can we get a video that shows the whole bike in all its (un)glory?!

did you drill the top triple yourself?

no plans for a video, its far too ugly !! - but we might see some footage of it up at Marulan at the end of the month......maybe.

Yes, drilled the top clamp myself - the clamps are from the original top triple-clamp from the YZ500 - it has been unused since the KTM front-end was fitted to the YZ. The bars were just a set from out of the handlebar section... - nice chrome ones, with gold end-caps.

I am sure this is no surprise - but the entire streetfighter conversion did not cost a red cent. Everything was sourced from the bowels of the 4th - one of the reasons it looks so shithouse ! *boom boom*....

It's actually really comfortable to ride, but there are issues with throttle response - you can't just 'crack' it open ,as the open intakes don't really work that well. OK once you are travelling , but rolling on the throttle needs to be done a bit....slowly, to avoid a bit of a stumble and cough. 12's really do need the ram-air intake ducts....

Dont know why your being so shy Gos. I reckon it looked like the shizzle tonight. My vote goes to keeping it like this

not a snowballs chance in hell ! - What is growing on me though......and really quickly..... - is the new handlebar position.

Its just perfect ! Feels just like an old-dunger to ride, but with 4 times the horsepower....

The checkerplate is just a huge po-po magnet.....had 3 of them give it the hairy eyeball on the way to work yesterday, its only a matter of time until I get pulled over and given the 4th degree about it....and the lack of indicators/horn/proper headlight etc etc....
