my cbr streetfighter

[trido1986]

cannot stop laughing ,,,hahahah

[bigsky89]

@trido1986 i bring the lulz.

[badera01]

Here in brazil we call him for "BAGULHO" !

[bigsky89]

@badera01 lol stuff?

[DaftPACman]

how the heck do you attach an exhaust to the swingarm as the arm moves with the suspension?

a flexible exhaust pipe between the muffler and exhaust manifold?

[bigsky89]

@DaftPACman it was like that for a day or two, it just worked on the play in the slipon muffler, it was never meant to stay that way.

[nasalflute]

@DaftPACman first bump he hits will bend that pipe

[bigsky89]

@nasalflute actually i rode it like that a bit, there was enough play between the slipon muffler and the midpipe that it worked. most people dont realize it but when youre actually riding the thing, your swingarm only moves a few inches at the most. it was a temporary solution either way.

[macneil1664]

Have you found a good replacment? I havent.. I have an 89 :) good bike. beats the Ninja of same year. lol

[bigsky89]

@macneil1664 nope, still got her. she looks quite a bit different these days tho, and i dont ride her much as i mostly ride my old kawi chop.

[boostgage]

do you know of any conversion kits for the headlights? for a 89 hurricane cbr i dont care what they look like i just hate the square look on the one i just bought

[bigsky89]

@boostgage this is just a custom made bracket and headlight, headlight is an old one off a scrapped bike i found in a feild, hand fabbed the bracket. i doubt theres any kits, streetfighter stuff is pretty much 90% DIY as far as installs and bracketry.

[davecrouch44]

Very cool ..... looks like the single seat has a rear light, has it ?

[bigsky89]

@davecrouch44 yep, the LED board taken from the inside of a 600rr taillight. that LED board is now the 3rd brake light on my half-ton haha

[bohngw]

Looks nice. I'm turning my 87 cane into a streetfighter and I'm not sure how to do the turn signals. I was thinking about buying fork clamps and doing it that way but how did you do yours? I gotta get some mirrors to and was going to do bar end mirrors but haven't found any yet.

[TheRickRod]

Is not a street fighter. Its a Top Noch Cafe fucking racer!!!

[broden27]

hey man i see you have a custom gauge, would you mind telling me where you found it, and was it easy to install?

[bigsky89]

@broden27 its a "veypor" unit, i bought it at a local bike shop, it was sortof easy to install but didnt work well and after only a few months of use stopped working all together. dont recommend getting one.

[s70glt100]

cool seat mines like straight up and it hurts your nuts

[bigsky89]

yeah, this ones pretty hard on the cojones. i cant even ride it anymore, kills my back, my wrists, my nuts, theres just no point, plus its full of electrical bugs that i cant seem to fix or sort out... not even worth it anymore.

[xplorer110]

yo man ive got the 89 can you tell me where you got ur parts man? thanks

[bigsky89]

everything on this bike is either a reworked stock peice, something off a salvaged bike, or one off custom.  other than that, the best place to get new stock parts is dennis kirk, or your local motorcycle salv yard.

[xjoewhitex]

I was wondering, what did you do with your oil cooler? I noticed its not on your forks.

[bigsky89]

i left the lines, i fabricated a coupler to bolt both lines together end to end, so the cooler lines are the oil cooler now, i figured it was un-necessary considering i pulled 20 pounds of plastic and insulation off the old bitch

[xjoewhitex]

Man this is so freaking awesome this inspires me! Ive got a 87 I picked up yesterday only for this reason.

[bigsky89]

good luck! fun, but challenging!

[xjoewhitex]

I bet, but that was the point needed a winter hobby haha.. So what did you do about the fenders? Where did they come from?

[bigsky89]

the fenders came off an old junker bike i found in a barn, a kawasaki s2. i gotta post an updated vid as well, since this one was already a year old when i posted it lol. its still in progress, but i think i rode it all of three times this year. been too busy with the kwak bobber. when i get some iron out of the yard ill probably do a new set of carbs and an airbox and a front and rear end off a newer bike.

[ryswe]

back seat is fugly imo

[bigsky89]

meh, whole bike is ugly imo but it works

[xjoewhitex]

What back seat? I dont see one lol.

[skozer]

What kind of tach is that???

[bigsky89]

was a veypor unit. it sucked. first time i rode it in the cold it broke lol and it never worked right

[Methodmahan]

Thats sick, i have a 90 and want to make it a steetfighter. Do you have any links or could you let me know where you got the fenders and other parts?

[snyppe1988]

это что за уродство?

[bigsky89]

я не забочусь, как это смотрит. я делаю это этим путем так, чтобы я мог поехать на этом любое время, лето или зима. где я живу, погода - больше резкого колебания чем большинство России.

online translator, i dunno if that came out right.

[RotorDemon]

Nice! Where did you end up hiding all of the wiring? Fusebox ect? I got an '88 Cane and would like to ditch the plastic. Thanks

[bigsky89]

thanks! mentioned it in another video comment box, lol but i ran all of it between the airbox and fuel tank. the fuse box and all the main wiring harnesses are in the tail section, under the seat. beware, ditching all the plastics on a hurricane is enough work for me to safely say make sure its what you REALLY want before you go ahead and do it. be warned, its not pretty under there.

[laxbrenden]

is that muff attached to ur swinger? if it is thats no good u cant do that the swinger moves up and down, exhaust is not made to move

[bigsky89]

original video it was held on by springs, then had it bent up and welded. currently working on underbody muffler.

[TheNorseDragon]

That's an awesome conversion! Maybe I should do the same?

[genie360]

hey thats really cool looking... I'm 'fightering' my zx6r. where'd you get that gage display/ tach?

[hmunoz78]

Do you have a video of your subframe?

[bigsky89]

no i dont, i could make one, ill add an update by the weekend. thanks guys!

[tds94probe]
