What to do with that old Hurricane in the garage

Take one old CBR 1000 + some sheet metal = a pretty interesting ride

I'm not into custom bikes, but I have to say I'm quite frankly impressed with what you have created.  Excellent work.

The only work I put into that bike was surfing the web during lunch at work and finding the pictures.  Whoever built that bike has a lot more spare time than I do.

I don't care for the "fenders", but the rest is pretty sweet.  I can appreciate the work that went into it.

Really, really, really great work

Cool work - lots of time.

I'm not sure about the spirley pipe inners - that is something I have never seam before.

I'm also surprised they did not upgrade the wheels and rotors...

You really CAN polish a turd!

Good job, whoever you are!

Its all show and not go.  

I prefer the "asphalt" original.  But then I've always thought those big ol 'Canes were cool.

Love it!
It warms the heart to see a true custom – not ordered from a catalog and bolted on.

My favorite touch is the giant fake frame spars.

Funny, I was trying to think of a way to say how much I don't like form that doesn't follow function, in some cases anyway. I don't like it when, for instance, Kawasaki adds some plastic bits to make a frame look like something it's not - I don't like it here either. But I like the way it looks despite all that.

I just want that headlight for my naked Bandit.
