Street Fighter Day One (Tips and recommendations)

Post by LuckySpacemonkey »

Hello :P

Just looking for a few pointers for parts that might fit the bike, like the VFR800 swing arm that i will get around to at some stage. What about forks? Worth changing? Do Fireblade forks fit etc.?

Also any tail/subframes that might fit on without too much trouble. (I might make my own)

Pics to follow, i just haven’t got around to making an image hosting account.

I just bought an ‘06 and love it, also have an ‘05 ZX6R

Sweet as! Thanks. Are they much better do you know or purely aesthetic?

Also what year? Same year as my bike?

I kinda have an unforeseen ‘problem’...

I don’t think I wanna make this bike a street fighter, I don’t know if i can improve how this looks, i think it looks f#%king great. Even though I’d never think about putting camo design on a bike and it’s pretty beat up.

What would you do to mod it?

I’ve just started messing around, stripped Fairing and put up right bars on. Just mocking up stuff atm.

It’s going to remain pretty rough until the home stretch, which im in no hurry to get to.
