Fine-Tuned Operation Upgrade: Suzuki KATANA Custom

Webike's Opinion

Here is a "Suzuki KATANA" custom by Webike community user "Tough". The owner, who values operability, has prioritized customizing the handle area. The handlebar is replaced with the ACTIVE Low Position Aluminum Taper Handle to achieve a low forward-leaning posture suitable for sporty riding, which is a characteristic of the Katana. It can be installed with a bolt-on, as there is no interference with the stock exterior. The fact that original wires and hoses can be used is a great feature. To eliminate vibrations during riding, ACTIVE Inner Weights are installed inside the handlebars. Usually, heavy bar ends are used for this purpose, but in this case, the bar ends are occupied with TANAX NAPOLEON Valen Mirror EX. The original mirror holes are covered with the POSH Faith Mirror Hole Caps to prevent rain and other debris from clogging. For control, both left and right sides are unified with ZETA Flight Levers. They are designed to minimize damage in case of a fall with a foldable mechanism, and only the tip of the lever breaks in case of an accident, avoiding the worst-case scenario of being "unrideable." Additionally, they are CNC machined 360 degrees for weight reduction and have vent holes to prevent lever misoperation due to wind pressure even at high speeds. For the windshield, the SUZUKI Meter Visor is chosen. The owner mentions, "Windshields of new Katana models from other manufacturers are mostly vertical and long, which doesn't suit the shorter length of the new Katana." This OEM product from the manufacturer has a gentle angle and shorter length, making it the ideal choice. The preference for "Meter Visor" over "Windshield" indicates a customization emphasizing appearance over wind protection.
