Bucko's project R1: Naked Ambition
I'm turning my '04 R1 into a Street Fighter. I've had it since new and had my fun with those awful clip on bars, so a naked was the next step.
To begin with, here is my R1 fully faired. These are the last pics of it with clothes on taken.
I got home from work one night about 11pm and decided it was time to strip the R1 down to see what we have and what needs moving or modifying.
The important thing when working on any motorcycle is to have the right tools for such a job.
By midnight I had the R1 looking like this:
That leaves me with things to do like moving the fuse box from the radiator. It will probably go under the seat.
I will also need to tidy up the looks by hiding other wiring and make the radiator hoses look a little better. Note the coolant leak.
Since then the triple clamp has been modified and Virago bar mounts and some custom risers have been fitted along with MX bars.
I picked up a fender eliminator the other day along with a few other bits including some bar end mirrors.
I've recently moved house, so I need to do some garage sorting and get stuck back into it.
So, as you can see, lots of fun to come yet...

I like what you are aiming at Bucko! Sweet... Looks a bit like my FZ1 but with more zip, yeah?! Awesome, keep swigin' down that JB and coke, it's what I am drinking at the moment, bloody hot down here, 36c today. 25c tonight, can't sleep. Maybe more Jimmies will help, cheers mate, Jumbo
Speed will get you no where.....FAST!
Hmmmm... Well, I like the alien look, but that's just personal. I am with you about the twin headlight look, yuk. There aint much on the market that I know of that would suit. I know my headlight is like it or leave it. You have to get onto something more original....Wait till I am sober Might think of something
