http://www.streetfighters.com.au/forum/upload/959547824155116.jpg


so i took her clothes off to try n sort out the mess of wires cause i had to
fit my dash of the 91 model as well as the rest of the electrics.put the tripple
clamp n bars from my old bike as well as other bits n pieces

http://www.streetfighters.com.au/forum/upload/95954782489946.jpg


these next pics are for lucas....
workin on it on new years eve b4 headin out 3/4 cut i forgot to put the stand down Doh.

then a mate say's "hey scotty do a burnout on my bike" y not i say....

http://www.streetfighters.com.au/forum/upload/95954782447026.jpg


so after a few very hungover days i tried to use my old dog bones but there too
short. i like the look of it at this height but the shock hits the swing arm.

scotty mac
10-02-2009, 09:29 AM
rod: it hasn't been on the road for a few weeks n i live on the beach. shit rusts quick here.

deniz: the megatard has kinda been put on hold sooo i'll do the same to this one.

i thought i'd do something a bit different on the front end with the guard, i've also got another head light to put on( still a enduro light)

flyingfatman

megatard was fucking epic i wanna see it finished:P

scotty mac

a bit of a up date, wanted to do a motard style guard with a bit of differance so i used a vtr 250 guard chopped into a motard style and used some off cut from a cbr1000 nose fairing.

had to cut holes to run brake lines.

http://www.asfphotos.com/upload/1248100751.jpg



and picked up one of these

different is what i'm aiming for, the seat isn't as bad as ya think its softer than the tank :D. had hard foam put in on the sides n base n soft foam on the front but still might have some taken out. i'll wait for the first test ride to tell.

thought bout a shorter pipe but its fookin loud enough as it is! think the nieghbours are startin to get the shits.
and the seat WILL be gettin chopped bac at the front.[B)]
was only on it 5 min the other day(first run) n fouled all 4 plugs then relised the seats gotta change!!! i'm a short ass so i'm a lil streched across the tank n squashed me nads!!!

too easy surt will do.
i'm fittin up some CR500 shrouds this arvo to hide the rad. i sized them up n don't look too bad. but going to need a bit of bending n shaping.

awesome! looks like a mad road/MX hybrid. I wasn't sure how the headlight and front guard were going to work, but they work nicely, it looks good from every angle which is sometimes hard to achieve with new ideas like that, well done!!
