I was intending to post, even before your admission.....

"Streetfighter" is Topgun-speak for "crashed bike, rebuilt on the cheap"

Al :D


If I am ever on life support - Unplug me......
Then plug me back in..........

See if that works .....

Ok if were all getting things out in the open & most the lads know anyway that i didn't fighter mine a mate had bought it already fightered & i fell in love with it , i've done a fair bit of work putting the wiring right & it had to have new forks as it'd been down the road & i found out one was bent & they'd had all the anodizing polished off them .

Haha have I started an honesty thread without intending too? LOL

I still have the old forks with ktech internals that I wanted to fit into my current forks but I changed the seals and completely forgot...

Welcome in dawes, nowt wrong with a bike thats been crashed, at least you know what was wrong with it rather than riding round on something someones botched up in their shed and hid the damage.

Jompy I cant believe you took the credit for your bike, lol, honesty is the best policy, guys any more skeletons in the closet?
