    There is a guy in auckland setting up a similar online shop for NZ but i dont have a link atm as im not at home. He said he could hook me up with a few cheap deals, he's doing a GS1200 so we're kinda at opposite ends of the scale.

    Im just really looking forward to getting this little beastie out on the road

    oh and another point... i've sent the pics to 5 or so girls and they are all drooling and begging to go pillion

    It's better to not pass and know that you could have than to pass and find out that you can't. Wait for the straight.

    It doesn't look like it'd need much to go streetfightered. Bars, mantis style surround (could still use your current headlights), and a belly pan. Then you're set.

    Remember the WT mantra, "Streetfighters aren't meant to look pretty, they're meant to look mean".*

    *Disclaimer: That quote may not be exact but the overall jist has been put forward by the afforementioned StyleKing on numerous different threads concerning streetfighters.

    Where are you going to get the brake disk from?

    I've got a mate that needs 2 replacement disks for the front of his ZXR but the cheapest he could find was $400 (don't know how hard he looked though).

    PM me and let me know how you get on. I would like to see yours before I make a desision on mine

    Taken the side fairings off, looks pretty damn awesome. Thanks to Bounty's generosity, I'm getting a CBR400RR can off him (thanks man ). I'll de-baffle that and spray paint it black, and of course, add a flamethrower . Gareth_d informed me about an L.E.D stockist (www.iceobarimports.co.nz), and I plan to get some lights to light up the engine, also get some El Wire and shape that into a pinstripe flame. Also, since A header set from Buckets and Bits is $150, I'll make my own at metal work! I was planning to cut it up (attached image will show where I planned to cut it), but $150 is too much for something I'm going to destroy. This will be an alternative to the flamethrower pipe, and the 4 pipes, since they will only be attached to the engine, they should shake and that would look awesome. I was also thinking of making a belly pan at metalwork, but that probebly requires more skill than I have.

    I'm looking for other ideas that won't break the bank. Any Ideas? Let me know.

    BTW, not trying to show off, or be a homie with all these modifications. All I want to do is have a go at it. I'll revert back to stock when I go out racing at manfeild this winter

I should have it out on the road for a ride by the end of February if not before.

    Pic one shows the proud owner/builder/mug and the trusty steed

    Pic two shows the how it looks from the front, the fairing piece is wonky because it was crashed before i bought it therefore the mounts are out of place slightly.

    cost so far is around the $1500 mark at the moment, goal is to be on the road with full fairings for less than $2000 but it looks like im gonna need a new rear brake disc and possible new tire on the back so it could end up reaching the $2500 mark

    Also big thanks to affman for his help with getting it running, and shandawg for all the parts hookups (you've saved me heaps) also to anyone else that has offered advice and tips, you guys rock
    Hope it is all going well and you find all the parts you need at good prices
    Those who insist on perfect safety, don't have the balls to live in the real world.
