Custom street fighter (motorcycle)

[34jzgte]

Hey,
i thought i would Show some motorcycle love as i did notice some people posting their bikes on here, as i have the supra project taking priority i thought that i would finish this before i move on to the supra and as the bike i near completion i thought i would share some of the progress.

It is well far from standard and probably not everyone cup of tea, i could have gone the full german streetfighter but tails are to over the top on them, i think mine is pushing it as it is.

[Yorik]

Very nice.

[Joe]

Awesome project!

What bike is it based on?

[34jzgte]

Thats the stage i am at, should be riding it very soon, paint will be the same as the supra, i have heaps of other parts not listed on here atm.

oh and this, custom airbrushed helmet, will use it in the supra at track meets,

[34jzgte]

Awesome project!

What bike is it based on?

Original was a zx750 ninja, basically the only thing original from that bike is the fuel tank and main frame.

[thrtytwo]

fuckin choked when I seen the engine in there sideways, must have a bit of girth from the front on view!

awesome job glassing man, would be scared to attempt anything like that

also the little lobster exhaust is fucking pr0n

all round looks pretty sweet :D

[adzmerc]

killer job mate! sweet toy!

[34jzgte]

he he thanks, yeah it has been some time since this has been going, kind of left it for awhile collecting dust in the corner.

[mr_mike]

Comin along awesome man, last time I seen it was when it was 1/3 done and you were lookin to sell on pub and gumtree. I did consider contacting you about itbthen but was unable to.
I hope one day to make my own streetfighter from an old air cooler gsxr1100. One day I will. I assume your on all the auusie street fighter forums? Some of the US and German ones are so out there would be instant cop bait in Oz.

[j3rk]

So good Marco, more of an accomplishment that you took the time to do it yourself!

Some day soon your going to have the most ridiculous collection of toys out... and after all, he who dies with the most toys, wins.

[Slip_]

Fucking killer, strong fabrication steez

[vbroom]

came into this thread thinking i'd see some shit 'streetfighter' job. (crashed bike. naked. new headlight. risers)

but you have done some cool shit.

fibreglassing work is tops! well done.

[Kilma]

You don't do things by halves. Very jealous of what the end result will be.

Yeah i almost would have sold it but in the end i decided to just finish it and ride it around, yeah i am on there look in the your ride section under zx7 my first project i think, you can get away with the high tail if you have a fender there, im going to bend the number plate in the 45" area of the wheel and it will be compliant for the 45 rule, i have another fighter project quite possibly in the making.

Haha thanks man, in a few weeks ill be on the road so let me know if your keen on a ride.

Thanks, the true streetfighters are customized sports bikes and the like, the other kind would be just known as a naked bike.

Its all about the time you spend doing things like this i guess and not minding that its not on the road for some time, same as the supra i could work on that while trying to keep it drive-able but then short cuts are taken to meet deadlines.
Im trying to come up with a color scheme atm, possible blood orange with some cool graphics, or keep it anthracite color.

[34jzgte]

Doing some measurements today, im going to replace the motor with a K5-6 GSXR1000 motor, just need to find one at a good price but guaranteed the donk will be replaced.

more updates also, fiberglass is finished all parts primed and ready for painting.

Sanding.................its all in the prep work.

[180SXTCY]

sweet mother of god marco! first the supra and now this!

top work mate

[34jzgte]

haha thanks, Im trying to get this out of the way, had it for some time so this will be my only chance to finish it, also managed to hone my glassing skills i had back in the day which i will need for the supra, so while parts are rolling in for the supra i figure ill be able to finish this.

[thommo]

thats some pretty amazing work, cant wait for the finished product

[Roobiks]

Very nice nut cruncher mate. Always had a soft spot for streetfighters.

Is that a flipped cibby swingarm?

[mr_mike]

R1 swing arm isnt it?

[34jzgte]

Yeah R1 swinger, i wanted to fill in the gaps to give it a more solid look but last min decided to leave it as is.

[34jzgte]

Turned out quite well.

that is so mega fucking wicked awesome!!! that exhaust is gonna sound insane
got a paint scheme worked out yet?

Should have no trouble getting this in Rapid, if BillyWhizz could get his Gixxer that was only lightly modded streetfighter in there they should be gagging for this.

Yeah paint is sorted, just waiting for mounting brackets on the fuel tank to be made for the new dash, the mag could be a possibility, im just happy to be riding after the time it has been off the road. went for a quick one today, the riding position is so comfortable.

[34jzgte]

Its alive, had to take it easy as there where no front brakes, i was itching for a ride after seeing to many riders out and hearing them on the fwy.
"""Note, this was done on a private road ;) """
