Monkey Streetfighter

When I 1st saw this I thought this is a nice custom streetfighter, then only I noticed the small and fat tire, then only I found out it is actually a custom Honda Monkey. Great job.

Streetfighter or not?

Please don't argue with me whether all these bikes are streetfighter. If they are not, they are definitely heavily influence by it.

Streetfighter!

A streetfighter is a customized sport bike with the removal of the fairing for a lighter and more aggressive look. It was made popular by European riders in the 80s, and now all over the world. It also affected the motorcycle manufacturers with factory built street fighters.

I like the industrial and nakedness of a streetfighter. If you read about my Photoshop Custom post, that's a streefighter/bobber hybrid bike I like.

BA Ducati Monster S2R-1000

Here is a superb Ducati Monster mod by an artist - Celli, found in Ducati Monster Forum.
He likes the nakedness of the Monster but had modified his 2006 S2R-1000 into a more naked bike with many carbon fiber custom parts. The headlight is what inspired me on my photoshopped custom Dragstar/V-Star 650.

Photoshop Custom - Dragstar/V-Star 650

I like Dragstar/V-Star 650, I'll start a series of Photoshop customization to it whenever I can find some spare time.

I like the riding position of a cruiser and the style of a streetfighter, so the best way to get one is by modifying a cruiser into a street fighter. This is something I like to see happened to a Dragstar/V-Star 650 if I had one and if budget and parts are available.

Before

The mods are.

1. Lower the front fender.
2. Customize a narrower and less roundish fuel tank.
3. Change to a pullback riser with a narrow drag bar with bar end mirrors.
4. Speedometer relocate to the handlebar.
5. Change the headlight to a vertical dual headlight.
6. Cut the back portion of the frame to reveal the shock.
7. Remove the battery cover and customized the battery compartment to a more industrial look.
8. Modified and heat wrapped the exhaust into a sportier one.
9. Change the seat to a solo seat held by a leaf spring.
10. Change the back fender to a bobber fender.
11. Build a frame to hold a curve license plate at the back of the wheel.
12. Change the rims to five spoke sport rims.
13. Spray most of the parts into flat black except the engine and the upper fork.

This is actually the same bike shown in the masthead with slightly different color scheme.

Stock Bike Sucks?

We all like custom bike, but there are a few cool bike out there that I love which I'll ride it stock if I had one.

The 1st one is Confederate Hellcat f131 Combat

Description taken from their website.

"The Hellcat Combat is presented as a limited edition variant of the second and final generation of the Hellcat series. The Combat features a design specific hand ported and polished head design, special camshaft grind, returned intake system, which harmoniously result in a 12% gain in rear wheel horsepower and a 4% increase in rear wheel torque. Front and rear camshaft compression and rebound suspension rates are recalculated for superior handling, more detailed feedback and increased ride control.

A new sport seat and Combat specific finish completes the machine. The result is an exotic balance of power and beauty. A discreet "Combat" insignia is engraved on the outer primary machined aircraft-grade aluminun plate."
