ZXR h1 rat fighter - stages 2 & 3

I thought T.W.R. got some new fairings for the 750? He posted up some pics, looking very pretty, no?

As for the streetfighter -- nice work, it's one of the few streetfighters that appeals to me. Are you going to keep the front rim green?

How are you going to go about using that on the road? Over here modifications can be rather difficult to sneak past the WoF man. Is it difficult to have it certified?

over in the uk, no certification is needed at all, you can do what ever you want to a bike with no issues at all,
ill get the front rim powdercoated, just havn't got around to that yet

all in good time,
ill probly ship the bike home when im done over here,
who knows what the story is going to be when it comes time to register it,
i know a couple of engineers who could look it over and give me certification,
so i doubt ill have any real issues,
who knows,

time will tell

He did - some lightweight race style fairings. He's still keen on a set of stock fairings though, they're difficult to get holf of. When I was visiting hmmmnz over in Scotland he'd taken them off his ZXR and they were lying around unwanted, so I said I had a mate (T.W.R) who'd be keen on them. I realise it's a hassle to get them shipped though, even if he does pay for it.

well i have made some progress
first off my make shift rear set untill i buy a new set,

quallllaaaty it does the job for now,
next on my cards is the exhaust system,
since i wanted something that didnt have a little nozzle, i thought my best bet was a motocross can
so i got this fmf can off ebay

a nice titanium can,
i had to get the link pipe modified to fit the can and place it where i want, looking at it you would never know it has about 7 cuts and welds, the job is that good,... i tell ya its handy knowing a guy who has been welding stainless for nearly 50 years

and heres a side on shot,

and from behind

i will stubbie it a bit so it just comes out at the wheel

surprisingly it is a very mellow sound, i expected it to be screaming like my original ugly race can,
i still have to lift the rear as i was sliding backwards under acceleration today, that'll be my mission over the weekend, and fix the damn leak i have aquired today from the shifter oil seal, bastard thing

I wouldn't go quite that far but a pair of Bates lamps'd be nice...

But that is *the* most interesting sf project I have seen.

By way of afterthought these lamps may be obtained from:
Streetfighter Workshop @ http://www.streetworks.co.uk

Ummm that link seems kaput. Try this?

pah, how very unoriginal, every man and his dog has twin headlights,
zzzz boring, ive had twin spots on it and other bikes, while they are fine, i'd rather be a bit different,

**deanohit** · 27th October 2007, 06:29

Awesome dude, that bike is looking mean, a true blue home built street fighter worthy of bling.

How about one 6" driving light, and one projector style? asymmetrical is cool
