Further pictures as requested. I'm doing another one but undecided on the bodywork. It will have a single sided swingarm and ZX 10R front end. I will be looking to brace the frame and work the engine. This one is lovely and is as I wanted. A perfectly working modified Superhawk/Firestorm. I hate modified bikes that don't work properly. I take my time and get it right (in my opinion) Any views welcome, even if you hate it. I don't mind ☺

Very cool mod's, I like especially the exhaust setup, very narrow and tidy, other then the other things :-)

Thanks for the kind words. The exhaust set up was the hardest part. The rear cylinder pipework snakes under the rear seat to get it the same length as the front cylinder. The bike runs perfectly since that was done. I wanted to keep the bike as slim as possible, it's slimmer than a standard bike.



I have had every nut and electroplated (done myself) and the engine thoroughly checked. I'm very happy with it.

I noticed right away how slim it looks, really nice job.
With such a beautiful VTR, I would make sure the CCT's are replaced to manual as well, just as an insurance policy.
