yeah... suprised you didn't point it out.

I do like the satin red on the tank...

OSP digs the tail section on this one a lot. A LOT.

Not ugly but still mean.

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.

OreoGaborio · 01-22-2009, 11:53 AM

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

If you're talking about this bike:

Ok, not quite at Street Fighter, more of a Cafe Racer, but I dig it:

If that was a single and weighed about 300lbs I'd rock it. Not a big fan of the modern/retro big bore cafe thing though.

The SV makes a slick street fighter
