2000 Buell Cyclone - Next Street Fighter Chop Build

This here is the next project to soon go under the knife in the Rusty Knuckles laboratory. Ultimately the bike will stay relatively the same but the look will be altered in the utmost way. The bike handles like a dream and will make you feel like you are pullin' g's when you drop it into curves, but changing a few lines and breathing new life into it as a choppified street fighter will turn some heads. Going to fabricate a new swing arm assembly that doubles as the oil tank, create a new slim line gas tank holding about 2 gallons of gas, whole new rear section to slim it up and lower stance and finally a whole new front fairing/gauge dash mount. That's it for the custom parts, then add in new part additions and this will be a killer street fighter/chop. Hopefully I can create the time to have it done before the Smokeout next June but with a lot of managing tour dates coming up for Crank County Daredevils and Rusty Knuckles at chop shows its going to be a tough deadline. Will post the sketches for the build soon...
