Craig's "NEW" Fighter

Home

County Bikes

 This bike replaces his previous "fighter" which was written off last summer (2011) by some prat who rear ended him when Craig stopped at a pedestrian crossing, and with out further ado here it is.

So first off the whole plot is powered down the queens highway by Mr Yamaha's , built for the street hooligan, FJ1200 engine. These and its closely related capacity brothers are getting harder to source as they are the engine of choice for many of the Legend racers. ( http://www.legendsracinguk.com )

Trying to get anywhere on just an engine just isn't going to work! you need other bits such as wheels suspension (unless your a total masochist), steering ect and something to hold them all together, the some thing in this case is at totally custom built frame with the headstock at a 23° rake.

Attached to the afore mentioned headstock is a set of upside downie forks liberated from an Aprilia Tueno held in place by some ally slab yokes.

The wheels and brakes are from the donor fj

The rear susspension and swing arm where kindly donated or more likely ruthlessly snatched by Mr gas axe or Mr grinder from a kawasaki ZX7R

Front and rear illumination and the blinky blinky bits are taken care of by various combinations of l.e.d.

Lookin at this bike even at rest it looks like it has just gone to warp speed.
