Decided to turn my Firestor into a streetfighter while rebuilding it.

Fitted a single side swing arm from a 2000 VFR 800. Building custom handlebar setup and also put on a tailpiece from a 2009 R1.

Spent most of today changing the exhaust system. This is necessary as the rear shock gets totally in the way of the rear header. Many guys doing the SSSA conversion go with a single exhaust can on the left but I decided to have mine under the tailpiece but more to the sides as it's too easy to run into clearance issues with the tire if they in the centre.

Here is where she's at:

That looks like a big project :shock:

good on yer mate. I admire your confidence/knowledge.

are you renovating the old citroen in the background ?? I really like them

Keep outing photos on here, I am interested to see how this works out

Interesting project you've got there mate. Like Al says keep the piccies coming. Playerone is assembling a sssa conversion Storm at present. Good luck.

Good to see its going to be a fast black one....
Where did those cans come from, they're mental, in a good way of course.

You have a lot of work to do there Where's the rest of the engine, or are just going to drop another lump in.
