One-of-a-kind GSX-R 1100 Oil Boiler
In the following weeks, we will present you some of the most remarkable Custom Streetfighter motorcycles that were hand-built by some extraordinary people. The Streetfighter Saga continues!
When talking about building stuff or DIY projects, the motorcycle world has a lot to offer. Some of these unique creatures called motorcyclists are pretty skilled when handling a TIG welder, using a lathe, or programming a CNC. To admire the results of their hard work you just need to dig through tons of websites on the internet. Some of them will amaze you with their high levels of craftsmanship and attention to details.
The same goes for the folks on the CustomFighters forum. I remember joining this forum several years ago and being stunned by what I found. I was amazed by the huge number of custom builds, it was incredible! I was like the new kid on the block that finds hundreds of other friendly kids and a huge playground. On this forum, there are some custom builds that make the big brands feel modest as far as details and innovative solutions are concerned.
Streetfighters – The Evil Inside
The first bike in this series is one that caught my attention when I landed on the forum, many years ago. This custom fighter is based on a 1993 GSX-R1100 M, and it was built by a member called ScorchFrame. What is special about this bike is that it has a one-of-a-kind 38-mm round steel tube frame that was hand crafted. Think about the amount of knowledge and fabricating skills you need to possess to create a motorcycle frame from ground-up. The color picked for the frame was the KTM orange color. Along with the deep black used on the gas tank and tail cowl, it really makes this fighter stand out. Also, the mirror-polished swing arm, engine side covers, and exhaust headers add a cool bling factor to this project. It has that "Get the f*ck outta my way!" attitude every streetfighter should have.
