So,I keep seeing 'fighters out and about,but howsabout a show of hands for the fighter riders on here then? What ya got?!

*tumbleweed*.....

I think cheesy might still have one but thats it i think mate

Depends what is classified as a "'fighter" ........ Some people's perception is a sports bike that's had the fairings binned and the bodywork covered in matt-black, some people think it's a bandit with a loud can and twin-headlights, some people think they have to have renthall's, others think a bike can have clip-on's and still be a fighter ....... some people think you can just go and buy one from Ducati or Triumph ...... it all depend's on your personal perception of the genre

Does this count


Oh, and how modified does it have to be Mine has: Fat-bar conversion; Carbon-wrapped DNA Handlebar fairing; TLR Clock conversion; Yosh TLR Headers, one-off link pipes & Micron carbon cans; Relocated oil cooler; Relocated Coolant bottle; Transistor TRE; PCII; +3 rear sprocket; Hyperpro steering damper & 916 style mount; Maxton Re-Valved forks; Tokico 6 pot callipers; HEL braided hoses; TLR Swing-arm cut and re-welded to fit; Bitubo shock; Yellow Box speedo-healer; 98+ Thermo-mod; JarkkoT +/- mod; Airbox mod; K&N air filter; Riflemans 1/5th throttle insert; Harris carbon mudguard; Carbon Solo Seat Unit; Pyramid undertray; Powder coated wheels; Mini indicators; LSL rearsets; Scotoiler and possibly some other bit's I've forgotten

Nice one moose, seeing a TL makes me wanna go out and get another one straight away. Did you get theTLR clocks to work out ok on the wiring then? I keep thinking that I'll pop down one day for a gas but the usual gets in the way. Andy

When did the TL turn black?

Following my son's 2-stroke moped If you look closely, the only bit thats really black is the fuel tank - the rest is carbon fibre

Yes ..... sort of. The d'Ecosse tach-scaling gizmo does the job great, but I think there must be an issue with my soldering or the clocks as every so often the tacho just stops working and drops to zero There again it could just be the cr*p stock Suzuki wiring loom and all the rubbish crimped connectors inside it

moose, thats gorgeous!

p.s, i have bandit 600, renthals, bar end mirrors, jacked up, stupidly loud stubby. But i dont class it a "fighter" till it has twin head lights

take it the street fighters are the same as Rat bikes or do they need a shovel and webbing on them

One R3 streetfighter... almost complete.

Jesus mate I take my hat off to you! What engine is that!?! I recognise the tail end whats it from?

Triumph Rocket III motor, and it looks like either a ZX12 or late Daytona seat unit


To answer your question in another thread, thankyou, I'm pleased with the way it's coming out The tank was a bargain at £45 from ebay - looks unused
