Thanks man, bike has a long future ahead of it. Slowly hiding the wiring harness, ram air tubes, etc.

 

ya man, i tried to make my F3 a fighter, i never really could make all the wiring harness disappear and everything. Looked nothing like your bike (which is a GOOD thing for you, mine was hideous...hahaha). its lookin' good though. love the scheme. i hope you get pics when you have the wiring harness all gone, and ram air too

 

gotta drop the motor and hide the wiring under the tank. Heres mine with the 3 wires for the headlight ran to the front just to give you an idea. I put the fuse box by the over flow cap.

 

what exactly is the purpose of a "street fighter" i think they are ugly imho

 

There is no purpose per say. But maybe you shouldnt base your opinion on just what you've seen here. Typically, people (like myself) wreck their bikes and the frame and hard parts are salvagable but the fairings are beyond repair. So, instead of spending money to replace the fairings, less can be spent on a new headlight, dirtbike bars, etc. Many people are content with simply getting the bike running and not necessarily looking good, while others make their own customs. http://www.customfighters.com/

 

its a different look and better power to weight ratio those were my reasons on the f2 and i hated the way it looked stock. I've came to appreciate the the stock look now though.

 

Streetfighters have unofficially been aroudn since the Cafe Racer days of the 70s, in which extraneous parts are ditched in favor of lightness/speed. They are VERY hard to make look good, but there are some seriously bad *** ones out there. I believe there's one in the running for Ride of the Month, actually.

 

Nope. Maybe it was last month? Anyone know? It was the crazy one with all the spikes. I like that post-apocalyptic "Bloodrunners" style.

 

Its in the F2 forum

 

What did you o to get the handlebars on, or is that stock? I saw a kit somewhere but it was $600 IIRC.
