She will be a Ratfighter when complete, my budget does not allow for shiny things.
My budget doesnt even allow for petrol at the moment, but that is another story.

I dont own a car, I dont own many tools, I dont have a shed. I ride Suzy to work and back five days a week, so it will be a slow project involving mods that dont take her off the road for more than a day or two at most.

So far I have stripped the front fairings off, and added a pair of 2008 model something-or-other-scooter mirrors, mounted through two existing holes in the headlight support frame thing.

The mirrors cost me $20 for the pair and I convinced the salesman to unscrew them off one of the two display bike at a sunday market.
I needed two nuts and four washers to hold the mirrors on, so I rode 80 km and traded a kit-kat for the extra parts, I love my Dad :)

Suzy aint pretty, but she's faithful.

I love it. :D

Bling is for posers anyway. Character is made, not bought.

Nice job.

LMAO. Yeah, that's gold. :D

Cool, I recommend you take all the plastic off the tail and just have the subframe and the seats.

[Tone]

Nice one Smiley,looks just like mine...'cept blacker!

[Smiley]

Not sure about the back side plastics, possibly going to make some thing 'skinnier' from fibreglass, and intend to make a rack and small lock box to replace the back seat so I can tour or put the seat back to take a pillion.

looks complete to me

[Fight_fan]

How did ur bike turn all rusty just from taking the fairings off? Im confused!

[Smiley]

The first photo is from a few years ago when i first replaced the original tank and fairing with second hand stuff from a wreckers..the second photo is from a few days ago,aout twenty minutes after i stripped it......

[Fight_fan]

Here is a photoshopped image of the bike when I first got it.

Wonder how the K'll look with new seat and painted black?
I love photoshop...even though I battle with it.

[Smiley]

I have some very vague plans to change the headlight, instruments, swingarm, and rear subsection. photoshop is great for seeing 'WHAT IF?'

It all depends on what I can scrounge up for the right price :)

[Smiley]

spent all my pocket money on rubber, brake pads and a pretty gold link chain!

[zx12argh]

that gold chain sounds supiciously like bling - hit it with the rattle can
stick some grass in the frame and zip tie a dead animal to it and your rat fighter will be completed ;)

I used to ride with a guy who had a FJ that was basically ocky strapped and taped together, but man the guy could ride....ask the 4 fireblade riders that got smoked by an FJ and a KLR-250 along the coast road hahahahahaha

[Smiley]

The chain is dull gold links, not shiny, and as for road kill...I live in the country, i get road kill real regular!

[Smiley]

Oh, and being a postie, I have a bunch of rubber bands wrapped around the clutch lever bracket from deliveries I do before I collect the postie bike!
