Hi all I am looking at converting my 1994 gsxr 750 into a streetfighter.
I was after info on where to start and if anyone has if they could pass on some info to make my life easier.
I will be looking at using it to go rides with the boys so nothing to over board.
I would like even to start on put different handle bars on it as I would be keen to have ones that sit on top of the forks.
Any help would be great and looking forward to hear from you.
+Welcome to the house buddy, I recommend you start by having a search around the forum, there are a stack of threads dedicated to photos of peoples fighters, look at other peoples build threads as well. The problem with your question is fighters are an individual thing so what we think looks good, may in fact not be what you want.
The good news is you have a fairly common bike, so start by pulling off your fairings, find a tail you like and get your triple tees drilled to take your flat bar risers.
How do you drill the triple tree to suit flat bars.
I know with a drill but I meant is there away to measure where you drill or do you just sit them on there and get it looking good then dril where they go ?.
Start by looking under the top of your tripples to see when a bolt will fit without interfering with webbing underneath etc look at the risers you fancy (single bolt, twin, upright, offset etc etc) plus make sure you can get the risers to suit the bars you want. Once you work out the location measure heaps center punch locations go for it.
Is there anywhere in Australia that you can buy kits from and that can also help with other parts of the build and also a good price list.
Would anyone know a place that I can find out about what other people have done to a bike same as mine.
Welcome aboard Reece, If your not keen on drilling your top triple don't go past this mob,
http://www.topyokes.com/comfort_kit_+_handlebars/316
and don't buy in Aus because you'll get raped with price..
That kit is $392 (posted) for a CNC Top clamp with risers, Bars and Braided Brake lines..
Or you can upgrade to fat bars or black kit or just get top yoke by itself and source your own bars..
and have a look in here for some inspiration hey,
GSXR750 - 1985-1996
GSXR1100 - 1993-1998
GSXR1100 - 1986-1992
Good Luck Mate and enjoy..
Thanks for all of the input it a big help and I think I might give it a go at drilling myself what's the worse that can happen.
That's true streetfighter spirit! Welcome aboard Reece.quote:original post by bluedrags

Mate those dash units are just cheap shit get yourself an acewell heaps better IMO
Glenn Eason drinks and smokes and lends his arse to other blokes
if you want to go cheap on gauges get a $20 pushie speedo
otherwise like rod said, go for quality, its something you look at every few seconds
acewell, koso, motogadget etc
with the lights try to stay away from anything without h4, h7 types globes.
things with downlights and parking light style bulbs are generally rubbish for light output
Rev the fucker!!!!!
if you want to go cheap on top yolk's get one from anything at the
wreckers with the same size folk tubes and cut the centre out
between the two clamps including the bit that takes the stem.
left and right ends bolt to the fork tubes above your current one.
Seen it done a couple of times, looks dodgy as f*ck! ... [)]
for 40 bucks more than that crap you can get an acewell
Done the stripping of bike and getting ready to start the hard work.
My bike isn't registered at the moment and I was wondering if I should get it done before I change things around as I don't know what it is like in nsw to register a bike which has been changed.
If anyone knows would be great if you could let me know and can I was wondering if I need special bars or can I use the ones from local bike shop?.
Sorry about all the questions but would like to get it right the first time.
do rego then go to town get all your bits in the mean time
How dod I add pictures?.
