Get rid of the gages and get a viper set up. Small all the info
and only $159.

im with chemomche, too many people thing of fighters as simply a cheep way out. its not.

fighters are about taking something stock and quite frankly boring and transforming them into what you want from a bike.

good handling
awsome performance
sharp looks
ability to turn heads and scare the pension outa grannies

I've never been a streetfighter fan but to each his own. Have fun with the build, that's the best part.

Street fighter elitists

Mine looks more busted up than yours!

I believe streetfighters started with people wrecking their ss bikes. Things have changed, though. The terms "streetfighter", "rat bike", "bobber", "cafe", etc have all changed. Define your bike how you want. I call mine a fighter, but really I don't have the requisite dirt bike bars, or the big round headlights. Maybe that makes it more a cafe, because of the riding position. Maybe it's a bobber, since I've selectively taken parts off of it. Maybe I'll camo it or paint it flat black and then it will be a rat bike. No point to this post, just throwing my 2 peso's in.

I think it's pretty bad***. I enjoy what you've done to the tail section. Round headlight(s) will round off the look.

Good job.

Could just call it "my POS" , like I do mine .

Tim, can you post a link for the viper setup? Thanks

I just got the mirror I haven't gone for a ride with it yet. It doesn't look like I'm going to be seeing much though. My grips cover the bar ends so I couldn't find anything else that would fit.

Can you show a pic with more detail on the gauges and how you mounted the headlight? Bike looks really cool and I am in a similar project. All the pics help me a lot.

Cool concept

I finished painting my tank and front fender, and considered leaving the bike like that...it looks kinda cool to have a shiny tank contrasted with what can best be described as an industrial mess, not intended by the mfg to be publicly visible. I thought about going to a junk yard, picking up a busted muffler, pounding its insides out and creating a custom ram air system. Then add mesh and some scrap metal to finish it. Definitely get some WTF looks with that.

Speaking of which does it make sense to create a ram air system for the Katanas? I've figured out how to do it, but not whether it would be worthwhile performance wise.

Has anything happened with this bike?

I think he means vapor? They make digital gauges. So, do those plug right into katana electrics?

Bike looks great man!

I like the rear seat idea. I was thinking about this and now seeing I am defiantely doing this.
