hi guys im new here and would like to start my build. i dont know how the laws work around streetfighters. i need some advice please. say i can buy a standard bare frame from the states. would i be able to register it here in qld?

Hi,

There is a much easier way.

1.Buy a bike that has Rego.
2.Mod the shit out of it.
3.DON'T let the rego run out :)

You're weclome.

Hi and welcome Mike,

Whether you can register the frame may depend on the make and age of the bike. I believe any pre 1989 bikes can be registered, but you'll need an import approval that lists that frame number.

What bike you planning to build?

[mike grove]

ive got a ktm 990 motor so i need a suitable frame that i can rego. ive just bought a bmw s1000rr stat write off for the motor to go into my race buggy. im planning to use the front and rear end on the fighter and then ive got complete tail with subframe and seat from ducati 1048. i suppose anything with steel trellis frame would do.

[mike grove]

nah i wanna use the parts ive got available mate. thanx

You need to speak to ozzy1100, he'll build you a frame to go around the ktm lump.... Then get the ICV rego.

[mike grove]

thanks for that mate. ive just been to the ktm site here in au and it looks like i can buy the superduke frame new. surely i can register that. i will phone them tomorrow.

It seems like you just need a frame to get your build going...I guess you could use www.findapart.com.au (http://www.findapart.com.au) and see if anyone has a superduke frame that isn't on the written off register??

[ozzy1100]

If new frame to much $ you can always mod
a frame from another bike instead of full custom
Will be intresting to see how much they want for a replacement

[mike grove]

i will try that thanks mate

[mike grove]

2100 dollars. but it doesnt help me. its only replacement and doesnt come with compliance

[ozzy1100]

That's not to bad, talk to a Enginer the rules in Qld have changed

[mike grove]

cool i will thanks

[mike grove]

well guys i binned the idea of trying to get a frame for my ktm motor. way too many problems with trying to register import frames and stuff. i got hold of a 2002 r1 instead. and its not stat. so yeah as soon as it arrives i will start my build

[TillerRider]

welcome Mike and glad to see you have a bike on the way, bugger that you couldn't make something outta the box

[mike grove]

well i just bought that bandit 1200 frame from sharky. so lets see what that will become.

[ozzy1100]

bandit frame is not a bad base, its steel, its strong enough and they look all right

[mike grove]

and the price was ok too plus it can be registered.

[xa-mont]

... Should put the KTM donk in it!

[mike grove]

thats what im planning on doing mate. the r1 rocked up as well so im busy with that at the moment. and the bmw s1000rr motor has got to go into my offroad buggy too. just waiting for the key from germany. so yeah ill be busy for a while i think.
