cardboard mock-up of the electronics tray i am building to house the harness, relays and all the modules. it will be directly under the front seat and behind the battery box. i am storing the entire engine harness in here and then running new smaller harness back from the forward controls to it

cardboard mock up the tail fairing i will be making out of sheet metal


i am going for the f4i gauge swap and a 7" round headlight. bracket will be welded on the tail i cut short for strength and mounting surface for tail lamp and plate. engine and frame to be painted black. so, what do you think? any cool ideas i can run with?

this is what is was. i bought is wrecked and not running last year. got it running and fiberglassed and sanded the fairings, then rattle canned the bike that color and slapped the black sticker kit on it. fairings were still pretty rough so i decided to loose them and turn it into a fighter

Sweet fighter! Kinda funky how the muffler sticks out past the seat. Keep posting pics. Im from Arvada co an will be watching

i was thinking the same thing about the muffler, i think the kerker slip-on has a date with a chop saw here in the near future

Wrap your headers or I have Oem headers wrapped I am selling for $50. Dirt bike bars.

love the project.
keep the pictures coming... i wanna see that bike doin some 12 oclocks.

good idea on header wrap, that will look better then the flat black i was thinking about

Thats a bobber not a fighter :icon_teeth:
Get some dirt bars on there and a modern tail PLEAAAAASE :icon_doh:
I personally dont like the bobber look

Here was my 95 fighter.

Unfortunately dont have a CBR at the moment :( but as soon as i finish my FZR 1000 i will be back with a F3 & a F4I with avengance hopefully lol

maybe its more of a mix between fighter/bobber, but defiantly is gonna have the cafe racer/streetfighter influence on it. no dirt bike bars for me, dont like the stance. cool bikes. like the tail conversion! gotta go with round lights in my opinion though, just not a fan of the dirt bike head lights i guess. cool bikes though, really like your 91

engine and frame painted black, ram air box painted the color of the tank and fairings. cut the lower fairing like streetfighter88 (cool idea). exhaust is off waiting for header wrap. kerker slip on about to get chopped in half. cardboard mock up of part of the tail fairing got transfered onto masonite (next its going onto steel and then painted)
