Hey guys!
Just signed up. I was told by a mate who I think is a regular here that this was the place to talk street fighters. I live in Newcastle and have recently built myself an 04 R1 street fighter. I bought it damaged which I then made up some aluminium brackets to mount a GSXR1000 headlight. I wired up an Acewell speedo and threw on some Renthal Fat bars. I lowered the gearing and basically left it at that.
My plan was to have a bit of fun here and there and take the missus for a ride on the back. I thought the upright seating position would make her like it, but guess what, she hates it. Cause I lowered the gearing, of course all it wants to do is wheelie so that doesn't please her much either.
The bike is a great thing to ride and after owning many roadies, dirtbikes and a super moto, this is the best of all worlds.
But my main objective was to have a toy that could include my wife as we have three kids and do not get much of a chance to get out and about without them. So I thought I'd sign up, introduce myself and see what happens.
thanks guy!
