I'm currently the owner of a half-fightered CBR600f while i repair the fairings, but i'm considering finishing it off rather than taking it back to stock.

https://a8.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-ash4/283851_2076111156125_1645368025_1950436_7516579_n.jpg

Obviously i'll change the lights and the like, but that was done for much cheapness.

Anyway, plenty streetfighters on here, stick some pictures up!

Something like Dudeskin's Hornet we saw at Anglesea?

According to his thread on HHOC its crashed. Sad times, one of the baddest sounding bikes ever. Cool

Imo a streetfighter is a bike that tried to fight the street (literally) and lost, its just come back for a some more Razz

Most of the bikes in streetfighter mag for example i would consider them customs, whilst the lad around the corner from me with an aprillia rs 125 that wouldn't look out of place in a Mad Max movie becuase he's binned it so many times and on a budget removed the fairing and stuck a car headlight to it on the other hand I would think that a streetfighter.

I'd agree with that. For some reason I sometimes like streetfighters that have taken shape from a survival/rat mentality. Where someone has bought a crashed CBR or whatever and made it functional on the cheap. Considering doing it myself, but what I want from a second bike changes every other day at the moment.

Triumph tail unit. candy red wheels, harris swing arm, very cool rearsets, carbon stubby'd can, racing engine covers (I had perspex covers on it at one point), Acewell digital speedo, ....Renthals (oh nos!)... aftermarket oil cooler, german belly pan, braided lines -> great brakes.... I forget all the stuff that was done to it...

The Harris arm is a standard that has had a top brace welded on.

The Race covers are just heavy duty covers, nothing special.

The aftermarket cooler is too small and has the wrong fittings on it. Also no heat proof covering where it passes the exhaust.

The braided brake lines are badly done as well.

not a Harris swingarm?... wrong, unless the previous owner stamped Harris on it just for kicks? But who cares?
Race covers are heavy duty covers what is your point caller?
The cooler worked without problem for years and is still working... it looks right and it works what more do you want? As for the fittings... how can they be wrong if it's working? It's a mungral/fighter...
Braided lines badly done... nope I think what you might be referring to is the clutch cable... yip that's not in a great position, but probably was like that under the orginal fairings anway...
Oh but I get it, you sell braided lines and are looking to make people think it's rocket science and they need a pro to fit braided lines.. Wink

So you don't like it or are trying to make a point which is?

It was a very old bike that was past it's best. The previous owner did the work and made a good workable machine .... I replaced worn out bits and fuct about with headlights and the exhaust for a bit, but the machine is still going strong.
