Has anybody change the look of any kind of hurricane? Post some pics please, and a comment...thanks!

 

Yeah on the 87' 1000 I'm trying to sell has 93 900RR body work with the exception of the lower cowling mounted and a homemade undertail. Looks okay and if I had some pics up I would post them.

Cool!.. post them if you can!

 

I made conversion to my 1000F with upper cowl + headlight from 1100XX.

I cropped the image and played with the light on your picture - bike looks great ! Can you give us some close-ups and tell us how it was done, and any difficulties ?

 

Kaasari, that's not bad looking at all! Darn good, if you're not a purist I guess.

 

There is a earlier post where Kaasari shows how he repairs/rebuilds the bike after crash.

Thanks Blue1000F - what a brilliant job - shows what you can do with determination and perseverance.Someone should show the Honda designers what they missed .

 

Thanks for comments and BLUE1000F for posting a link to that thread!

Shadow1, you can find rebuilding info from that thread, but just inform if you want more details or more photos.

 

If I could find another CBR1000F in fair condition, I'd like to have a go - thanks Kaasari for the offer - I went back and read through your report: truly, an outstanding effort....thanks Blue1000F for info... I'd like to rebuild the front end BUT I'd also remould the tail section, to make it more streamlined - perhaps use a FireBlade or (horrors)! a 996 Ducati tailpiece, and make it a single-seater......uprate the brakes for sure....perhaps an 1150 Wiseco big bore kit.....any other suggestions, now that we seem to have hijacked the original thread ?(sorry kikepiz) A friend of mine rebuilt a CBX magnum with Ducati nose and tail sections, widened swingarm and uprated motor, and it's quicker than my CBR....and gorgeous......but whatever I attempt it won't come anywhere close to what Kaasari did with a wrecked bike and no parts.......and a 3 piece collarbone...!
