Ok, I found an online service manual, and I also found a frame for $100 if I go get it in person, with the title. I'm getting the address from the seller so that I can go pick it up in Hanover, PA.

I had some doubts about whether or not I wanted to restore this bike, but since parts for it can be had so cheaply due to it's relative unpopularity, I see no reason not to, even though it's a 600cc with 80 HP that, frankly, scares the **** out of me. (Bad experiences with bikes when I was younger, due mostly to stupidity.)

So, while the bike needs alot of parts, I suppose once I get started with the new frame, I'll document the restoration of the Katana on here as well.
