Some more specs on the streetfighter: Front rad: aftermarket austin mini (no fan). Copper pipe runs to an aux rad under the seat, made from the heater core from my wrecked Cadillac. Wheels have been polished around the rims, and painted metallic copper inside that. I tried doing the engine case covers in copper flake, but it's not holding up very well, so I'll have to paint them. The swingarm has been polished and modified with extensions, as well as modified to hold the battery inside. The tank has been shortened to facilitate the new tailsection. The subframe for the tail was made out of aluminum, and the main frame modified to not have the stupid vulcan ear type projections to hold the subframe. The main frame is about half way to being fully polished, but that's on hold until the new chopper is all buttoned down! The bodywork for the tail was taken from one of those little 50cc chinese made mini sportbikes. I split it down the middle, added about an inch in width and length (and strengthened it) with fiberglass. Picked up some dirtbike bark busters and wired in some signal lights to them to keep the local authorities at bay. Modified the peg mounts to accept bear trap bicycle pedals.
