How to Build a Pro Streetbike

Description

Whether it's a big-bore, high-end custom sports bike you are after or a naked, bare-knuckle street-fighting racer, this is the book to get you there. With three different projects, top motorcycle builders give blow-by-blow instructions for completely rebuilding three popular street bikes, from performance modifications, exhaust systems, to flawless chrome finishes! Focusing on a Hayabuse drag bike - including a slammed and lowered Suzuki GSX1300R Hayabusa - suspension, engine and finish modifications are outlined for the serious street rider and course races. This will be an invaluable guide to anyone who has a four-cylinder street machine, and wants to transform it into the type of machine that professional racers, stunt riders and street riders favor.
