looks good.............. but i have never quite understood what a streetfighter is?

is it just a matter of putting moto-x type bars on it?

edit: not that im saying thats all you have done, i see the headlight and forks have been changed too (and probaly a lot more)

Different swingarm too. Doesn't look like a 180 rear though.

shes taken the last two winters to do and i've always been to scared to really add up what i've spent but probably about 2 grand in all..?(fleabay!!!) and countless hours lying on my garage floor with a ruler, paper and pencil measuring things 4 or 5 times..!!! luckily had a good mate to help and a couple of people i know who are good with a lathe and milling machine...

In olden days to make a streetfighter you take a sportsbike and lob it down the road at high speed. Then you see the price of plastics, so it get's left naked.

The old gixxers had twin lamps under the plastic, so that's where that look came from.

I'd say a streetfighter is any highly modified bike, with performance mods rather than just bling crap bolted on.

gotta get ready for work now guys but will write a full list of mods and post tonight for anyone interested..
got a lot of info and ideas from this forum and just wanted to show a few sv minded folk what i've done and say cheers...
