VR and Bike combo

Figured I'd post up a few pics. I've been building this bike for the past few months for a buildoff on customfighters.com and just today noticed how the color combo matched between the car and bike. Bikes not done yet, but its getting real close.

Oh, just a suggestion. I think a Street Fighter headlight assembly would complete the look.

Whats funny is I had an acerbis cyclops headlight, and opted for this one instead. Its off an sv650 and I made the windscreen. I wanted a kind of rabid cafe-fighter look.

Well, it started out as a 96 Honda CBR 600. I designed 2/3's of the tank from sheetmetal, an 05 600rr rear swingarm with custom linkage, 05 600rr inverted forks, 600rr wheels with a 190 wide back tire, custom subframe built by me with a custom undertail exhaust, shortened 2-Bros carbon fiber exhaust can with custom exhaust tips made from 79 trans am tips, custom seat pan(not done yet) with custom sheetmetal seat cowl, relocated ignition to subframe and push button start to motor mount, sv650 headlight with sheetmetal windscreen, vortex clipons, and a bit more. But that's the just of it, haha.

Great job! I read your build up thread at customfighters.com and it was cool to see how it developed. I can not believe how much you accomplished in the mud room

Now I need you to paint my trunk
