 | Dr. Stein grows "funny creatures" Well..... Now loopys back in work I can seriously think about my next project...... and although "Thundergod" is still in progress it's mainly tweaking I'm gunna do and I need summut else to tinker with and over the last few days I have been putting some thought into this...... First I've been thinking about what type of Fighter I wanna build?.....  .....& every fibre of me is screaming buy a labcoat, hire an Egor, lock yourself in a ramshackled mountaintop castle and build a MONSTER  But not I'm not thinking something like Mary Shelleys sad misunderstood creature. think more, the cartooney reprisentation of said beast* and in the spirit of Dr. Stein I intend to reuse "bodyparts**", make it bigger and better,then running from the pitchfork wielding yokels when it all goes wrong *I want to keep a sence of fun **the things I really like about Thundergod

| Re: Dr. Stein grows "funny creatures" If you want to make it bigger and better than Thundergod, why not use her as a base and make her into the Ultimate Thundergod...?

... no she's good and I happy with the way she turned out......but I want my next creation to be BIGGER/FREAKIER  the gixxer is quite skinny and I'm thinking a bigger broader base like the 900rr

| Re: Dr. Stein grows "funny creatures" The ZX12R does look mean Not sure I would keep the paint work if I did.The 750SS is only about 10 mins from where I live... Are you hoping to achieve something in mind or just starting and seeing how it turns out? Are you looking to build from scratch or complete someones on-going project "your way"? Engine rebuilds? I wouldn't know where to start...

| Re: Dr. Stein grows "funny creatures" Way to go Bob! I'm very happy I chose the 900rr as a base for my fighter. I'm finally diggin' into my Blade again (V-Rod light/ mount, relocation ignition switch, new undertail, rear tail brackets, etc.) so it seems we will be posting updates to same model at same time. If you've not seen thread for a while, re-visit this: An Amazing Build in Progress - Down Unda There's a link to Jonathan's complete build log and I think he's done a great job. Also wanted to let you know I caught your pic and bike in the latest issue of Custom Fighters Mag. Nice one!

| Re: Dr. Stein grows "funny creatures" Bob, Perhaps Adam can post the cropped image of you/ Thundergod from his issue #3. Jonathan -- the dude who build the Aussie bike -- mentioned that he wouldn't do the SSSA if he had to do it again. I think the SSSA looks really cool, but it's heavier than the stock SA which also looks good in my opinion. Can't wait to see what you do man.

| Re: Dr. Stein grows "funny creatures" hmmmm... I sat on the new bike yesterday and I am on the balls of feet... So thats fine She didn't seem heavy... I must be used to a bikes weight between my legs now With her being fightered the bars will be higher, which will cut out the difficulty I have with reaching the bars easily (short body + big tank = Loopy not reaching properly) ... Sorted Which means......... I'll be able to ride this one when she's finished
