I really wish you would have painted the radiator and fabricated and relocated the coolant overflow. I just did it, and you wouldnt believe how easy it is, and how much it adds to the overall look.
I just stumbled across your channel. I followed your xs chopper build on xs650.com (or chop cult ?). I also think I sold you the donor swingarm pivot for your turbo xs. I started my motorcycle life on a brand new '03 zx6-r. To this day it is still probably the favorite bike I've ever owned. I was rear ended on it which totaled it, but I bought it back, fixed it, and ran it street fighter for a while before refitting the body work. I should have never sold it, but the early years of marriage and prepping for kids made me think I needed the money. Lesson learned. Don't ever sell a bike if you don't absolutely need to. That might be why I've got multiple bikes in the garage now. :) Looks like your channel hasn't had much activity for a while, but I subscribed and look forward to any new content you decide to share.
Right on man, good to hear from you! I too have learned that lesson about selling bikes when you dont have to 😄. Channel is definitely on haitus right now, we moved down to Texas and I'm building a shop currently. Hoping to get the channel going again once the shop is up and running. Thanks for the support 👍
I crashed my zx6r 2009 and did a build too. You gotta crashed it to fight it. LoL. Not really no rules to it, right? You're right about having a supportive wife. It's amazing. I'm glad to be one of the first few hundreds subscribers. I'll be watching. Good job with your build. I like it.
Really enjoyed this! I appreciate your chatting, not a lot of commentary on traffic and what cars are doing around you/road rage, makes it relaxing. What is that Suzuki you showed at the beginning?? I'm really interested in that GS project.
Thanks for positive comments Carter! The Suzuki GS850 is my café project. I have a couple other videos up about it, I believe I have a playlist with those videos under the café build playlist. Now that my streetfighter is done I'll be getting back to working on the café bike. Hope to have it together in the next few months, but look forward to lots of update videos on it throughout that time. Thanks for watching!
Are you based in oregon? I am. I have a 2007 ZX6R a friend sold me real cheap(its pretty thrashed) and I would love to street fighter it! Im curious what headlight you used and how you secured the dash cluster? -Wyatt
Yessir I am indeed in Oregon. The headlight is a Chinese repro of a Ducati streetfighter, with a real Ducati headlight surround. The cluster mount I made from scratch.
Hey I really enjoyed your videos. I really like that you're doing motovlogs. Not to be a nitpick, but you're audio could improve on them. left speaker was just putting out squeaks and mumbles. Besides from that I could hear you really well. I really like what you're all about with your builds. Currently I'm working on a 1979 gs 550, I tossed the tank for a 80's Honda Sabre's and I'm making a custom seat. Next thing I plan is to get some euro drag bars and new gauges. I most definitely want to get rid of the original dummy lights with a custom led light strip. But before I do that I need to figure out why it's not running right. It starts and idles fine, but if I give it throttle it bogs down and dies.
Thanks for the input man! I'm still new at this stuff so I can definitely improve on the audio visual stuff, I'll see what I can do to make it better. As far as your bike goes you're most likely looking at a carb issue. Most of the time what you see is older bikes sit for a long period of time, and the jets get clogged up with old fuel. so then you open the throttle, and all this extra air is coming in but no extra fuel to match it and the engine dies. It's a thought anyway. Usually the first thing I do with an old bike is pull the carbs and go through them and make sure everything is clean. You don't always have to buy a carb rebuild kit either, just pull the carb apart and clean everything that you can. A tip though, don't disassemble all the carbs at the same time, keep at least one of them complete so you can reference how everything goes back together. I'm thinking of doing a video showing just that. Thanks for watching!
Vinyl wrap it like your lid ,Matt black with yellow pin stripe detailing,very cool nice job 👍🏻🥷❤️🔥

Anytime I don't have a ridding season. I'm including this video in my watch list to get a fix.
Enjoy the channel! Thanks

Thanks for your support man I appreciate it! I think that's truly what I love most about building bikes, no rules at all.

This video is a few years old now. I'm actually going to redesign the bike again to a completely new style!
