hey i got some updated pics of my project. its taking more time then i wanted but i should have it done by the time spring gets here.

 

not really my style, but it looks to be coming together nicely. i do like the swingarm/wheel combo tho. very clean

 

Very nice. Any more dets on the project? Where it came from? Where it is going?

i bought it as a baby blue and pink bike that wouldnt start for 800. sold all the bodywork for 500 and started making it a streetfighter. a good carb cleaning took care of the starting problem. the swingarm is from a '96 vfr. i had to machine some spacers and bushings so it would fit my smaller pivot bolt. the tail section and subframe is from a new 1000rr that took a lot of work to get on. i cut off the old subframe and welded new up right supports. i am currently trying to find some new forks so they wont be so small. im thinkin some new rr ones. after that who knows, i just wanted a bike that i would never see pull up next to me at a stoplight so i figured i'd make my own. maybe someday ill put a 180 on the front and a 280 on the rear like these http://www.fight-machines.com/ haha just kiddin, might as well ride a couch

 

HAHAHA! that quote is great. love it

 

very nice. i have a similar story. cbr f2/3 (dont ask). $1500. didnt start. carb cleaner/spark plugs. runs fine. building my own seat and seeing about making an under mount exhaust. u know of any good streetfighter forums? -mike

 

i know of a lot of good sites to see pictures of what other guys have done but most of the sites are in german or some other language i dont know how to read. here are a couple that i check out. http://www.streetfighters.nl/ http://www.streetware.at/ if you click around there long enough you can start to figure it out. heres an f3 that ive seen, looks pretty good. http://www.bikepics.com/members/junnu82/97cbr600/

 

Now if only I could find a seat cowl that fit my bike that looked that nice. The stock one seems a bit... bulkey. Well done.

 

thanks. i basicly lived at streetfighters.nl when i found it, but never seen this streetware.at place. im just lookin for some more streetfighter people to talk to so i can get some advice with some of the things im doing (relocating the coolant overflow tank, etc.). thanks for the help tho. -mike

 

You could just re-paint it like this one.
