Somewhere on my random internet travels I've seen a retro round headlight conversion kit for the current pussy eyes set-up.

Your pipe must be a rowdy bugger I ran twin Yoshis with modified db killers and that was vocal (and I'd done a repack last year).

IMO ignore the black engine suggestion - the titanium engines look much better - the last (07) Hornets had a full black engine and to me looked bland and a bit tryhard.

The swing arm was a long job with all the shimming but once done it handles alot better now,
Yes I'll keep the motor as is looking in to turbo at the min and a upside down front end

Looks pretty good fella,rear ends nice...did you do it yourself? At one stage was going to do similar on my old Suzuki but got lazy and gave it away.Personally dont like the headlights but hey as you say each to there own,theres some pretty sweet aftermarket can options out there that would really set that rear end off imho.Good work and nice to see...these days "modding" a motorcycle seems to mean to many buy a new helmet.

You may be well on the way to being - laughed - "out of this forum as well" - for being so.. well, oversensitive..

&, anyhow.. what is it with you & the faux Speed Triple fetish?

There was a chap on the US 919 forum I used to play on that added a turbo - had issues and melted a few sets of pistons. Reckon he had it wound up way to high in the boost department originally.

Front swap has been popular - SP2 forks were the biz but if you have the wares to make or $ to pay for custom triples you can fit anything. Only issue with the Hornet is the stock forks are fairly long compared to USD sports sets, you rear appears a bit raised already (thus tightening up the fronts angle) so keep an eye on this. If you don;t care about it being a Honda front I had been considering a Bussa front end ex USA as the length was pretty good.

Looking at my Ducati I suspect the forks on it would be suitable as well for length.

Fair enough,i took the easy way out as it was....easy

and just needed shims for bottom clamps and spacers for calipers,from memory slighty longer bolts for radial calipers as GSXR discs were slightly smaller.Post up pics when you get to doing it.Good work.
