If the owner had better vision, he should have bought a S4R dark to start with. Would have saved him a lot more time and money. :)
Title: Re: Kawasaki Versys Streetfighter Post by: Vindingo on June 01, 2009, 08:42:35 AM pretty bad ass looking. I love when people use rain slicks on street bikes. The look so fking cool.
Powder coat the spring black and it's are finished... Title: Re: Kawasaki Versys Streetfighter Post by: Porsche Monkey on June 01, 2009, 08:58:15 AM Very nice, indeed.

Looks like he just took a bunch of stuff of, added a headlight, an exhaust, and a bunch of flat black rattle can. Its alright I guess, in a kawasaki kind of way.

Powder coat the spring black and it's are finished... I kinda like the spring as it is. If it were black the whole center section of the bike would be a clustermake the beast with two backs of different shades/textures of black, but as it is the spring pops. I actually like that a lot. I looked (fleetingly) at the Versys before I bought the Duc but it was basically the aesthetics that pushed me away. At the same time though, I've seen some people do some pretty sweet things with SV650/1000s, adn they're not riding around on Kawis :). Title: Re: Kawasaki Versys Streetfighter Post by: Grrrly on June 01, 2009, 12:28:24 PM I can certainly dig that!! Job very well done [thumbsup]
BTW that doesn't look like a rattle can paint job to me. There's several hints of copper? color which ties into the spring which isn't the stock color either. Travman, do you have any more info on that bike? Title: Re: Kawasaki Versys Streetfighter Post by: Mike_D on June 01, 2009, 01:17:06 PM I kinda like the spring as it is.

I agree with you, although the bike would really pop if the wheels were the same copper color as the spring, or at least copper-colored wheel stripes. JMHO. Title: Re: Kawasaki Versys Streetfighter Post by: Speedbag on June 01, 2009, 02:32:41 PM I dig it. [thumbsup]

Jumbo shrimp!Title: Re: Kawasaki Versys Streetfighter Post by: Mash on June 02, 2009, 07:32:39 AM Are those rain slicks, or are they flat track tires? I've been wanting to build a super moto around a set of those tires.

It would pull the front off in the rain. When it dried out, they lasted less than 800 miles.
That is a pretty cool bike. No flash, all business. Very nice work. Title: Re: Kawasaki Versys Streetfighter Post by: Scottish on June 02, 2009, 07:52:22 PM Awesome builds! [bow_down]
Title: Re: Kawasaki Versys Streetfighter Post by: MadDuck on June 03, 2009, 11:09:14 PM Rain slick? Isn't that a contradiction of terms?
Title: Re: Kawasaki Versys Streetfighter Post by: redial on June 04, 2009, 06:25:47 AM that versys is pretty amazing. kawa should use it as marketing. would have made me at least take a look if i knew that was possible
