thanks all first propper ride on it since AFR,cheers
That dash pod come up great Pete
thanks rod,i have a fitment prob,being a slingy speedo the cable pick up is mounted at a 55 degree angle,,so the cable hits straight into the left head light, so ive had to mount the speedo in twisted side ways,,il have to find another from an 1100w for a straight out cable fitment,
were the bars second hand pete or new ,can you buy an adaptor for the speedo drive .
the bars were brand new ,and um the speedo after todays ride is rooted the neddle broke off,wot model bike is yurs pav

1st ride out did 300ks even ,speedo shit itself ,,and ripped the left foot peg off on a lump of tar on a left hander
95 zxr750 mate
i dont know about n adaptor,but could you change your speedo drive on th front wheel,and cable to suit
Piss the cable off and get an acewell dash one of the little round ones
dude, thats really looking good now
i would ditch the flatbars to the tail, and put on turnbuckle things
that i think i can see how you are trying to match it up to the frame
little touches make it awesome
the red hoses with that red stripe through the middle
im with rod though, modern speedo FTW
Well Pete only my 6 cents and I dont know whether you want to hear it but here gos, I think the tail looks silly and blown out by the colour, there are so many tails over that which would have looked the goods and Im with Fimp, the dash needs to be changed as the surface area it leaves doesn't work, to be honest I think you have gone back wards and as you know Im not going to blow hot wind up your arse and on that you may think Im not being fair dinks but I am.
Like I said just my opinion.
The more I look at it the more I agree with Dylan on this one Pete ....with your talent and knowhow I am certain you can make this thing a real tuff fighter
thanks guys,i am working on another dash as this one has given a few problems,with space n fitment ,as for the tail i like it ,,,with the colour i was trying for the more is less with the no strip look ,trying to make the seating rider postion stand out ,cheers for the thoughts it helps
IMO the only thing really wrong is the colour (and this applies to many 'fighters Pete, not just yours)
'Streetfighter' by definition = tough, nasty, aggressive, hard-ass....
But painting them pretty colours....makes them very 'nice' [:p]
Pete, I like it. I think the rim colour ruins it, but the rest is ok. It could use something to break the colour around the tail section but otherwise I'm for it.
I don't normally like the Euro fighter look, btu you've pulled it off well here. If you are going to change the colour slow down and search the web to find a scheme which will complement the look you're chasing.
Otherwise, well done, and send the RTA a bill for repairing your bike.
I reckon its not too bad.
Alittle too much orange for me,and i actually like orange.
Paint the wheels black...and while your at it,the frame and swinger aswell.....and maybe the engine....then the orange will look good.
Is there still a seat pad to go on that??
Also,like Shadow says,bill the RTA.
I rode through all this tar like shit on the road one time,that their workers left all over the road,and there was this shit that was so hard to take off all over my bike,i whinged,and got quotes to pro clean my bike,and the RTA gave me a cheque of around $250,or whatever the quote from the detailer was.
I like the painted wheels and the colour (don't listen to sharky he's building a chopper):D, speedo is shit but your changing that so it's no biggy.
I think the red pipes look crap next to the orange, i'd get some black ones if it was mine.
And fix your seat mounts dude....

dash ,seat mounts ,hoses noted ,will do,actually need som alloy thingys made to mount the tail with as we
I think the paint is a bit too orange and bland (coming from a bloke with an orange bike) and you really need to change the brackets for the seat. A few pages back they had posted up a replacement for the ones you originally put in. Plus they were adjustable if I recall
ive ordered the seat supports should have them next week
ive got a radial brake master off a cbr1000 on my bike so i was going to order 2x different models of levers,as my clutch master is sv1000,but after a little mod to the clutch lever mainly making a stopper in it ,and extending the throw of the push rod the cbr lever fits the sv 1000 clutch master ,

I agree to a point, but generally speaking the majority of negative comments about any members bike are simply constructive criticism.Quote:

There is an entire thread dedicated to repulsive creations that nobody has any problem with slagging off and comments like yours are rarely seen defending these abominations.
It is a fact of life that some people have an eye for design and others try their best but need a bit of direction along the way.
No doubt Pete has taken some of these comments and made changes for the better, yet others he has ignored completely because they were in no way bike related and/or not what he wanted.
Build what you want Pete, but remember that most people are just trying to help.
thanks Dan i will cheers
