Cutting into a Kan-A-Tuna

Really not gonna be a true Streetfighter. No proformance mod's, frame mods, Just a simple, clean, nakid bike.

Here is where I started. It's a friend of a friend's wife bike. the guy gave it to her after getting a BlackBird 1100 and spent the last few years basshing up this Kat. Poorly maintained, ugly paint, dropped, bent and JB welded parts... list goes on.

He want's it ready for his wife to ride in a few weeks and I'm a retard so I tell him I can do something with it. This guy just beats up bikes but I got to meet his wife, I broke it down to her, told her about the streetfighter concempt and she was all in. She just wanted to keep it on the mild side and leave it a 2 up bike.

Here's where I went...

new head light & gauge mount.

Cleaned up and in paint. I got some small covers to build this weekend as well as a few simple things. I THINK it looks better...

With the execption of the chain, sprockets and rear brake parts (that the owner did not get to me this weekend) my work is done. Side covers built, mirrors on,wired up & all back together. Done! Only been 4 weekends, but it felt longer.

Damn I need to give you my bike over a winter to give it a little TLC. I love when you post up your project always looks great.

You should! The bikes look even better in person, and the ride/drive up is a good time!
