Sorry if this has already been posted, but if not......check it out.

It was on the cover of the new issue of the Robb Report. It uses a Honda RC51 engine and is decked out in all the fancy trimmings...I think it looks pretty cool.

In other news, the same issue gave Triumph a "Achievement in Design" award for the Daytona 675. That was in the company of Kawasaki for the ZX-14, Ducati for the SportClassic, MV Agusta for the Brutale, Honda for the new 600RR and Ecosse Moto for the totally incredible Heretic.

Hate the bodywork and paint on that custom, but I'd love a set of those wheels. The frame is pretty simple and lacking character, and the front end just looks like it was bolted on and doesn't really belong. Its a good starting point, but they need to work out some artistic form/flow issues. I'd like to see a shot of the opposite side of that tubular swingarm though. Thats interesting.

I think the TBS fighter looks a lot cooler. Keep up the good work!

Not too sure if that's an extended swingarm,( would think a SSSA would look better) but the rest is real super super, especially the seat/subframe.

Thanks, it's looking good for a bike that used to be yellow!! :hammer: :-D Once I figure out what all parts I'm going to use it will come together quicker, just picked up a 2004 RC51 swingarm last night that I hope I can make fit and I picked up a Garrett GT-17 turbo last week that I am going to attempt to fit. I am still waiting to buy some of the parts, just got to wait till they are cheap enough on Ebay!! :razz:

That's a brill street fighter design, just that an extended swingarm on a 'fighter would look like skinny tires on a ferrari.
That bike, when ready, could easily make an article in the Brit StreetFighters mag.

It's not an extended swingarm, it's a stock T300 S3 swing arm, same as my S3. It's 3 inches shorter than the TBS swingarm! once you get rid of the huge tail section you can see how big these bikes are. I want shorter but not much because I am putting this motor to the 97 horsepower spec (stock T3 S3) and adding 6psi+ of boost. This should give me in the neighborhood of 140hp+ and 90ftlbs+ if done correctly. I need to put the battery, coolant reservoir and electronics under the seat but i am going to try to keep the tail section as small as possible and the RC51 swingarm will fill in the area so it won't look like I'm going to fit a knobby and try my luck at hillclimbing. I plan on a lot of trophys and features in magazines if it all works out.
