Mono's VTR 1000

[Gix11]

Posted by Mono: - Please respect the bike and the website guys.

Here are some pics of my bike.

Its a Modified VTR1000F Firestorm, with a slightly warmed motor.
I sourced the parts from Italy, Holand, the USA, UK & Stu from Austreetfighter. Ben (Exben - Extreme Creations) put it together.

I know its not a "Streetfighter" as such, & my bike is not the reason I frequent this site, as much as I admire the work being done in all areas of Performance Streetbike Modification. Exben is the one who put me onto the site!

Here's a list of mods - parts:

*50mm Showa USD forks (Ducati)
*Brembo Gold series calipers (Front & rear)
*Marchesini 5 spoke wheels
*Ducati 916 front guard in Red CarbonFibre & Gold mesh
*Mario Nava Full Fairing with Peugeot SpeedFlight Twin Headlights
*Mario Nava seat unit in Carbon Fibre
*Custom Sub-frame
*Custom wiring loom
*Gilles Clip-on (VarioBars) Handlebars
*ABM Radial MasterCylinders (Clutch & Front Brake)
*ABM Rear Master Cylinder
*HyperPro rear shock
*JMC Braced Swing Arm with concentric chain adjuster + Custom ChainGuard
*Gilles Rearsets
*Custom Upholstered seat (Charcoal MicroSuede - weather resistant)
*Avanti Carbon Mirrors
*Exan underseat exhausts + elecroplated headers
*Tinted screen
*Braided Lines (Brake & Clutch)
*LED '04 R1 Tail light
*LED Spearhead Indicators
*Wheels, Subframe & Engine covers powdercoated candy red
*520 chain conversion in 15 - 42 sprocket sizes....

[BOHEMION]

[monogone]

[Gix11]

Yea, yea.......

[clairebear]

[suxukifreak]

I like it a LOT, cause i had one a couple of years ago... black with polished wheels and loud pipes [:p] and welcome Mono.

[crazymofo]

LOL!

cheers.joe.

[cammy9r]

Nice ride monoman. I particularly like the headlight blackouts used for the track. Just a couple of questions, mate only 'cause i usta race -
Are you racing competetively? What grade? How many tracks you been at?

Cheers mate... in answer to your questions..
1. The headlights were removed, taped up & re-inserted. Thats why they appear to be fabricated cut-outs.
2. Was to start racing in D grade a few years ago, but theives stole my R1. Kids came on the scene & that ended that! Now I only ride the track socially. However, with the frequency the cops are hitting the best roads now, the trackdayz are becoming more regular.
I've only riden Oran Park & Eastern Creek, although I plan to do the Island during the GP period!

very nice i like it. like BOHEMION said "I rekon it defnately shows a good example of a Faired Fighter".

[gibbo]

Like a lot of you people I like to read Streetfighter mag. I see quite a few faired bikes featured and still considered streetfighters, why is that not the case here?
By the way Mono, I reckon your bike looks shit hot.

[oldskool]

Mono great bike lots of money well spent, the fire storm is a great motor please keep an eye on your cam chain tentioners as a failer makes a big mess with such big slugs (pistons) and Iv seen a couple of them do it ;)
No affence ment but a Street Fighter has no clothes nor klip ons, ( Hey Im Old Skool )

[oldskool]

Wave that flag boyz. The mighty Suzuki banner, God of the Fighter nation !

[suxukifreak]

Nothing like being naked and big bars ;)

I'm with ^^^ Dylan and Crazymofo.But like i said before,nice build Ben.

[dane_ra]

Bike looks great mate.

Just wondering, what is a fighter if it can have clipons and fairings? Not wanting to start anything...lol but what the hell are the guidelines?

[monogone]

Mate, never said I had a fighter. I was asked by other members (whom shall remain nameless), to provide photos of my ride!
But cheers for your comment anyways!
I have also heard the comment of a "Faired Fighter", but i'm not sure what that is, as my opinion of a streetfighter is a modded naked bike as well.

[BOHEMION]

Custom, Unique, Streetable and goes like a shower of shit! oh and lets not forget attitude and aggression of the bike. Guide lines are what ever you can come up with. Classic fighter, Old Skool, New Era and total fighter conversions e.g. A Tourer made into a sweet custom sports job. Its up to you mate.

[monogone]

See, thanks to Bohemion here, we all learn something. Now I have a true sense of belonging.... Comeon everyone.... group hug[:p]

[crazymofo]

bugger off.. no hugging here mate.

cheers.joe.

[BOHEMION]

ooh common Mofo, Give us a hug mate HAHAHAHHA

[crazymofo]

fuck off

LOL!!

cheers.joe.

[BOHEMION]

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA I know what would cheer ya up Joe, a nice big BOHEMION HUG! hahahaha

[oldskool]

Boy needs a cuddle , Streetfighter is also an attitude aswell as a desire to rip off all your clothes and tear up the street with your feet ablaze with smoke, your own arse in your mouth, and make all ya harley ridein fuckwit neighbours go "shit that rice burnin boy got CLASS!"

[monogone]

Ok and after that, maybe a cuddle.... :lol:
