im not sure i dig that at all. it doesnt flow well.
I don't think many 'Cane fighters flow very well.
They have large motors with a lot of stuff that's meant to be covered by plastic. Takes a lot to do it.

I actually don't think that one looks too bad....lol..
(compared to some others)
I think with the rim tape removed and the tank, fender, and tail painted gloss in the same color (maybe silver or black) it would look much better.

Wow thats some mods...crazy consider swing arm...doesn’t BMW have bike like that..

I am not looking to make a street fighter just want to have something that you cant "walk in" and buy. Nor do I want something everyone else has. It’s just a personal choice. I use to build mustangs and never felt Mr. Ford would have frowned upon what i did.

If you make a Honda noticeable and set it apart from the rest then i am sure Mr. Honda would approve.

I cant find the thread on the F4i rear someone put on their 1000f.

Anyone have the link?

I was just thinking maybe of modifying the existing plastic or maybe a rr seat from the same year?

If...and I stress the “if” you guys were to swap rears which would you think would be the logical and easier mod to make?

not knowing which models would be easiest to fit, i think the bike would look 'best' with a fatter rear end. something off a 900RR or 929RR or something of the like.

Here is the specific link to the heavily modded Hurricane.

And that naked version of Indiana's bike looks like a lawn mower. The remaining lip on the tank sucks pretty bad too. It's all about the aesthetic. Jeff Beck plays a mean guitar, but you don't want to listen. David Gilmour makes MUSIC.
