Hi @ all

At first I would like to tell you something about me. My Name is Martin, IÂ´m 32 years old and I come from Germany. IÂ´m living near Goslar (Harz) and my hobbies are motorbike riding and customizing!

The last modifications:

- R1 fork and brakes with original frontwheel and brakedisks
- Engine powered by Christian Mende with 135 horsepower
- 2-1 60 mm underseat exhaust system handmade on my own with Arrow Pipe
- single sided swingarm from VFR 800
- SP-1 rearend
- CBR 1000 RR Numberplate

Here are some pics

best regards

Martin

Hi Martin

Nice storm

A few of us rode over to the harz last year and are planning another trip this year. We stayed in Bad Lauterberg (not sure if that's near Goslar but I remember seing signs for Goslar at one point!)

Take it easy dude

Welcome mate,

That is a very nice looking bike. How long did it take you to put it all together?

Hi @ all

Thanks!

I know Bad Lauterberg. It is 30 kilometers from Goslar. When you are in the Harz, please send me a Email so that we can meet us!

I needed round about 300 hours to take my bike into this condition!

@ Alan

This pictures were from 2005/2006!

Martin,

Any chance you could post pics of the bracketry you've made under the seat/ on the subframe to get the SP1 seat unit and seat to fit?

Love the look of it and am already trawling ebay

@ Ben

Sorry, I havenÂ´t some pics from the rearframe at the moment.
But when you have a look on a SP-1 rearframe you will know what you have to do for it. To fit the electric you can make a aluminiumplate on the upper side of the frame.

I hope that I could help you a little bit!

Bye

Martin

We're hoping to slot in a day at the nurburgring too. Will post something nearer the time.

Ben go to superhawk forum.com a guy on there did the sp and now he's doingb the 1000rr he has pics of the brackets for the sp.

I was gonna do the sp but prefer the underseat yamaha/gsxr k5/k6 which hopefully i'll be doing this year.

Nice idea Alan

I will build a new Firestorm with my dad which we will buy in pieces. The frame comes next week and we already have a lot of parts in our garage.

I had the idea taking a R1 underseat rearend, too. At the front we want to take a KTM Duke 2 headunit and the radiators get the Benelli TNT sidepanels.

Then we will take a SP-1 swingarm and a r1 fork.

What do you say to this ideas?

There isn't an emoticon called "drool"

Very nice indeed - far beyond my capabilities so utmost respect for your skill. I love the colour scheme too.

Whose bellypan is it ? - very smart that one.
