first fighter build

[pav69]

hey guys a quick hello, new to the fighter scene love it because every bike is a one off piece off machinery that u create yourself and being a painter who likes to be different i think streetfighter is the way to go because you can be yourself ,cheers steve.

Welcome mate

No need to get someone to do it for you. just take them off, measure and mark, measure double check, ok measure once more just in case then use a drill press with a small sized drill bit (for pilot hole) actually might as well just measure it one final time to make sure its in the right spot. then drill some pilot holes. then get a bigger drill bit and work your way up to the right size. but make sure you get those holes in the right spot coz there is no turning back if they are wrong. dont try with a hand held drill, use a drill press to make sure they the holes are straight.

[skoerbin]

if you dont have a drill press im sure someone you know or even someone on here will let you use theirs!

[pav69]

having trouble getting correct measurements everything is round or where stuff bolts on is different left to right realy bloody annoying when u know its got to be spot on

[skoerbin]

check this out. get some inspiration and see how others have done it, as they say. pictures tell a thousand words. might answer some of your questions as to where to drill

[pav69]

believe me i have looked and looked i know where i have to drill but getting both sides perfect is proving to be a real pain

[pav69]

as soon as i sort this out i need another speedo cable make a mold for a belly pan surround for my gauges and start playing with some carbon fibre and making bits and then there is another rear shock ,it never ends really does it.

Put ur bars thru the risers where u want em to sit n mark it off that. that way u kno they are the correct distance apart n should be easier to get straight!

[pav69]

ok guys barclamps are on bars are on but to tall looks like its going to be drag bars let the fun begin.

[pav69]

ok guys going to make my own bars do i need to put some sort of scor marks on bars where my clamps bolt on or should it be ok to do it without any,have any of you guys done this any feedback would be good cheers steve.
