What is everyone using for photos these days? still photobucket?
MC22 streetfighter / cafe fighter
Hey everyone and welcome 
I haven't been on this site since my last mc22 was stolen in early 2013.
Its good to be back!
So recently picked up an MC22 that was a little worse for wear.... and when I say a little, I mean ALOT.
(have to work out the photo situation)
Anyway, this is a thread of my build as it goes. I've decided to go streetfighter influenced for something different. My last bike was finished with the Tyga T8 kit and I loved it, however, why make the same thing thing twice?
So, as I said, this will be streetfighter, cafefighter influenced, so if you're not into that kind of thing I guess you can just leave instead of telling me I should have returned it to factory. That shit is boring!
This build will not happen overnight, so don't get your pants twisted.
I'd love to show you a photo of what it will look like when its done, but nothing I've found really matched it.
Suggestions and ideas most welcome. Enjoy

Cafe fighter?
I'd prefer a cafe racer 250RR, but hey,
it'll be interesting to see this completed.
Good luck with your build, keep us posted
At its current stage, the bike looks really good.

Thanks mate, ill keep you guys up to date as much as possible. I'm not really sure what to call it to be honest. I've taken influences from alot of different things, however when I think cafe racer I tend to think this kinda of thing.

Thanks mate
the tank hasnt been painted yet, so dont get used to the red id love to tell you what colour it will be, but thats a suprise The wire mesh is an idea to fill the gap between frame and tank, as I wont have a front guard or ducting vents. Like I said, bear with me... :s
Always scary when your trying to get an idea from your head into real life.. I hope it all comes out at least half as good as I imagine!
As always stay tuned. Some exciting pieces are in the mail
few more photos

So its been almost a month and a little bit has changed. Got my tail, and paint done, wiring almost complete, and front guard on. New front tyre, and little bits here and there. The photos aren't great, but you'll get the idea. I've only had the chance to work on this at night so havn't taken any good daytime photos. enjoy
