HYOSUNG whats wrong with a Hyosung? It has USD forks with a nice chunky top yoke just begging for a set of anodised silver flat drag bars, Twin spar tubular frame, sexy V twin engine, kick arse rear end, and a real nice twin headlamp conversion.
If you dont like the name, paint over the f@cker! But the rest of the bike looks top notch streetfighter to me matey.
An another thing........ 'How much more money are you going to spend on that bike?'
Spends loads on clothes and shoes!
Are we married to the same woman mate?
-
not married to the same but i do think there all the same :D , and i do like my bike a lot because its different to the usual name brands
-
I like your bike a lot too mate. Keep up the good work.
-
Starting to look the goods mate. Who cares what the name on them is?
-
The only issue with a hyosung is the sometimes dodgey components and build quality - but if your building a fighter it makes a great idea. I said this ages ago - if you are going to ditch half the stuff and replace it/rebuild it then who cares what you start off with. Especially considering I saw one in good nick on motorcycle disposals this morning for 1500 bucks. Cheap.
You'll just need to stick a blower on top so you can keep up with everyone else ;)

to true , i am a member of the korider (hyosung) forum and there are sure a lot of lemon bikes out there real hit and miss with any of the earlier models pre 06 but have seemed to have sorted the problems out but this has not helped there resale value at all , touch wood havent had a drama yet , as for power to keep up with the big dogs turbo v twin 650 would be great , but i am happy with what i got at the moment keeps up with the others in the twistys at the moment
-
so i finally finished the dash and lights so here are some pics
the dash , shift light next to the speedo set at 8500rpm bright enough to be spotted from the moon too
http://www.streetfighters.com.au/for...3936563421.jpg
replaced the globes for red LED ones
http://www.streetfighters.com.au/for...3936547464.jpg
the WR450 screen modded and painted , lights mounted 100mm angel eyes
http://www.streetfighters.com.au/for...3936560092.jpg
doesnt look to bad , mini indicators fitted (notice the english sky :D)
http://www.streetfighters.com.au/for...3936548982.jpg
angel eyes in action , camera doesnt do it any justice
http://www.streetfighters.com.au/for...3936530082.jpg
one for low and one for high , but as some as i figure how to wire in a diode to make both come on for high ill do it
http://www.streetfighters.com.au/for...3936529003.jpg
all in all after lots of head scratching it turned out pretty good i thinks
-
Lookin good mate.
Yeah, the older Hyo's do hav some problems, one of my mates hav one that we're in d middle of modding a bit, but the thing doesnt even start anymore. Probably due to abuse and neglect rather than build quality tho.
What else u got planned for it???

Looking good matey, any plans to put on a belly pan. I stuck one on my old 900 Monster, and it looked ok. Stick a few blue LED's on the belly pan, and with the Angel eyes it will look killer at night.
-
Like the angel lights, Nice Hyo.Easy to fit?
-
Looks Fookin Great Hyo, Im Impressed! you did all that with a 1/4 Inch Whitworth spanner and a Leatherman??? Ha ha na Good shit ill Have a gander of it tonight when i come round.
-
I want that Megatech light!
Nice build mate!
-
update: turns out that 12579 ks of good hard riding and chasing rockhard (moz) on his ducati fighter through the hills is all a hyo 650 motor can take , seems it devoloped a bit (insert massive) rattle ,and knock .
good thing its under warranty still and there going to repair it but after i get it back it will be time to move on whilst it still has some warranty and time for a new project
-
Mmm, never looked at them frames before but they would come up sweet with some trickerising and usd's on em stock yeah ?
how did ya go with the shift light ?. I got one here from pete before he moved his pistop up north and the bastard needs tossin in the bin.
-
was a real pain in the arse to get working i basically used the internals of the tacho as a signal modifier , is posted somewhere in this thread
and yes USD's as standard there okay but not the best no preload adjustment
-
Sorry to hear about the motor mate, thats a real fucker. Hope you get it sorted soon Fella.
-
Hey Scotty,thats allegedly chasin. its not like you were pulling massive revs or anything,you were smooth and quick that day..
-
many have been smooth but quick im not sure on , more cubes will fix that , you still have that vfr there at work or anymore , are the 90-95 models the same bike just cosmetically different ?
