sweet, what are you using as the base bike? what engine you going for?

My mates well into building streetfighters, he a tool maker to trade so has cnc, xyz, lathe at his disposal. he does builds and write ups for streetfighters mag. currently hes building a twin turbo gsxr 1216 streetfighter, with a 200 profile car wheel on back (single sided swingarm) had a 160 profile fireblade backwheel mounted to front, with twin disk set up. altho has ditched it for a zx6 front end.

Hes made everything, ie. levers, master cylinders, yokes, frame widedned, swingarm, all engine cases, bars with internal throttle, rear sets. complete genius

frames built from scratch, not thought about engines yet, just working on frames and ordering some parts and worrying about custom fenders and tanks etc but far too busy with work at the minute

  • 3 weeks later...

Started on a fizzy at 16 years old, and never grew out of them.

Had a lot of bikes over the years and settled (for now) with a black kawasaki 2006 636

and a zx6 trackbike and a few others lol

our son gas a little NSR and a zx6
