Accessories for the Suzuki GSX1100S Katana

The Suzuki GSX1100S Katana is a classic sports bike made for road riding. When you take a bike like this out for a weekend ride, the feel of the brakes and the way it responds through a series of bends matter more than fitting accessories for everyday carrying. That makes braking and suspension natural areas to focus on when deciding what to fit. Both affect sensations you notice from the saddle, although they do different jobs on the road.

What riders usually fit to the Suzuki GSX1100S Katana

• Brakes: approaching a bend, a brake response you can judge and control helps you settle into the ride. Brake parts for the Katana are worth considering when you are giving the bike some attention or concentrating on how the lever feels on your favourite roads. It is particularly relevant if your rides involve repeated changes of pace rather than long, uninterrupted stretches.
• Suspension: the way the bike behaves between bends shapes the whole experience of a country-road ride. Suspension is an area to consider if you want the Katana's response to feel more in tune with the roads you actually use. On a classic sports bike, the transition from one turn to the next can be just as noticeable to the rider as the approach to a corner.

Here you can find brake and suspension accessories listed for the Suzuki GSX1100S Katana, with names such as Braking and Öhlins among the accessory brands for this model. The two categories address different parts of the same ride: slowing down before a turn and how the bike feels as you travel through it. Thinking about which of those matters most on your usual routes gives you a useful starting point.
