jtarkany Streetfighter Revealed...Finally!!!

[jtarkany]

Awesome ride and great sound!!
Plate looks awfully close to hugger.. it's not gonna bottom out on it, is it?

Thanks and no, the plate wont hit the hugger there is about a 4" gap there and only about 1.5" of travel, suspension is stiff

I been waiten to hear that twin glass plus headers! You pulled that off! It sounds Great! Looks like the seat angle came out BETTER than Yama'rs design too!

Sweet intro and I love your forward thinking! Let us know how it rides an all that once you get some time on it!

Again, you have my vote! :thumbup: :thumbup:

PS - resuming Winders, seeing your thread come up ALL WHILE a song cued which I thought was part or "YOUR" bikes theme was this:

Nice! I like it :thumbup:

just like van gogh was a superb painter, jtarkany is a superb machinist! what a great piece of art and engineering.

Well done!! Your skills are insane...looks like a forward thinking concept bike come to life. The powder coat paint contrasts are killer. How challenging was the swingarm? Crazy good man crazy good:thumbup:

Dude...I am speechless. That thing is f*cking bad @$$!!

How does she ride??

 

[iSteve]

Being old I always smile when someone says they modded their bike by changing hand grips or levers or changing the air filter. I think next time someone starts a thread like "modded my bike with a tank sticker" a picture of your bike should immediately be posted.

Job well done.

Sweeeeeeeeeet, as usual for you, very nice work. Personally I am not a fan of the whole street fighter thingy. However the bike looks great.
Just one thing mate, ATGATT.

The swingarm is a piece of cake, direct bolt on, however, the suspension is another matter, it is centered rather than off to the side and requires new mounting points for the shock. I tried to show in the pictures the new top mounting point that I incorporated into the new subframe as well as the bottom, dog bone mounting point that I added to the cross brace. You also need to use the R6 rear brake and mount, as the mounting bracket is different from the FZ6 as well as the R6 rear disc.

Dude...I am speechless. That thing is f*cking bad @$$!!

How does she ride??

The ride and handling are very similar to stock, the minor differences are that it drops into the corners quicker because the R1 forks are about an inch shorter which drops the front of the bike down an inch and changes the geometery of the bike. In addition the R6 rear suspension is stiffer, I'm thinking about trying to find a softer coil spring, but for now I'm very pleased with the ride.

You did a great job! She looks mean and sound great. Like the idea of twin exhaust can.

Any tough about exhaust wrap? Mostly for looks...

Real nice bike...

Thanks, yes wrapping the exhaust has crossed my mind, still on the fence though.

I think that would put the "Final Touch". Kind of a Cafe Racer/Streetfighter looks!

With or without your ride still look BAD A$$!!! :rockon:

Badass looking bike! Did Michelin say it was ok to mount the front wheel backwards? :spank:
