My TLS Streetfighter

Whoa, I didn't know a TL could actually end up nice looking.

Good job!

deftones156 · 07-11-2007, 02:39 PM

Cool ride, man! Are those 10R rims on there?

Is it a lot lighter now that it's stripped down?

I'll say with certainty that I'd never be able to ID that on the street!

Shenders1 · 07-11-2007, 02:56 PM

Very nicely done. You've obviously put a lot of work into that puppy.

Looks sort of 'SuperDuke'y - Which is a good thing, at least in my opinion.

XSIVSPD · 07-11-2007, 03:18 PM

sweet bike... i never knew a TL could look that nice

Rims are V-Star by Carrozerria, it weighs 355lbs now

I was going to say those wheels looked VERY familiar.
That is by far the nicest looking TL I've seen.

phobe · 07-11-2007, 11:03 PM

Very B-A.

Nice.

seamus · 07-11-2007, 11:11 PM

Damn, Sully. That's a nice looking ride.

How much of the welding and 'glass work on the rear did you do yourself? It looks like a lot of hours were spent lining everything up perfectly and getting the welds all pretty.

Great work.

Great work.

The fiberglass tail came from a german site and just took alittle modding to make it work with the bike then the subframe was designed around it. The subframe was welded by a friend who builds Foes Racing downhill bikes for a living, I did all the designing, measuring, cutting and fitting of all the parts. My bud then tig'd it all together. It took about 40hrs. to design and fab. everything. The headlight took another 30hrs. to make fit well and to mod the overall shape.

luvtolean · 07-11-2007, 11:35 PM

Your friend builds Foes' frames? What kinda hook up you guys got?

There's a pun in here somewhere... I'm sure Dave will exploit it.

CBRVFR · 07-12-2007, 12:07 AM

Be my guest...

phobe · 07-12-2007, 12:14 AM

No, I insist. Puns and alliteration are your forte.

luvtolean · 07-12-2007, 12:27 AM

Are you guys fighting over who gets to have a go at me?

Damn, that's sexy.

Bagger · 07-12-2007, 09:19 AM

I have to say I'm not a big Suzuki fan but that bike is just killer now... great buildup...

He is independant of Foes, he just does the welding for them but he
might have a hook up i'll check into it for you!
