Love the look of the white bike - but the front end seems unfinished - probably due to no headlight at all, but I'm sure you have a projector beam laying around for that, right?

to me, a streetfighter is all about stance - you get that right, and you're golden. Hell - even harleys look cool if you do em right: (I've been looking at this pic for 2 weeks on my desktop, and just now realized how much difference the blackout section on the front fender makes - I simply didn't see it before.)

thx junky

as for the white one that ALOT like what mine should look like once its wrapped up

but im getting me a bi-xenon hid projector (build in hi and low beam) and making a housing for it, to use for my headlight

should be sick once its done, esp. once winter swings in and i can put on my custom 08 1krr tail

z - trust me bud, its an addiction once you start. are you going to do any sort of fly screen? or are you just going with the lil lights and a bracket for them?

o - and i know you were talking about putting the guages in the tank - i have mine on my triple right now, and even though they are at the perfect angle - its amazing how much i have to look down (taking eyes off the road) to look at them.

negative on the fly screen bro, just naked up front lol...

as for the LIGHT not lights lol (its hi/low combined in one housing) yea itll just be a bracket that comes off with the headlight attached, im going to try to do it as clean and with as little of a bracket as possible to try and hide it

tell ya what i actually am veering away from this now a buddy was going to hook me up with a stunt tank but they wanted 65 for shipping so i said forget that

i have decided that im going to make a bracket that will bolt under the but that holds on the top triple, and go a little towards the tank, i think thatll be cool bc itll swivel opposite the direction im turning, so i wont run the risk of bumping it with my arms or anything

but yea im excited/ a little nervous to start lol...

cleaning up the front end i think will be the biggest challenge, i wanna hid all the lines and everything best i can, i really like that RAW sportbike look up front

are you eventually planning on tracking it? if so - badass man

lol yea i can see it being a challange, after all the wiring ive done up front so far, i know there is a stupid amount of wiring up front lol...

where did you hid more of the wiring just behind the frame?

i realize relocating the ignition, as well as the cluster moves quite a bit around

ya, i ditched the PAIR, and it opened up a hell of a lot of room for all the wiring. plus, i moved a few things like the ignition and i put the BAS in the tail.
