    Cool bike. I'm not sure about the headlight unit but the owner obviously likes it.

    I'm lovin the swinger and later model forks and brakes.

    Very nice look, especially like the exhaust piping up under the seat.
    Like WT not sure bout the headlight setup?
    So would you call this a street fighter with the wide handlebar set?

    Also, it's an "S", not an "R". Unless he replaced the frame as well.

    ?

    Is it just me or is that tail section not quite square over the exhaust?
    Still pretty cool though.

    Very nice.

    Its got a cool Speed Triple vibe going on.

    The back tyre is a bit of a concern though. Is that tyre too wide, causing an inability to get the bike over enough or is it suffering from that typical Merkin problem of no winding roads around to wear out those chicken strips.

    If it were mine, I'd change out that headlight setup too. Triumph do it much nicer.

    But the rest of it is great. Especially that single sided swingarm.
    And I to my motorcycle parked like the soul of the junkyard. Restored, a bicycle fleshed with power, and tore off. Up Highway 106 continually drunk on the wind in my mouth. Wringing the handlebar for speed, wild to be wreckage forever.

    If I could rep you I could buddy (you must spread around some rep....), but instead I'll say that this is the closest to my perfect bike that has been posted on KB yet.

    Thanks for making my day.
