    ApriliaPistas Introduction to Him and His Fighter



    Okay here we go,
    I moved down to Australia, Sydney a year ago from Sweden. Married a Sheila,
    I joined the site couple of months ago. I was directed to this site by ExBen after dropping of some parts at his work shop.
    I used to have a Fireblade-92 streetfighter with the vfr swingarm, Ohlins Superbike fork and some other trick bits....I blow the engine, sold it and kept the parts I'm know selling...
    Over the last couple of years I've been travelling around the world and collected bike parts that I might be able to use for a project in the future. Well now is the future!!!!
    I got hold of an Aprilia Sp Engine with frame here in Australia, I have a trick HRC Honda rc45single sided swingarm in magnesium with the HRC race kit rear axle. I have sixpots AP-racing in the front, Ap-Racing 2 piston on the rear with Ap racing thumbrake.
    I have BST Carbon wheels back and front ( wish I had some other wheels, don't like them)
    Front suspension is Ohlins Superbike fork used in the german Superbike champion ship.
    Custom made triple clamp with 80mm bottom clamp!
    I will probably use an original tank from the Tuono and maybe a Mv Agusta seat unit, I'll have think about that. front Fairing is an German or maybe Italian made all in Aluminium with polished side plates( I'll post some photos later on, pretty cool stuff
    Okay so I know what you all saying now. Streetfighter???? It's more a road racer to me...
    And yes in a way I agree, but I like my bike to handle well not just look awesome. It will have a really wide handle bar and jacked up rear end just like any other fighter.No fairing except for the top one. It will have a cool Aluminium radiator(polished) from Febur Racing in Italy. It will probably be a dark grey and orange colour sheme. Not sure about the exhaust but I really , really , really like the exhaust Ben did on his bike, very unique I must say.
    I will post photos on my project and keep you posted on the progress.
    Hopefully one day I might be accepted as a streetfighter rider in Aussie Land
    I need some friends!!!!!!!!!
    The photo is just a rough idea how it might look down the road.
    Feel free to comment!!!!! with some constructive feedback.
    Things I should think about, things I should consider and so on.

    And last but not least, It's a pleasure to be a member in th ASF,full membership will happen this week!!!!!

    Just don't like the rear wheel where the spokes,arms whatever you call them "meet" in the centre of the wheel, wanted more of a look like the PVM's wheel with thin spokes. Front wheel is okay thou.

    Some of us also believe that Streetfighters should go like stink on the road Sweedy, so you're not alone there.

    Welcome
