Mats VRS#10063 is the front fender made by Low and Mean as well? I’ve heard mixed things about fitment of that fender with the stock 130/70 in the front. Any input? Thanks!
Men... that is the meanest mean streak have ever seen. got the VZ 1600, pretty much same bike but Suzuki. Been crazy finding pieces. I'm from Spain. Please where did you find the radiator underneath cover like sports bikes has. 1 year searching the internet and no luck. Thanks. Good job with that beast.
Thanks alot Christian! Yeah, they are the exact same bikes exept for the headlight and the rear fender :) so all the meanie parts fits the marauder aswell =) that is the Low And Mean front spoiler, i bought it at a local custom shop.

Can you please link to where you got the handle bars, risers, and cable kit? I’m trying to put apes on mine right now and those are exactly what I’m looking for
Hey Nate. I got the handle bars from ebay, they are called DNA Monsterbars. 1.5 inch handlebar, except for the riser and controls area wich are still 1" so everything fits. ( I went for the 14inch handlebars.) The risers i just took some random from ebay aswell. The cablekit i got from meancycles.com. They have meanstreak apehanger kits that fit different size handlebars.

Hi. I put a 180 on it...stock was 170 i believe. A friend put a 190 on his and it worked but was cutting it close. I know of people that put 200s on aswell but then i think you have to dent the swingarm on the insides to eliminate the tyre from rubbing.
I Have a 04 1500 Classic. I dont know if there is a different swingarm/driveshaft setup or not but I have a 150 on mine as what is recommended and want to get some more meat on it. Noone can give a straight answer and seems like noone has done it before and can remember. Thanks for the reply. Nice bike @@Dynaolsson
Hi there. It's me again. What primer did you use for the hard-plastic parts? I used plastic primer but it all comes off when wet-sanding. I'm thinking about using 2K epoxy primer; the same one I use for the metal parts. Will that do the job, you think?
angel sanchez it was easy. 2 screws on the back to crack the housing open, then just pull the pins straight out (i used a fork as kind of a crowbar). Then the gaguefaces sits with 4 screws i believe. Also the front part sits with like 8 small philipshead screws, to remove the glass part.
Hej! Köpte ett lika dant styre, När jag skulle montera reglagen så fanns det inte plats för hela handtaget då styret var för tjockt där jag egentligen ville sätta reglagen. Var det samma för dig? Mina handtag sticker ut ca 2 cm utanför styrgreppet nu. MVH

Very nice build. I have question about rear fender. Is it modified stock fender or completely different one? I have meany and this winter I will do lot of changes to it.
How did you get the turn, neutral, and hi beam indicator lights off of the face of the ignition panel? I’m trying to swap out the neutral and hi beam lights with buttons on my 08 Mean Streak but can’t figure out how to remove the stock indication lights... I don’t want to mess them up be pulling on the rubber backing too hard and can’t get the chrome ring around the light to budge if that it hoe you remove them... some info would be much appreciated if you don’t mind.

Hello. My name is Tycho and I'm about to do a similar project on my 2003 1500 Mean Streak. Your project is an inspiration for me. I do have some questions: Where did you buy the front, rear and chin fenders? And your air filter? All the best from Holland
Hi Tycho. The fenders are called "low and mean" and you can buy them from various dealers. The air filter was mounted on the bike when i bought it, but i think it was a kuryakin one? Not sure. Good luck with your build.
Tjena. Kommer inte ihåg vad det hette. Var många år sedan den hojen försvann nu 😁 köpte det från usa iallafall via amazon har jag för mig. Fat bar 14" tror jag det hette, kan ha svarat på det mer exakt i någon annan kommentar här under. Fick byta hydraulslangarna iallafall vet jag.
Tjenare! Riktigt grymt bygge du har gjort här! Håller på o bygger om min Mean Streak 1500cc nu över vintern också och har letat som en tok efter en liknade nummerskyltshållare. Får man fråga vart du hittade den där? Kollat Ebay men hittar bara med inkluderat bromsljus.
Hi Mats, is it the original rear fender? Did you weld the hole from the tail light? And which shocks do you install, looks deeper than original. Last Question - which Footrest system did you installed?
Hey David. The fender is not original, it is the low and mean manufactured rear fender in fiberglass. The shocks are lower edition progressive ones, and the footrests are forward pegs by Mapam 😁
Tackar Zdravko. Skärmarna är low and mean, dem skickade jag efter hos MTL Custom i Mönsterås. Instrumentpanelen tillverkade jag själv av en aluminiumplåt och ledlampor från ebay. Bromsljuset är integrerat i baklysena/blinkers 😁👍🏻 Ha det fint. Mvh Mats.
Hey ShoNuffDC, the bars are called DNA Monster handlebar 1.5". i bought mine via ebay from USA. i bought the 14" version of the handlebar, plus used 1" risers. the electrics i had to solder a bit to get them long enough, and the hoses i had to change, i bought an "apehanger kit" from Meancycles.com Really nice service from the ladies and gents there. Good luck with your build!
No problems, I do not own that bike anymore, I went for a KTM instead 😮😊 but just give me a holler if you have any questions down the road, and good luck to you on your build. Have an awesome day, sir.
I love your handle bars. what size are they? was it difficult doing the cables? is it somthing I can do myself? thanks for all your help your a real inspiration for us do it yourselfers
Thank you for the kind words Steve. They are 14" apehangers, mounted on 1" risers. I had to extend the electrics a few inches, so just cut them and extend/solder them, and put them in a new sleeve and you're good to go. For the hydraulics, i ordered an apehanger extensionkit and just bolted it on. Then ofc new liquids and bleeding the brakes. You can do this yourself, not a real biggie 😁
@@Dynaolsson thanks for the info. just curious. beyond looking great do you like the performance of the ape bars? I love the drag bars but my back hurts after a while from leaning forward. Im 5 10 so I think your bars would help but do they give up control of steering? also what brand did your get? I looked up ape bars and there are many brands. riser too. thanks again for your help, I really appreciate it a lot. Steve
@@jondough44 I also experienced backpain with the dragbar after a bit longer outings (i'm 187cm), and that went away 100% using the apes. with the apes I did not experience any loss of control at all TBH, it's still flickable in the turns. the only thing i noticed, was when standing still and doing the full turn, i barely reached the handle, (whilst parking) but while on the move i just experienced positives. The Brand i went with for the handlebar is called DNA Monsterbar, and i bought it from Ebay. Risers i just used a random 1" pair, but with the screws on the underside of the riser (mostly to get rid of visible rust on the screws after rain or whatever.) Have an awesome day, Steve.
@@Dynaolsson sorry to bother you but I only see 1 1/2 inch in your style did you get the 1 inch which I read is the needed diameter on the mean streak.
Nicholas Voshall , thank's man 👍 The only thing i painted is the controlpanel i made, and the orange on the brakes. Otherwise i left the rest to the pro's. I designed the colorscheme myself in photoshop and left them with an image of how i wanted it to look. (Kind of hard finding a scheme that is not "too much, nor too little" balancewise.) The orange is from a ford RS model, and is called Electric Orange.
Nice job. Did you do the paint yourself? How much of it was made yourself? Or was it mostly just buying custom aftermarket 3rd party parts and bolting them on?
I designed the paintscheme in photoshop and gave a picture and the tank/fenders etc to a professional. "This is how i want it look" Then bought aftermarket parts that matched the vision i had in my head of how i wanted the bike to look. Then slapped it together, so no fabrication of parts of my own, except for the led conversion/ indicator panel.
Absolutely amazing work! The bike is pure sex. I am in the process of purchasing a meanie with similar hangers. The mirrors that are on it are tiny and I can't see anything. How well do the mirrors you have function? Could I trouble you for the name of them and where you purchased them? Thanks.
Hey Joseph. Thanks alot and good luck with your purchase. The mirrors works flawlessly without vibrations etc. Sizewise there are no problems and i get a nice sightpicture in them. I bought mine from ebay, but i found some on amazon via google. www.amazon.com/Krator-Diamond-Universal-Motorcycle-Mirrors/dp/B00C309P2O Ride safe.
@@Dynaolsson thanks for the info man. I ended up getting the meanie and I love it. The mirrors have worked well for me and look great on my bike. I hope yours is still going strong.

It’s beautiful man! Did you do the paint job yourself? What sort of paint did you use?
Nicholas Voshall , thank's man 👍
The only thing i painted is the controlpanel i made, and the orange on the brakes. Otherwise i left the rest to the pro's.
I designed the colorscheme myself in photoshop and left them with an image of how i wanted it to look.
(Kind of hard finding a scheme that is not "too much, nor too little" balancewise.)
The orange is from a ford RS model, and is called Electric Orange.
Nice job. Did you do the paint yourself?
How much of it was made yourself?
Or was it mostly just buying custom aftermarket 3rd party parts and bolting them on?
I designed the paintscheme in photoshop and gave a picture and the tank/fenders etc to a professional. "This is how i want it look"
Then bought aftermarket parts that matched the vision i had in my head of how i wanted the bike to look.
Then slapped it together, so no fabrication of parts of my own, except for the led conversion/ indicator panel.
Absolutely amazing work! The bike is pure sex.
I am in the process of purchasing a meanie with similar hangers. The mirrors that are on it are tiny and I can't see anything.
How well do the mirrors you have function? Could I trouble you for the name of them and where you purchased them?
Thanks.
Hey Joseph.
Thanks alot and good luck with your purchase.
The mirrors works flawlessly without vibrations etc. Sizewise there are no problems and i get a nice sightpicture in them.
I bought mine from ebay, but i found some on amazon via google.

Ride safe.
@@Dynaolsson thanks for the info man. I ended up getting the meanie and I love it. The mirrors have worked well for me and look great on my bike. I hope yours is still going strong.
Hey.

Snyggt jobb Mats! Mvh #11100
