like sound once it gets going. The grips have been changed to PRO GRIP Superbike Grips, which are soft and highly recommended for long-distance touring. The handlebars are also fitted with POSH Ultra Heavy Weight Bar Ends and POSH Bar End Weight Nuts. These significantly reduce unpleasant microvibrations, greatly alleviating arm fatigue. The stock air cleaner box was removed from the engine and a K&N Custom Air Filter was installed. This significantly enhances intake efficiency, and the rider will experience increased power and response. The anodized red oil filler cap is by SSK. Its beautiful color and shine adds satisfaction to the riding experience. For improved clutch control, an ADVANTAGE Clutch Release Arm is installed. Developed with the joy of motorcycle handling in mind, it reliably boosts riding performance. The rear suspension is upgraded to an OHLINS Rear Suspension Legend-Twin. The hydraulic preload adjuster and damping force adjustment can be either seamlessly adjusted or adjusted in steps, allowing for a preferred riding style. Unnecessary movement is also eliminated, making sports riding even more enjoyable. The enhancement of the custom look is also a nice feature. The steps are fitted with a UNICORN JAPAN Rigid Footpeg Kit, which greatly improves boot grip and the stability of the rider's body on corners. The high-quality finish makes it an ideal dress-up part as well. For carrying luggage, a TANAX Euro Seat Bag was selected. The bag has a large opening for easy loading and unloading, a handle on the rear for easy carrying when removed from the bike, and comes with a shoulder strap, making it convenient to carry at tourist spots.
