I can has StreetFighter? was created by greesemonkee
I just want to start by saying thanks. A weird intro I know but this site has given me a vast amount of information and inspired me to start my own “streetfighter”. So, Thanks…
With that out of the way, I was hoping for some help on my project. Any suggestions and constructive criticism would be appreciated.

I started with just a frame and want to build the bike to road race (doesn't necessarily have to be competitive). I also want to keep the bike all Kawasaki.
I think the right forum would be "Projects" or "Chassis". However, I can't figure out why my pictures won't show up.

My major concern right now is the rear shock. I want to get it mounted in such a way that even after sag my intended rake stays true. I don't mind putting a damper on it but I don't want it to ride like a grocery cart.So, knowing that I'm not perfect, I'm trying to make the rear upper shock mount capable of being shimmed. That would give me a rear ride hieght adjustment seperate from preload.
After locating the rear mount and getting it reinforced, I'll continue with lightening and gussetts.

Thanks for your positive feedback.

it has a stout looking adjustable upper clevis for a upper mount.might have to have one custom machined but would be worth it in the "long run".
