My SRAD streetfighter

[Thruan]

hey guys, bin poking round this forum for a while, love fighters, wanted to build a zx9 fighter, but i ended up stacking my gsxr and decided to fight it instead of selling it off.. few pics, little bit old now, its changed a little, it has a black front rim, tail is black, bar end mirrors, and the wiring re-taped.. its a work in progress, have plans for it, just need the $$$

cool :D
srad's make good fighters but the huge wasp arse has to be ditched,
i dunno what suzuki were thinking when they thought a huge arse was a good thing,...
a big bum is never a good thing :D
can you take a side on photo, so i can have a play on mspaint :D
cheers, keep up the good work (i don't mean crashing :D)

Hey Man ... welcome .. You got a good base right there , i know what you mean about the no money thing but there are so awesome bikes here that didnt cost the earth to build , you just gotta think outside the box .... And im with hmmmnz ditch the tail

[lewis]

I put an r1 tail on mine dude, but its still too long.I think with these things you need to build one nice and short because of the wheel base

[Thruan]

yeah, bin looking around for a tail to replace mine.. havent found anything i like yet.. i think ive got a side on shot on my other pc.. ill go check and post it up. ive got some rather big plans for it, well the engine anyway.. something along the lines of a 7/11 for u old schoolers ;) want to find a nice belly pan as well..

[scotty mac]

welcome mate, were you getting around near pleystowe late last week wearing a black lid with flames on it? as for the tail do a search(up in the top right corner) on tails n subframes that should give you plenty of ideas.

[Thruan]

pleystowe....... na havent bin out that way for ages.. and def not on the srad.. thanks for the search tips, ill go have a looksee..

this is the most side on shot i have atm.. ill take a new one soon, she's off the road, waiting for the new tank to get here..

dont worry mate, the SRADS can turn up pretty nicely

there is a bloke on here from canada with a nice SRAD gixxer
or check out exbens or my tillers

if u want my advise, ditch those heavy wheels for some later model ones
totally transforms the whole bike!

[Thruan]

ive got a busa rim sitting down stairs, the black one i mentioned.. its going on later today.. 01-04gsxr and busa's are the same rims..

[fimpBIKES]

really? didnt realised that they had changed the wheels on the busa's

so they are the more angley looking 3-spokers yeah?

it must of been naked mat black tlr i saw. i was a fair way off the road. all i could make out was the seat hump.

Welcome aboard Shane. Don't let a cash shortage hold you back. I've been broke for years and still managed to make a truely unique and original fighter. Or maybe that's why I'm broke, lol. Either way, good luck with it and I look forward to seeing how you progress.

[Thruan]

thanks iceman.

fimp.. had another look at the rim, its the same as the srad ones.. :( i thought it was the new style that ur thinking of.. oh well shit happens.

scotty, yeh my bike is still that blue/white, well now its not.. putting the last clear coats on the tail, and my red/black tank should be here 2morro..

[Thruan]

found the tail i want.. now i just need the money.. its around $1200 unless i can find one cheaper somewhere.. but thats super unlikly..

[FIGHTERMC]

M8 buy a second hand tail{ebay} and mod you subframe
and it will save you money,1200 sounds too much
post a pic of the one you are looking at

[ZenDes]

1200 $ are round about 700 Euro...right?!

Thats much to much man!!!

Look at the german or english fight-stuff-dealer-pages...

200 Euro for a tail, 100 Euro and 2 bottle Jack for the guy who built the tailframe...100 Euro for electric, light, paint or airbrush, seat and bla bla thinks like that yoo need for it.

And from the rest of yoor money:

...champagne for da girls!!...;)

[fimpBIKES]

i said this yesterday but i guess its been deleted (fuckers)

anyways, i got a WHOLE back end off a 04 R6 last week for $620 (see my RG250 thread)



check out www.findapart.com.au and put in a search ;)

[zx12argh]

Ditto fimp - I used my own back end but bought an old r6 tailpiece - modded that the subframe and seat. Completely finished and looking great and it cost me under $500

[fimpBIKES]

fukkin hackers

but yeah, need to get the camera up and take some pics for my thread tonight
dont think anyone would need anything schmicker than what i got
its only got one area of damage that i COULD bog up if i wanted

[Thruan]

and also this is the link to the custom tail that i want, its a complete tail, subframe, undertail, tail plastics, light, indicators, plate bracket and even the seat, and it will bolt striaght onto my bike, no modding needed..

[Pab13]

Looks good that should tidy the rear up a bit but you would need to shorten that number plate hanger I recon.

[Thruan]

yeah, its not staying like that..

[lewis]

It looks like that tail would cover the original subframe, maybe only needing the rear part that bolts on to be slightly modded. Is it cheaper without the subframe? Would look sweet man!

[Thruan]

from what i can find out it comes as a complete assembly only...

[Thruan]

hey guys, thought id update my little thread.. havent done much to the bike, trying to get it tuned and running abit better atm cause im broke :(... was just checking out the bike and decided i was sick of the gauges sticking out and the lights haveing to be so low, so i pulled the gauges off and moved the lights up, as i was messing round, realised that there was a fair bit of room above the lights, sat the gauges in there, perfect fit and fills it in nicely. just gotta wait for the shops to open up 2morro so i can go get some shit to mount the gauges, and lenghten some of the wiring.. should look sweet :D pics 2morro...

and i have decided against that complete tail assembly, got something else in mind now, alot cheaper, and from what i can find, and ive bin looking, no one has done it befor :D im not gona give away what it is just yet, just need to get the money together to buy what i need..

[Thruan]

well the bracket to hold the gauges didnt happen, spent 5 hours at it, with no results other then cutting my fingers.. but anyway.. heres the new pics, yeah i know there bad pics, but its bin raining for 2 weeks and its still going to i cant get new pics till it pisses off..
