Good to find other bike modifying types here. Especially into modifying modern Jap bikes. I hope I can learn stuff and contribute something too.

I would love to become a professional whistler. I'm pretty amazing at it now, but I wanna get, like, even better. Make my living out of it.
Yella turbo ZX7 Winner VCM Best Streetfighter and SOS encouragement award NFR 2011

First up I admit this bike isn't a streetfighter.
It isn't much of any category of custom bike. But I have done loads of non-reversible customising to it, and personal circumstances dictate that selling it and buying summat else isn't an option.
It started out as this (a bog stock Honda 650 transalp)
but now (after a lot of work by yours truly) it looks like this
The big tasks were making the seat and the handlebars higher 'cos I'm 6'5", and removing the fairing, which involved relocating the miles and miles of wiring.
I don't use it off road anymore so the look I am now going for is ratfigher style. I am gathering the bits to do that cosmetic work as we speak, and I hope to have that finished within the next two months of spare evenings and weekends. Long term I considering either a top end or complete engine from an Africa Twin (750cc)
Like I say, I know its hardly a fast bike so not truly a streetfighter, but I've been in and around the custom bike scene for 20 years (started in the UK) and I'm drawing more styling influence form streetfighers than any other style of bike.
Plus this is the only true custom bike forum I have found in Oz that isn't Harley based or "firestones and pipe wrap on a fk'd CX500 = cafe racer"
That looks like a dirty great big pit bike mate, and it's paint means low maintaince which works for me.
I like it, even if it is a dirty honda......
Smart. I like that. Not my sort of thing but I like that you've made it look completely different from the original
Does Sharky have a brother????
Oh yer welcome
I was thinking the same thing
