Hi to everyone out there.

Just joined the forum so I might as well introduce myself.

I have a 1985 GSX750S Kat which I am endeavouring to streetfighter.
You dont see too many of the things out and about - so I thought a 'fightered kat might raise a few eyebrows!:D

I also have a motard for daily use to and fro - a DRZ400sm.

I hope to post a few before and after photos soon - as I have been working on the kat for the last few weeks.

Cheers

Thanks guys,

Yep - sort of. The trouble is that there arent too many fightered ones about to get ideas from. This is a new frontier. It already is missing the fairings and headlight so i have a blank canvas for it.

Things i have got but yet to install:

1. 93 gsxr rims (gold) front and rear
2. swingarm conversion
3. Fat bar and clamps, mirrors
4. Gxsf seat

The rest i am still sourcing i.e;

5. Fork stiffeners
6. Pods
7. Headlight / front end - not sure which way to go single or duals or square with kat screen???
8. Tail section

Bugger it - I'll go and take a photo for yas.

Thats the worst part Davo......I bought the DRZ then 2 weeks later i got the streetfighter bug searching around for bling for the motard - I came across this site!
No choice on the gold wheels - they were whatever i could get my hands on - nothing powder coating cant fix. Bloody expensive looking for 2nd hand parts in oz.
I'll keep posting pics every now and then to keep you guys laughing....

Yeah Rocket - from up north of WA! But I do post on PSB sometimes.

Cheers guys for your welcomes -

One thing is for sure - she will be unique. There wont be much kat left in her by the time I finish - so it's a matter of finding the right balance between the new stuff and trying to keep some part of her that is recognisable as a kat.

As you guys say....let the madness begin!

Mmmmmm, i lurve blank canvases to make my juices flow :D
I reckon a set of USDs up front 04 R1 seat unit/subframe would look the nuts on that [8D]

Good ideas exile!
I like getting suggestions about what to mod and install.
Keep them coming - I am open to opinions about what to do on it.
