Streetfighter questions?

Post by Frontslide »

Don't particularly like the term "Streetfighter" but my vtr is of that ilk but not very nice so, the main hurdles are:-
what to do with the exposed clock's? i know the obvious answer is to make a nice case for them but i have limited facilities IE council lock up, no power, vice etc just wondering whether anyone had already done this, pics ? also what do you do with the 16 ton's of wiring forward of the headstock!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! any pic's or ideas or both most welcome.... Timbo.... anyone :confused

I know exactly how you feel. When I first went to streetfighter my storm I took the fairings off, looked at all the wires and quickly put the fairings back on. The wiring isn't as bad as you think. I've put on acewell clocks and I haven't cut any off the old wiring. It's just a case of re-routing some wires and then hiding others. A lot are hid under the tank.

Col73,

You've certainly done a very good job with the front end, the Acewell clocks look really good. The bar risers, lights and digi dash all go together really well IMHO 8) 8)
