hawk vtr naked/streetfighter build ireland
howdy , gonna start a thread on a build im undertaking at the mo , hope its of some intrest ! 
hoping it wont go on too long (expecting a month or so i can catch a bit of weather ) assuming we might get some this year 
..
i bought a heavily modified naked style firestorm a couple of months ago , bike seemed like a good buy but had no history so a bit of a gamble .
running (i was told )
moriwaki pistons/cams flowed heads, full micron system, fuel pump ,aftermarket programmable ignition, modified airbox/carbs and close ratio gearbox.
(im guessin its ex track ..)
put a few miles on just to make sure everything seemed ok , and happy out, its nuts
not everybody is gonna like the style this bike is headed , dont ye know some fkrs just have to be different
and some people are going to prefer it before i chop it up !!!
i believe the bike was sold on ebay in the uk , i than bought it in nortern ireland , currently in dublin

good luck with your build. the top picture looks a bit un balanced. kind of like a girl that is 5 foot tall with a a size cup and a 38 inch waist. put some **** on this bike the *** is to big. lol

It'd sure look nicer than the rusty oil lines & ferrules mine currently sports !
Be good to see it when it's done. I'm in NI, near Dromore.

I spotted this 'fighter today on another VTR board. This solves the ugly radiator problem quite well ....

a friend living up that way collected it for me .
yep its some job alright im afraid ive no info on the work done regarding the lines etc , but ill take some pictures of the layout in case its any help !!! ill have a look for brandnames etc on the cooler , maybe the guy that done the origonal work will turn up somewhere, that set up (oil lines/cooler) would also be perfect if doing a single rad set up

its all been done by the looks of it , im gonna stick in an ebc kevlar clutch and hd springs , and check the valve clearances this week all going well ..
how does that front end work out on your bike? , does it quicken up the steering an a lot? , im worried about making the steerin very quick because ive left nowhere for a damper !!
nice ride btw !!

it still has the stock CCTs.
The front end is nice. To be honest I probably don't ride hard enough to make full use of it. But it sure smoothed things out and added confidence in the corners.
I'd say that going to the allballz head bearings probably quickened the steering up more than changing the front end did. (I kept the same steering head to axle distance as stock)
You can't put a rotary damper on top of the triple? I will be putting on one mine, but mostly because I got it off ebay cheap.

they (ccts) look stock but all the bolts have been changed and im an optimist
(or stupid)
ill look more closely at the front end set up / relation ship to the frame on my stock bike , because i took this frontend complete from a earlyblade ,
and the forks look pretty close to the top hose
might have been wise to check it all out first , ah im sure itll be fine ,,,,
it will add to the riding experiance !!
