The torrent of incoming parts has now slowed to a dribble, a shadow of its former self, much to my dissapointment.

Lately the only input to the project, is painting the calipers, wiring the shotguns in properly. I have spent alot of time working on the mirrors, but no pics until its done. Got new seals for the rear caliper, and need to paint it still. I have just bought a screen, but no pics until its on the bike, once the whole thing is painted.

Waiting on parts to come back from powdercoaters, and zx6r shock is on the way, need the wheels blasting before they can go for powdercoat. Need to pay fallsoffslowly for a mudguard (if your reading, sorry for delay, it will be in the bank tomorrow - friday 1st june).

Need to trim the hugger, unsure about how much still :(

Mine looks exactly the same after a few years of rain and rotting in a dusty shed ..

Can you tell me how you plan to polish it up? A sort of mini howto?

Thats a nice bit of craftmanship to be fair, did you send it away or do it yourself....

what was your streetfighter before you transformed it anyway, was it a sports bike? and how long has it taken to do?

Now i see you done the swinger but not the frame i reckon those rearsets would look good black.

Nice work. I think some riff chain adjuster would fit your bike perfectly.

cheers
