I'm making my bike into a streetfighter.

Here is what it looks like so far





I would like it to turn out similar to








My main questions are, where to source parts? I'm focusing on the front end right now. 5" round light, gauges, turn signals, etc. And how to paint the exhaust, engine block, rad, etc. Heat resistant paint?

Any other easy mods I can do?


Other questions
How to combine the 2 exhausts into 1?
How to replace the back tire with larger tire and different swing arm?


And most importantly, has anone done this? Any pictures?

Advice needed.

Parts -> look on ebay / older bikes / parts catalogues - you won't find bolt on parts = try to source universal parts.

Exhaust - powercoat with high temp powder - it will last a while or cheap-o high temp engine paint will do too..

Sure! That depends on your tastes etc...

Custom fab or look for kits

How to replace the back tire with larger tire and different swing arm?

Not that easy, you'll need dimensions of your swin arm etc. to source bearings / bushings / spacers. Then machine a larger swing arm to fit.

I'm using aztec8 dual 5 3/4" lights, they're good ****. Available with a mounting kit for varying fork tube sizes. http://www.aztec8.com/

Swing arm swap / new rear wheel = too much pain/effort for minimal/no/reverse benefits.
