That is staggering ... allot of pics too!! ..worth sitting through the full slide show :-)
The result is so radical and well finished off ..
Not my cup of tea , but , yup , ui gotta respect the shear amount of work and skill it took to get her to that stage ..
nice find Martin..

Fantastic Fabricator
I like to see a good knowledgable craftsman. Suzuki built that bike in the B-King, but his work is more stylisticly unique. Add a little dirt bike theme in the hand grip area and different exhaust (which most change the B-Kings also). I actually liked his bike. I don't like the fact that he took one of the "old gals" and chopped her heart out, but he had to choose a starter and the CBR1000F is a good bike to start with.... Poor Old Gal..... "The Force" will miss her soul....
The Nevada Highway patrol has recently been giving tickets for "rear fender removal kits" (chopping the rear mud gaurd off). They also shine a flashlight down your tailpipe to see if they can see your baffles (poor Harley boys). No baffles, no mud gaurd = ticket. He would be stopped here. I would front his defense money!!!
PS. Steve the commercial in this one is great and it is for you on this video B-King vs V-Max, watch the commercial - fantastic girlfriend!!! The video is about Street Fighter style riding, basically since their comments are "fighter stunt" oriented!!! No ABS? Street Fighter mentality.... http://www.metacafe.com/watch/269983...009_star_vmax/
and B-King by itself http://www.metacafe.com/watch/142722...rcycle_review/ Well, maybe not "one of a kind" after some fabrication....

Naga Thai mate That ain't no street fighter , some battered old piece of **** with the plastics stripped off , thats a street fighter .
This is a piece of engineering art . As everyone else seems to have said 'not my cup of tea' either , but HELL , I'd love to hear what those pipes sound like
I'd like to think this is one man's work , done in his own time , a labour of love

Labor of love
Yup Hawk you are right. I love to start a project and then see its finish. As I always say, "The details of the job make the job a success!" That is one successful bike build. In fact, I am now going to the Suzuki dealer to look at the B-King as a possible addition to my stables. Heck, if I can't own the original, at least I can dream about it while on a OEM production type.
As Mic would sing, "You can't always get what you want, but..." http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c0RZS...eature=related This has a jazz twist to it Hawk, just for you.

Yeah nice vid Nevada , back in the day when the stones were a rock band , before they sold out to 'The Rolling Stones PLC'.
But heck , so as not to totally jack the thread (I could argue about the stones for hours , love the earlier stuff , but post seventies , forget it). If I had 2 hurricanes and one was a bit busted up , I think I could let this guy tinker with the busted up one
