Hi hi hi there

[Snoopy]

Allo all an nice timeecha. My name is Kieran. I ride all year round in Tassie and don't have a car licence. Proud of it.
Been riding for 3 1/2 years now, fuckin lovit. I'm nearly 21.

Righto, crunchtime. Say what you will about 'em, but I own and like my Hyosung GT650. Bought it new for my 18th bday prezzie coz it was learner legal. unrestricted now, and with my skinny arse piloting the thing boogeys along plenty fast enough for me.

And it's this big 'eavy bastard that Ima start chopping up soon. Fret not for I'm not throwing big money at the sucker. The only expensive bit's I'll have'll be a UJM front end and a single sided swinger, hopefully an S2R jobbie to match the big tube frame.

I plan on fabbing a sortof cafe-ish tail, gunna nestle a 4 1/2 headlight right back in the tripple clamps, bin the clocks for a litle tacho/speedo ala mt-01, and I want looooong, narrow straight pipes, coming up under the footpeg all Zoomie-style.
I've got some computer skills about me, and I've made a 3D model of it to preview it all. I'm liking what I see.

Atm the only mods are risers and flat bars, and the optional polished sports can.

Endrant

[K6Thou]

Welcome along bloke.

[fimpBIKES]

pics man PICS!

[Snoopy]

Righto lads, freshly rendered for your entertainment.
Sick idea for the tail. I was thinking cafe hump style, then I was thinking put a little ducktain on that, and I realised that'd look kinda like an SS helm, so I'm gunner have two round tail lights unda.
A current German trend is putting freaky-mask headlight shrouds over twin spots, but this shit will look mental shining red. 'Sides, cagers are more likely to see the tail than the front end.
Not sure if I'll need the hugger, have to wait n see if shit sprays up me back.
Pics ensue

Welcome mate, I really like the concept drawings. I also like the hugger.

[xa-mont]

pair of these rotated a little so it looks like "angry eyes" :D

[xa-mont]

the smallest one of those is 90mm though, so they would look a little bit i reckon.

[kev@vcm]

hey there kerian from tassie , wondering if your the same kerian as my mate whos in tassie and the same age as you ? welcome to the maddness kerian

[Snoopy]

G'day kev, um not sure if I'm the blokeyaknow, are ye from the mainland? I don't know anyone from up there.

Cheers for the feedback guys, I really can't wait to get stuck into it! Financial situate will be good to roll soon, I make decent enough money and I've got no finantial resposibilities bar rent, food, grog etc. I'm going to have to buy a few tools though.
S2R swingers on fleabay for 1k delivered minus wheel, vfr jobbies for a third of that. Might have to contact mainland wreckers methinks. For the meantime I reckon I'll beef up the look of the flacid bocks-steel swinger with some ally sheet "bracing" [|)]

Just got the latest Streetfighters yesty, the bandit on cover is a stonker.

[Skinner]

so keen on anything cafe style ;) welcome mate.

[naked ninja]

welcome mate. im also in lonnie, had a gt650 myself up until a month ago. we ride a bit so if your keen yell out

[Snoopy]

Yeah mate, I'd be well keen too come for a blast. What did you upgrade to from the GT?

[naked ninja]

2011 z1000, factory fighter. had a gpz fighter i built before the hyo, got a bobber project on the go atm and once i finish that im gunna build another fighter

[Snoopy]

Fuck yeah on the Yammy, that new ally backbone looks solid as. What sort of bobber you building? I get The Horse every month, love the bobs in that.
I wish I'd kept my Honda CM 250, that would've loved to go under the hack

[naked ninja]

kwaka dont you mean?? lol. building an xs650 bobber, stroked to 740cc, no drop, 3inch stretch, bout 3/4 the way so far. wanna build another fighter real soon though now that my skills are slowly getting better

[Snoopy]

Uh, yeah, Kwaka :p I was only just having the first cuppa of the day lol
The bobber sounds awesome, did you cut up the frame yourself?

[naked ninja]

the tail is from tc bros in the states, but yeah cut it all up myself and tacked up the rear. so which hyo do you ride? not the black one from coles???

[Snoopy]

Nah, I've parked next to that bloke for a laugh though! Mines the same as his, 2008 model in black, but he had a nice yoshi carbon can, I've factory polished sports can. And my bike is a hell of a lot dirtier than his...

[Snoopy]

Sen't ya an email with my number, hit me up for a ride sometime

[trumpy509]

hi mate did something similar to the "twin rear light" thing on my old Z650 using old mini/landrover tail-lights mounted on an alloy bracket tucked under the ducktail. it looked great and got heaps of comments.
