Hey Max,
           If this helps, I've got a copy of an Email regarding pricing I got from him last year. I was enquiring about my Special, but you'd obviously need the one for your Standard.
You'd have to get in touch for current pricing as this may out of date by now.
This would be a good time cos of the strong AU dollar.
His Email addy is tkat@tkat.com

firstly thanks for the nice comments re my intro, got the bike on the road last wednesday, tacho fibrated to pieces wed arve, much thanks to geoff for doin a tune up on saturday,
Went for my first ride on sunday with a group of old guys, mainly norton's an xs 650 special, r90 bm, late model t,bird and a vulcon, bundy to gin gin, over to paridise dam, back to apple tree creek then home, 230 k's, big ride for someone who hasn't been on a bike for about 12 years, seems as tho i'v got a few bugs to sort out, the advance unit needs some attention, it's got a big flat spot around mid range, dunno what revs cos i got no tacho :-[
 Just to clarify a few things re my pipes, the headers and collector are old J and R, i fabricated the rest myself, one day i'l get someone to bend up some new headers out of stainless, i've still got some mounting issues tho, there's a harmonic fibration coming through the bike between 60 and 80 k's but thanks to geoff again after a quick stop at his place on the way home he found the problem, it's nice and quiet now with 18 steel scourer pads wrapped around the baffle, had to put them in for roadworthy purposes and to keep the local constablery of my back, how's this for harressment! had the bike registered for 3 hrs and was pulled over for a " licence check" with refference to the guy who recommended the T'KAT fork brace, i found them on the internet a while ago but can't get a response from them on how to purchase one or even how much, so i'm just going to make myself one,         Cheers, Makzy...
