Not perfectly adjusted yet.... but here is the rear fender and tag holder for the Streetfighter. A license plate frame with a built in LED strip for the tag light is on it's way.

And Casper is alive with the transplanted 1297cc engine and the oversize valve head donated by the 95 FJ.  :yahoo: :good2: :gamer:

Casper is completely back together. Now the focus can be on the Streetfighter.

I've always liked the "AHAMAY" decals lol

Maybe SFJ1200?

The graphics are done and shipped.

Received the tag frame with LED tag lights integrated. I went to the tag office and turned all the paperwork in for a new Title and registration. Went with a personalized tag. The total fees were $120.00.
The Billet upper triple clamp needed a bit of trimming to mount the FZ750 ignition switch. The 1st frame item to be cut off is the OEM shock adjustment support. The fuel tank is on for general ideas on where the new subframe will be welded on and where bends will need to be.

Using my Airhawk as a seat template.... a rough idea on the seat positioning and the rough cut tail cowling.

Looking good!

This build is relevant to my interests.  I bought an FJ09 earlier this year and my FJ1200 is wrapped in plastic at the moment.  When I have time I'm going to rebuild the old bike into a streetfighter myself.  Call it an MT-13 and try to use a similar paint scheme as an MT-10.

I have not posted any progress in awhile.
Today I fabricated a frame for the Bug Screen. I have it tack welded in place and mounted the Bug Screen. I used a FJ-09 Double Bubble windscreen. This gives me the option to try some different sizes and shapes.

Next up will be fabricating the rear subframe and gas tank mount.

Working on getting the sub-frame sorted to be welded.

The Tail light, Brake light and turn signals are mounted in the sub-frame.

I cut and bent the tube along the fuel tank and made aft supports. They got Tig welded today.  :yahoo:
Now I can move forward on getting a seat made and electrical component location.

A small amount of progress.... fabricated the mount for the Speedometer/Tachometer unit. Thanks goes to Bob Weymouth for the gear position switch. After much searching for front turn signals that I thought would look good, I found some and they are mounted.
