wow, thanks to you all,
ye made me feel right welcome, a braw bunch ye are,
i'm not on the comp on a regular basis, i'm real busy with all the other sh*t i got goin on, just got a friends cbr streetfighter to chop????? why chop a streetfighter i hear you ask,,,,,well she got this guy in the west to build it an basically in my opinion, its fu**n sh*t, i'll post some pics of it asap, see what you guys think, i rekon on just keepin the components an startin anew with another frame, she's seen the stuff i built before an now has gave up on the streefighter look an wants a "street chop"...
anyway i'll keep youz posted, once again,,,,,,,Hi

well here it is, comments????
Whats wrong so far, frame above engine fouls forks, and is non symetrical, no steering stops(used frame??), electrical system is non-useable and haninging free, no mono-shock linkage fitted, just bolted 2 the swingarm an frame, tank is loose, oh sh*t i could go on for a long time about this, basically, you know when you look at a nice custom bike and the more you look, the more you see the nice little details, well this is the exact opposite, this bike cost that bird £2600 to get built, guess they saw her comming.
anyway, your comments are welcome, i'm not sure where to start,lol, jus kiddin,.

Okies - I've been staring at this pic for over half an hour.
You'll be lucky to make a sow's ear out of this :(
Take that chequerplate and post it back to whoever made them with an impolite note...
Powdercoat the swingarm and fork-legs in gun-metal grey, the wheels in a light shade of silver.
Cut down/replace the front mudgaurd for something much smaller.
Get rid of the shiny thing in the middle (batterybox?).
A shiny exhaust would go a long way...
Little side-panels to continue the tail-piece to the frame.
I would consider mesh sidepanels to fit the underneath of the tank (out of black speaker grillle (with the little round holes) as it's doubtful there is anything worth showing off in there.
If you can't re-fit the rising rate, then you may have to fit a stronger spring to the shock.

hi nitro,
I think i'm gonna bin the frame an start again,just keep the major components, i got a couple of old frames liyin around, just turn it into a mono-shock chop, (with the linkage), your right about the wheels, an the exaust, they should at least be some kind of feature, ohy, an , yea that silver thing is the battery box,.
i appreciate your comments though man, i'm glad i'm not the only one who thinks this is a monstrosity, oh yea, the tubing is thin walled 20mm tube, not even cds, i darent even go out on it just to see how it rides, lol..
cheers.
