The sumo the beginning

This is (was) my sisters bike, a 93 Honda CBR 600F. Heavy, scratchy and clunky, but its still a bike.. One of the previous owners changed all the fairings with fiberglass ones, but it really wasnt a good job...

So, I started to "add lightness" removing, as usual,  fairings and seat and adding a solo seat from a Triumph Thruxton Cup kit

Then Ive made some experiments with "fine" Potoshop actions....

Here with my favourite pin-up model...

Then comes the 70s fairing, a classic cone exhaust and a single "sided" headlamp from a speed triple

Looking good, but still too modern.. Lets find out another 70s goodie

 Needs some adjustments..

Here we go! 

Now its time to dismantle the bike to the bare frame and start "THE SUMO" project
Continue...sooner or later
