    Hey Folks

    Hey everyone, another newbie. Located in Sydney and about to start my own streetfighter project.

    Basically I ride a Hyosung GT650r as a work bike (yes i hear the rumbles already) and at a lovely 7000km into the bike from new, a lovely lady decided to pull infront of me and jam on the brakes while i was accelerating. 2 metres wasn't enough time to react and stop at 45km/h and I saw the car coming quite quick.

    Needless to say, very little damage, only the front fairing support is bent, and some scratched up plastics and a busted digi dash.

    What now? i stripped it somewhat so i can keep working, and will plan to modify the bike. I know its not worth it on a Hyosung, but that doesn't really matter, its not going to be an expensive project, just a basic one. Oh and the headlight is also damaged but still JUST works.

    Any ideas and support would be great, i've always wanted to build a fighter, but never had a bike suitable for it.

    Pictures for before, after and now.

    Burn it with fire before it breeds, the more of those Korean shit box's off the road the better!!!!!!!!!
    Nothing wrong with oil coolers as long as there not HD, the 660 is a wood duck think again.
