I'd like it a lot more if it was black... I kinda dig the black frame, but as much as I hate to admit it, all that black might be too much... all gloss black offers no depth... paint that frame a graphite color and rock the shit out of the all black... Oh, and that front fender has to go... It's fuckin' ginormous...

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.

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.
