Mate. It's Google's fault. Click here: www.streetfighters.com.au/forum and use it instead of this window. Close this one. If you get really screwed over just send 'em to me mate. I'll put them up for you - webmaster@streetfighters.com.au

Hey theres some nice Kats on this post! Anyway, the specs on my bike are "reasonably" stock except the obvious stock 750, carb jet, rigid rear, 12" swinger extension, alternator blockoff changed gearing and lightened everywhere possible. It does a 10.7@125mphbut i have to say that even though its my bike its not my work on it. I'm currently changing it back for road use and will eventually fighterize it when i do the 7/11 mod. Thanks for fixing the photos also Gix!

Hey luke4130, what's your connection to the old school web site? Are you owner of that? I know it says your a carpenter, is it a side job?What do you mean by "rigid rear", trying to learn your lingo?

A ridgid rear is just as it sounds mate, an unsprung rear end, used in drag racing these days.
Hardley Dawdling have a fake one called a softtail.

If I'm not reading this right, let me know but, it sounds like a rigid tail is kind of popular over there.What's the reasoning? Do alot of you drag race on the side with these? Or is it just the thing to do? not trying to be cocky, just trying to figure out what it's all about.

Nah mate, you only see rigids on drag strips, and Hardley Dawdlin' choppers.
A few of the guys have track day or drag strip only bikes, as well as street bikes.
Rigids are only good for keeping the thing under control when launching at the strip, but make for lousy handling street bikes (along with the hugely wide rear tyre / extended swing-arm that most drag bikes run)
You'll find that biking in Aus is very similar to the US. Probably the closest to the US in attitudes/behaviours/likes/dislikes. The biggest difference (apart from the accentsis the size of the market, 20 million as aversed 280 million population. Streefightering is still fairly small over here.

HEY CHALK10, Streetfighters here is barely hit the map, the only guys who really know anything about them is the stunt guys and a handful of real motorcycle nuts.We are going to change that hopefully, there really is maybe 3 of us on the web from the states that are really pushing it. I know for me, when I roll one and take it for a ride, people are just amazed(which is what we are after), but most people in this area, won't pony up any money to have one done, so all of our business comes from out of this state.The other thing that hurts us is the riding time, in Wisconsin we are lucky to get 7 months to ride, and of that it's cut down because of the business.But, we'll be out there when we can, showing our shit off and laughing at the harley guys, and throwing out the 1 finger salute.

Yeah Streetfighters is only just getting going here in Australia, mostly from immigrant poms (Aussie slang for Englishmen).
This is the only serious streetfighter site in Aus that I know of, and we only have one streetfighter shop servicing the country.
But things are building, give it another couple of years and it'll be like the skateboard craze in the 80's, where the people who got in early will made a killing out of it.
Wisconsin? is that far from Pennsylvania? I think I have a sister living there (married one of you lot), well the name started with P anyway
