`Streetfighter` R1........Finished (`err i think!!)

[thenylongag]

That engine is some sweet work my friend and i'm loving the body work

I love street fighters but you don't see many in the US, the latest craze is cafe racers and the usual harleys of course.

Lui............thanks buddy, these conversion style builds always seem to end up looking like a dogs dinner at some point, hopefully all will come good in the end

Tony.........thank you too fella , didn`t realise the `cafe racer` was popular over there..........Harleys you expect to be!!!!, if i had enough cash i`d soon give my Suzuki a new look thats for sure

Thanks again guys

[`Boots`]

Whooop.......happy days, the supply run is less than 24 hrs , i gotta full half bottle of `Ski waiting for me for tomoz night........i`m gonna look forward to that i tell ya!!

[`Boots`]

Must admit.......tis about time i did catch up wiz yas all, be nice to be able to get to something this year!!.........fa ferks sake!!

[wbill76]

Looking good Boots, don't worry about competing with the HD...this one stands on its own just fine!

[Keith Christie]

Great progress Mark, it's all coming together very nicely indeed.

Best Regards

Keith

[`Boots`]

Thank ya very much indeed Bill and Keith ....................once i start colouring it in properly it should all start to come together and look a bit more respectable ...........the early stages are always the messiest/scariest

[`Boots`]

I must stop visualising these things Dicky ((LOL))...........you stocked up yet

[danb.]

Great work Boots that stand with yer sub assemblies looks ferkin ace i must say im a fan of that engine looks so real

Dan B

[`Boots`]

Thanks Dan..............yeah the stand gradually gets updated with little bits `n` bobs every now and then, it`s very handy for checking stance and alignment without having to keep laying ya chin on the bench ((LOL)).................thanks for the compliment on the engine fella........still gotta way to go on it yet tho

[robbo]

Coming along a treat buddy, can't wait to see the colour going on, will this be happening soonish mate?

[`Boots`]

Dicky...........yeah i know.............more chins than the Hong Kong phone directory

Robbo...........cheers mucka, as for paint............was hoping to get some done this weekend but the weather is gonna be pants, might not be able to prime now coz i need to do that outside

Ok a quick mock up of how things stand.............i`m about 80% done with the chopperizing stuff but there is still some alterations to do!!

Here we are at the mo.............may even have to re-do the `donk`...........too much handling has left a few issues, no biggie tho!!









It`s kinda taking shape of a `Streetie` now

Thanks as always guys

[Mence]

Excellent mate, I think you've got the overall look bang on.

Keep it up!

[`Boots`]

Dicky..........ta me `ol muckwa, might need to shorten that bottom cowl tho coz it is a bit close to the rear wheel now that the back end has been raised...........no big deal tho

Prof..........thanks fella, this will probably be the last mock up now coz handling is becoming very delicate!!!

Maybe i`ll paint it and send it to Streetfighter magazine `eh ((LOL))

Cheers guys
