new thread as I feel like the motorcycle is in its last overhaul. I bought this motorcycle with full fairings in tact for around 1400 hundred I believe and then within the first week I had her stripped down looking like shit when it was naked. This was my second streetfighter and by far the biggest project of the two that I have done. My plans were to make a high bulky tank and a solo small seat. Then the speed of having it done by the build off was a lot of pressure and I made a lot of mistakes, cut a lot of corners, and just got it done. So I have been slowly taking all of the cut corners and fixing them up to be more of a stable every day ride. Especially since it was no where near being able to pass state inspection. So the project continues with trying to give it the look I want while trying to make it inspectable.
enough chatter so hear are some pictures of what I started with.

I drove it around and it was extremely uncomfortable and wasn't happy with the look and feel of it so I decided to use this tank I had as an extra and start over with a completly new look and subframe. I wanted the tank to be higher and since I am 6foot3 I wanted it to be a taller bike with very few wires and no battery showing.
added this spare r6 tank

Then I decided to make this subframe and grabbed a brake assembly from my gs550 I have laying around

then I made up some side panels out of a plastic bin, relocated the battery to the front of the gas tank, rewired the entire bike to hide the wires, added a license plate light, made a panel to cover the top of the frame out of the same plastic box/bin that I make the side panels with, added a led integrated tail light from an rc51, added led turn signals, made a stable headlight clamp, put on a sigma bike speedometer, trimmed the seat mold and recarpet it, made a metal rear tire hugger and bolted her on. Know she looks like this.
Also got a new ceramic header and cut up my old exhaust as that was the last rusty bit on the bike

for the final frontier I am going to clean everything up, probably make a new rear seat,
I have just ordered a 190 rear tire, tire levers and protectors so I can change my own tires, clipons from an r1 to use as I really dont like the high bars on this project, Alot of finish work and odds and ends like saving up for a speedometer.
