Streetfighter Motorcycle News

I have a new problem with my swinger swap. The z1000 shock is too long to fit with the vfr swingarm / triangle. Also, the hole where the shock passes through is too far forward. I might be able to use a really short shock… but the kickstand mount would still be in the way - don’t really want to move it either. The other idea that I have is to mount the shock outboard of the swingarm. It would take some pretty crazy linkage, but I think it would work. Here is a picture of where the shock would be. I’m really open to ideas at this point also.

What about an air strut? Mount it at an angle from the swingarm to the lower frame brace. Then mount the tank through the swingarm. Anybody have expirience with air suspension? I ride the bike hard… how would this setup be for wheelies and shit?

Hey guys, as much as i HATE and dont want to do this, i need to sell my bike…

2002 kawi zx9r
has approx 18k miles, dont have the stock speedo anymore but i know its definitely not over that.

last year i had the bike re-jetted with a factory pro jet kit from Tommy D (checked flag cycles), while he was in there i had him check my valves and he said everything was right to the manufacturers spec. this thing runs like a beast, very mechanically sound. always ran fully synthetic 10w-40 and changed it every 1500-2000 miles. the bike does have a couple cosmetic flaws unfortunetly, there is a small dent in the tank (i can explain the story if your really interested), the front fender has a bunch of spider cracks, and the tail has some boot marks from the previous owner. this bike has NEVER been down though, i will promise ya that. I only fightered it because i love the look of naked sport bikes and i love to actually have something different from everyone else, its what makes it mine…anyways off to the goodies…

Hello all

i’ve been lurking here for a bit, getting ideas and learning about fighters

I’ve been riding for about 6 years now, mostly on my dad’s classic BMW air heads (a ‘71 /5), but just bought a bike for myself. A ‘92 FZR 600 for tooling around campus and the local canyons

i bought it with the fairings banged up a bit, so i tore them off the first day, but i’m still waiting on some headlight ideas to get rid of the cowling around the stock headlights

i’ve also gotten rid of the under seat plastic, along with the rear fender and turn signals have been replaced with LED’s. Bar end mirrors have been ordered too, should be in soon

i generally know my way around cars and a shop, and i’m not afraid to chop shit off, so this fighter project should be pretty fun

any recommendation on a cheap, but fairly good headlight? My college budget can’t have me spending too terribly much
