See if you can guess what parts of the bike are from....

Really nice apart from the seat, and I would have powder coated the swinging arm black. But other than that 8/10 for effort! Smile

Remember kids, bikes aren't like lego. You can't easily take a part from one bike and then fit it to another.

Were the tank, belly pan and tail unit sprayed using rattle cans of a spray gun?

Its not the seat units ANGLE its the actually seat which lets the bike down, too thin, and it looks like its unfinished.

everything else is pretty cool.

I absolutely love the very idea that there's a genuine CG part on a streetfighter! Thumbs Up

I think it kinda works. Agree with a change of angle though.

I've got that headlight! It's not on anything quite as cool as this, though - it's on my 125. I have to say, though, it looks really good on your bike: it makes a great change from all the dominator-headlight-toting streetfighters out there. Kudos for being a bit different Very Happy

It's a gorgeous bike overall, though, and I have to say that the fact there's a CG125 part on there makes it a tiny bit more awesome, too, although I'm not quite sure how that works...

Very cool Very Happy

Really nice work! Front end is awesome and so is the rear.
How wide rear tyre did you fitted to this bike?
I have gsx 550 also but these bikes seem to be pretty rare nowdays. Seems like nobody mods these bikes. So really nice to see this. My gsx is pretty stock, but i have plans..
Is that fuel tank from gsx 750?
And btw what air filters are you using? I havent seen any proper filters that fits to this bikes

little bro · L Plate Warrior Joined: 21 Aug 2010 Karma :

rear tyer is a 150, had to fit a offset gear sprocket to get this wide and the chain is very close to the frame. its a gsx1100ese tank. air filter, good luck! was very lucky to find these KnN ones not made anymore and we got them second hand. new seat has now been made for it and looks really cool.

I like it, but really don't like the angled seats that seem to be all the rage on streetfighters.

Looks lovely mate, personally I would cut the link pipe so the exhaust matched the angle of the tail. I think that would look nice.....or awful!

Love the look of the bike in general but wtf is that seat unit all about? Spoils it completely Sad
