First design drawing of Mr.7/11's Kat

Here is the first visualisation of Mr.7/11's wet dream.
At first I was thinking about fitting a single-sided swingarm and USD frontfork, but as I've allready got a sporstbike in the form of my SevenEleven I wanted to create something completely different, plus I want my wife wants to be able to ride it so the ride height can't be too big.
As a result I came up with the following design criteria...

- Low seat height which lead me to creating a road-legal dragbike, I allways liked the looks of a lowered and stretched GSX.

- ...which results in an extended swingarm

- Widest rear tyre possible without having to widen the frame at the swingarm pivot point.

- Dragbike-style exhaust to maintain some ground clearance after lowering and stretching the bike.

- I still have parts of a TMC nitrous system laying around which I wanted to fit on my 7/11 but up untill now I never found a place to mount the bottle as I don't have a proper subframe on that and because of it's very short wheelbase it isn't a very good idea anyway.
So the nitrous kit is going on the Kat. (must not forget to tell my wife that the horn button has another function ;-)

- The paint design is copied from Russel's old Kat... it's awesome.

- I'm going to use a GSX1100 rearlight-unit and won't use the small windscreen to keep the bike looking mean and low.

...so now the search for parts begins...
