Well, a good start would be to acquire a bike that actually has some road presence. Turning a YBR 125 into a streetfighter is akin to trying to make Jedward into cage fighters. It simply won't work to any convincing degree.

Do test, sell YBR in stock condition for top dollar, buy big old bike that you can alter to your tastes accordingly.

He's got renthal bars and a nonstock exhaust, there's nothing streetfighter about it Rolling Eyes

Also the nonstock exhaust probably sounds retarded and gives him worse MPG and performance, I very much doubt his ECU has been tuned for it or whatever

also renthal bars are wider than stock form what i've heard, so it's harder to filter, not much of a streetfighter unless you count beating up people's wingmirrors

I swear someone wrote up a massive lengthy thread covering modifying/servicing the YBR...

I'm pretty sure it'd come up if you used the search function.

However as basic google/ebay searches appear to be beyond you i dont hold out a lot of hope for you finding the search bar, let alone actually finding the thread in question.

See cause now i feel like a tard for having fitted rethal streetfighter bars on my fecking YBR. I'd bought em cause they were the closest specced ones to what i was looking for on renthals page to make the bike more comfy. I now look at my thread, and find some fucktard is telling people to buy the streetfighter bars from renthal & fit em with risers to bring the bar height back up!?

Y U NO BUY RENTHAL HIGH BARS THEN!? OR LEAVE STOCK BARS?!

Only reason i fitted em was i wanted something lower with a brace to clamp my twatnav to! Laughing

Facepalm.

I've got lower bars on my YBR, but that was to make it more comfortable for me and I can see in the mirrors better too.

The definition of street-fighter has changed so much from what I thought it to be.

This is my street-fighter bike:

It looks pretty standard.

I crashed it in to a van and then fixed it as cheaply as possible. Did I scrap/replace the fairings? Nope! I taped them back together. Did I replace the bars? Yes, with the cheapest fitting ones that I could find. The exhaust is damaged, did I replace that? Nope, it still works!

I always thought a street-fighter bike to be one that's been put back on the road for as little £ as possible. Not something that's perfectly find that you spend money on to make it look like it's been crashed.

I missed one from the checklist

Flounces when everyone lays into them for being lazy and stupid

And by that logic, my YBR was a streetfighter, it had been crashed enough times and the sidepanels, headlight and clocks were held together by ducttape

On a brighter note, got my insurance cheque through the post, £1000 for the bike Cool

My bike's a streetfighter, if I do "down right punch" it fires hayoukens Cool

Or if I crouch down and repeatedly punch it becomes electrified.

God i'm bored.

Things I hate about streetfighters

Stupid sky high tails

Stupid plastic skull masks on the front (rarely done well, have seen it done well on here though)

The desire to butcher a bike and call it a streetfighter for no good reason

Next?
