The Story of my Suzuki RF600R
I have loved the look of streetfighter motorcycles and that was the intention when I originally bought this 1994 Suzuki RF. Not the most popular bike in this part of the world but makes it that much more original as a fighter.
As soon as it was out of the truck things started coming apart.
With the big headlight fairing off I needed to do something with the gauges. So a couple pieces of bent metal and some hose clamps I had them mounted to the top triple tree.
Then the first headlight setup. which didn't last too long.
Then time for a tail upgrade. Something a little smaller and modern.
First mock up
Then Cutting
Then fitment again
Then Weld it up
Take some pictures and admire the new tail
A tad better than this
Every fighter needs a flat black spray bomb paint job at one time in its life.
And some pinstriping
Then out came the tools to shorten up the stock muffler.
I wanted a new headlight so this is what I got.
It needed something to cover up the thermostat housing on the side. So I made these.
Also mounted my temperature gauge in the left one.
Covers painted black, Lettered and signal lights mounted
Thats all for now. Check back later for updates.
