Re: Al's Motorecycle Parts Emporium I suppose you're right, Mike. haha

Re: Al's Motorecycle Parts Emporium Thankfully there's plenty trained eyes here. Feel free to contact me for anything you are looking for. Need more pics? Just ask! I have a bunch of CB/CL exhaust stuff. The other is a CBR F4i. Lots of NOS gasket sets, points tune up/ rebuilds...

Sup DTT'ers, My name is Al, AKA Moose, and I've met and partied with quite a few outstandingly awesome members from DTT at Vintage Fest. I'm the bearded goon with the SV650 from Pensacola, by way of NOLA. By the way, I owe thanks to the builder of "Willow", I'm sorry I suck with names...

New front end (06 GSXR forks/calipers, 07 GSXR 750 lower triple, 05 GSXR 1000 RSD top triple, 08 GSXR 1000 rim/rotors)

I do have an interest in this debate, and I understand your perspective. But I wouldn't go saying Google is the authority on motorcycle genres. Manufacturers just bit off streetfighters b/c they are cool, and whatever big companies can do to move bikes they will. Some guy may be content...

there is no such thing as a "production" streetfighter. If it is factory, it's not a fighter.

Not much to update lately. Cleaned the carbs and ordered a bunch of parts and jets. Been doing a lot more thinking, planning (seems like most of what I do) and parts searching. Looking for 06+ GSXR 600/750 rims and front end.....so if anyone knows about any of that stuff laying around, let me...

Sweet!

Yes and no. Some streetfighters raise the tail section to improve COG. Some streetfighters use DB bars for a more upright position and hooliganism. Fairings, for the most part, are lost to trim weight and for mechanical aesthetic, but there are still fighters with fairings. All three of...

It's the first gen and the frame is ali. The stock shock is pretty squishy, depending on the mileage...... it gets real squishy past 15k

Dropped the stock rear shock. Here's a pic from before, wimpy POS. Stock on the left, zx-10R on the right. The ZX-10 is fully adjustable! Hasty mount up for visuals Bolted her in to check clearances. It's pretty tight but the spring clears the swingarm, maybe a need for a...

Are you still having the issues with it running like crap? The ZX-10R shock has similar dimensions and slightly stiffer spring compared to the stock SV shock. It pretty much bolts in, but requires modding of the battery box to clear the reseverior and I think takes the ninja dogbones. I have...

Well, the ass end is gone. I'm working on the design of the subframe, trying to think of a way to get it designed. I'm thinking of using some pvc as a mock up. The reality of it for me is most of the metal will have to be farmed out to a metal shop at some point but the engineering will be...

Here's Reckless before the start of tear down. After removing tail, tank, subframe and all the other stuff. I was feeling froggy and thought to myself, could I have the engine dropped by the morning? Fuck that, what's the rush :rolleyes:

This build is also part of the 2013 CustomFighters.com Streetfighter Buildoff. http://www.customfighters.com/forums/showthread.php?t=61396 I will pretty much copy and paste from my build thread, and there will be a discussion in a separate thread. Feel free to shoot the shit here about the...

subbed

I wear a pair of Belleville steel toe "jungle" boots. I would really like to get proper riding boots though, like some Gaerne G flows or something.

Lose the Acerbis.

Subbed. I had the pleasure of turning a few bolts in her. GLWB, mike.

Not only is the complete lack of respect ridiculous, but the fact that people can't figure things with the knowledge available makes me lose faith in humanity. Evolution has halted, gentlemen.
