Webike's Opinion

Here is a "SUZUKI KATANA" custom by Webike community user "Kopan". The owner, a true KATANA enthusiast, switched from a GSX1100S to the new KATANA model. For the exhaust, he installed the YOSHIMURA Machine Bent Titanium Cyclone Duplex Shooter. The standout feature is the sub-silencer, known as the Duplex Shooter, which optimizes both performance and sound levels. It has been designed to deliver the perfect sound for a KATANA, allowing you to experience the deep bass tones that are characteristic of a big bike. On the handlebar, the owner installed the highly precise ZETA Pilot Brake Lever. It folds up, down, and forward, significantly reducing the risk of damage in case of a fall. The large vent hole at the lever's tip helps reduce wind pressure, even at high speeds. With 20 fine-tuned adjustment levels, the lever is thin and easy to grip, allowing for delicate fingertip control.

The rear has been streamlined with a YOSHIMURA Fender Eliminator Kit, enhancing the original short design. An added bonus is that the "SUZUKI" emblem under the tail light is fully visible. At the bottom of the bike, a Magical Racing Under Cowl has been installed. This part conceals the bulky exhaust pipes, creating a more streamlined design that gives the bike a more unified and sleek appearance. The owner also tastefully applied custom parts stickers to the under cowl, giving this KATANA a more personalized look. For the front and side cowls, refresing blue decal stickers were added, giving the bike a significant visual upgrade.

To protect the radiator, which is essential for the liquid-cooled engine, a YOSHIMURA Radiator Core Protector has also been equipped. The guard balances cooling efficiency and protection with optimal sized openings, ensuring peace of mind. The visible YOSHIMURA logo peeking through the cowl adds a sense of ownership.
