Showed this to a co-worker who rides a 1100 Kat... he said, 'now why did he have to go and ruin it with the Steelers logo.'
I tend to agree - not a big fan of showing sports team spirit on vehicles like that.   Nice looking bike otherwise.

When the guy brought it to me to be worked on, he ask if I was offended by the Steelers logo...

i'm sorry, but call me a purist.
that aint a katana in my eyes.
needs to be an old 750,1000 or 1100 twin shock to be a proper katana.
the pop up headlight ones just scrape in cause of the aircooled motor.
the gsxf  oil boilers are good bikes tho

 My brother had a 750 Kat for awhile,good bike. Steeler fans are everywhere,not just here in Pa. Down the street from my son's house,there is a terrible truck,black on yellow. And I think its the guys 2nd truck painted up that way. Here we go Steelers here we go!
