McCullock's Vic Park - but only Marc Carter. He knows Kats very well and has built a couple of great bikes

yes, that is Marc's last Kat build. Even the paint was the genuine Suzuki spare part (last in captivity back then). All new parts. It is a sweet build.

Got the bike back and got to ride it yesterday.
Fantastic work by Marc at McCullochs.
Easy to deal with thats for sure.
When i first spoke to them after they had looked over the bike i think they were expecting me to pick the shit out of the list of repairs needed.
Just told them to do it and then added some more stuff.
Poor old girl had a few shonky repairs done prior to me getting it 10 yrs ago.
