        Awesome build

        Love the build... I was going to do something similar about my tensioners, the left one bent 3 times just from puillin hard(think it was weak when I got the bike)... I ended up getting a bandit setup but you could easily make your flush style with what you have... grind the stud off the piece that goes in the swing arm and weld a nut inside then use a bolt on the outside. Its the same process as modding a bandit tensioner and didn't like the look of the stud sticking out there.

          Not much new, just an updated photo with header wrap in it. Also mirrors.








          So the season has come to an end, which means that my temporary set up can be taken off and redone the way I want.






          So I started on a new seat from scratch using an old sign I had laying around. I thought that the outline looked like balls so I drew some hairs.






          Here is it just kinda mocked. Still have to finish cutting out the old subframe and then go buy the steel for a new one.

              I've been thinking of switching it to black drag bars, with next to no rise on the mounts. Whatcha think?

                I like the paint scheme on the wheels, rotors and sprocket. Not too big a fan of the rest of the style though. I always thought people made street fighters when they totaled their body work....I bet someone out there would love to have your used plastic

                  Most people do. I just like fighters.

                  I'll be putting up my old stuff I don't need on ebay.
                  Parts I can think of are two right fairings, one left, both rear fairings, rear seat,grab bar, rear pegs, OEM solo cowl with pad, modified stock seat, battery box, all 4 blinkers, head light and brackets, tinted windshield (maybe called smoked? was on it when I bought it) two mufflers (one dented) tiny bit of rash, front brake lines, front fender, tail light, flush mount blinkers, gauges,luggage bars, gauge cluster(cracked), stock airbox and boots with filter that has 2k on it and anything else I forgot that didn't use. Also have a 2 sets mirrors, 1 set off a gsxr I believe, mounted and taken off, one set with built in blinkers (never mounted in packaging)
                  Maybe soon my clip ons and possibly controls. They are all in pretty good condition, bike has about 10k on it, most parts were taken off around 8-9k

                    Think the no rise drag bars will look sick!

                        It's hard for someone to find something that everyone can agree on nowadays, but the quality of your work is impressive. I like the colors and how you basically have a bike like no other. very unique keep up the good work.

                            Been super sick, not making alot of progress.


                            Finished cutting out the sub frame. I'm thinking about making it bolt on instead of weld on for when I want to change it again next year.(lol)




                            I also got the drag bars mocked up. Not sure how I feel about them. I might go back to clip ons, and just save these for my bobber.





                            I also think I am going to reuse the stock belly pan, but modified.

                              This is the tail light/blinkers I will be using.










                              Few pictures of me playing with the set up. Got the beginning bits of the new subframe together.
