WOW!! Now that is sweet. How much did you drop on that paint job? I keep forgetting how nice bikes look that haven't been neglected (by former owners!!!).

 

Wish it was my paint job. One of the links above lead me to that bike...........Now that is well looked after and great graphics too. I'm trying to find inspiration for colour scheme for mine.

BTW, sorry for the thread hi-jack.

I'll start another[8D]

 

Hi,
I went to some of the sights that are linked on the postings, and I was wondering where can I purchase some type of the front fairings they show. I have an 88 hurricane 1000 that I am currently working on that I was just going to use the old fairings. But after cruising around this forum I want to do something more drastic.

 

heres some pics of my streetfighter, project is getting close to finished but still need some little things.

 

man, this looking better and better.

Question - you have the rear of the tail section positioned much higher (sharper angle) that on a stock RR. Was that intentional or did you come up against some sort of positioning/placement issues?

did you make any modification to clip the seat into the latch at bottom of tank?

I got a million other q's but can't think of them all at the moment...don't suppose you care to write up a guide?? hehe

cheers....jas

 

i wanted a fairly drastic angle so after i mounted the top of the tail section i tilted it up until i got it where i wanted it. i did make my own seat mount but its pretty close to where the stock one would be at.

 

I must give you many props for doing such extensive mods. That some serious work. Congratulations, I think it looks very cool. How much weight do you think you gave up? 40lbs? 50+ lbs?

Nice work.

 

i'll get it weighed sometime at a elevator scale but i can tell you that the unsprung weight is a lot less for sure, i think the 1000f rear wheel probably weighed about the same as the whole vfr swingarm and wheel, it was certainly built like a tank back in the day. i just finished my exhaust yesterday so i will post some pictures of that too someday.

 

where did you mount the oil cooler?
