sprint 900 streetfighter

as you can see from my profile pic I'm in the middle of a streetfighter type build,but it's a tight budget and I'm determined to get it to look right before it rolls on the tarmac this year then throw some money at it next winter so a lot of the stuff on the list will come from china etc.
but Today I won a set of aero bar end mirrors from "3 pistons" running at about £70
with that sort of luck I can now go for the sigma 6 jet kit and save messing around with different jets and trial and error
I'll post pics when the postie has been

 

cheers DD I'll try & post up some more pics over the weekend

like this one I had while I lived in Germany

 

Ok bike started out as 900 sprint sport,one owner,exhaust studs stripped and stuck in,lots of stuff held on with cable ties and gaffa tape,Dunlop qualifier on the back,maxxis on the front etc. etc.

 

A strip down was in order and a mock up began

 

First thing I did was out with the studs,used a nut extractor and an impact driver with plenty of shock and unlock soaking overnight

 

A quick dusting of red oxide and a plan was emerging

 

Sometimes with a build like this there is a lot of fabrication to do and side panels are not easy to get right,and this ain't right but luckily I have a lot of lino floor tiles for templates

 

With a bit more work I think this will work nicely

 

start up after 3 years a sigma6 jet kit and a lot of white vinegar to clean the tank out well pleased https://1drv.ms/v/s!AmPBIHz903-Ch1OSySMXINGOIWzY now to search for tyres

 

New levers fitted,bit naughty but I like them

 

It's an optical illusion they aren't as sharp as they look,I,ve been using them on the meanstreak for years

 

Don't panic they come with their own gloves

 

Oh well,so much for the euphoria,looks like I have a sticky float so carbs off again lol

 

Sticky float sorted,paint back from the paint shop,well my shed anyway...just tyres and front muddy now

 

front muddy ready for paint

 

Just the tyres to go

 

Found a new use for a Triumph tank rack..it will come in handy for the rallies
