Superhawks make good street fighters too, just gotta find a way to make the rads not so ugly when you get rid of the plastics.

Red frame looks money. Drewpy was tellin' me that they make a kit for the RC that mounts the radiator in front of the forks... That would be coolio...

I'd like to see more pictures of that thing...

I'm sure you've seen this one before but I love it.

Not ugly but still mean.

It's kinda ugly... very tough and mean looking though. Badass...

This is another classic fighter that gets around...


I like Russell Mitchel's take too...

If the tank on the Exile Cycles bike was a little longer and slimmer, I'd fucking love it.

Yeah, the profile just doesn't flow that well... I think he could have fabbed something a little more low-pro that came down over the engine in the front a bit... covering that frame gap.

vtwin... "trellis" frame... linear mounted rear shock.... radial caliper on one side, conventional caliper on the other (looks like they swapped forks (and exhaust) between pics).... What bike is that? MZ1000 maybe?

It's a TLS.

The forks are different in the different pics. If you look closely you can see the can was changed too.

The bike was / is in a constant state of evolution.

There is a whole thread on his build here: http://www.customfighters.com/forums...ead.php?t=3881

Edit: apparently you noticed the exhaust.

how did I not know that? It's painfully obvious now that you tell me. I forgot what the TLS frame looked like & the direct mounted shock (or whatever you wanna call it) threw me off, I was thinking the TLS got the rotary like the TLR (did it?), but even if it did it coulda been switched out for a standard.


EDIT: PS, I like my "factory fighter", even IF some don't consider it a true fighter
