If you want a more concise readout of the build-in-progress, goto www.customfighters.com, under streetfighter buildoff 2008, look for my build discussion...it's all there...

Murder that ish - rattle can and then replace the budweiser can on the tool box with a micro brew bottle - maybe Cinder Cone Red :yes:. I might also goi with black rims as well. Rock on :thumbup:

Im hopefully gonna be doing some tattoo trade for powder coating and that was my idea, was black on the rims...

Hey Rod, I still have those carbon rods if you want them.

Put 3 cyl. type headlights of different sizes mounted asymetrically. Either motogp shorty, maybe slash cut the exhaust or tweak the rear of the system up at least to the angle of the tail piece. Paint the bike more the color of the frame, everyone has a black street fighter. Powder coat the wheels something bright/obnoxious: poison green, floresent yellow, orange, red., maybe a burnt orange. Paint the calipers/valve covers (anything thats gold) the same color as your wheels.
Youre a tattoo artist right? Can you airbrush? here's an idea paint it like diamond plate the whole thing, if thats to hard paint it like aluminum square panels (think wwII fighter plane), with some soot and maybe a peeled edge or two

Don't touch that Kerker pipe!!!!! Nothing says streetfighter like a vintage, non baffled 4-into-1!!!

Sorry Mike, that's been done. Very popular with street customs and Nopi style cars.
What about Rust color......Soots good, moss color in the creases? There are actually cars here that have moss and algea growing in the rain gutters and creases. Too rat bike? Or did we want to go for the BLInG paint job?

How about all one color dark what ever and some areas that appear to be peeling and revealing scales or muscle or some other animalistic thing?

:2cents: :idunno:

[Thasick1]

well, Im sticking with a black and grey-ish silver paint scheme, to keep things simple and low cost...as far as graphics, there'll be one broken in half set of brass knuckles on each side of the gas cap, and on the helmet...I'm not lookin to draw attention to this bike when it comes to that, because my riding may do that already...

have moss and algea growing
SWAMP THING!! SWAMP FIGHTER!! :rad: forget that there arent any swamps here but we do have wetlands and those are close enough.
make it like something youve never seen before. go your own way.. :2cents:
swamp thing would have red leds and look murky. and your black powder coat would work with this theme. tear it up.

Maybe, but not on a fighter. Anyway he was asking for ideas, so I gave him some.

Although it now seems he already has his vision so the thread is a little pointless. Do it up Rob, then show us your work.

Do it up Rob, then show us your work.I was mainly talking about modification ideas, not necessarily paint jobs...mechanical modifications...

[Rashmaster13]

My bad

[roadrunner]

mine too

[FJMam]

don't know enough mechanical so went with the paint thing.

Good luck Rob!

[Thasick1]

Thanks!

stainless lines for the brakes...could paint the inner part of ( where they bolt on ) the rotors red...like rat rod style- I know you wanted mechanical ideas but it came to mind sence I was on brakes hahaha um... You could find another kerky pipe and build a custom under tail with dual, And I have an idea for baffleing that invovles a trip to brooks auto and vw's hahaha. Could get a set of heel gaurds made to look like a set of brass knuckles...Make one headlight fog and one white.... velocity stacks for the carbs... run it a bit rich so you can cause it to blow flames when you want...
