The motor chosen for this project was a 124CI S & S mill with VFI (variable fuel injection). Wiring the bike was quite a chore. Between the sensors, fuel pump, lights, and gauges, more than 700 feet of wire was used to complete this project. Bear that in mind when we tell you that it fired on the very first attempt!
With all of the wiring that was required on this bike, it was almost impossible to hide it all and still leave access for possible maintenance later on. Anyone who rides customs knows you have to give them lots of TLC to keep them in top-notch running condition. However, wires hanging from the downtube to the center of the intake are very unsightly. To ensure that none of this would take away from the bike's flow, SMCC hand-fabricated decorative side covers that could be easily removed to access the sensors and cables in this area. The covers were molded, painted, and pinstriped to complement the rest of the bike's theme.
SMCC designed and CNC-machined the BDL belt cover in a tribal layout, which adds a few more radial points to the left side of the bike. They also machined out the Stinger "S" logo in the side and mounted one of the four Varod lights in between the pulleys of the BDL. For added show they placed yellow Lexan behind the "S" so that when the lights are activated, the "S" logo will light up on the BDL unit.
Stinger has created a very unique theme bike that one of their lucky and loyal salesman will win. Showing in the Stinger/Peripheral booth at this season's SEMA Show in November and returning to Las Vegas for the CES show in early January, Stinger will begin the "King of Sting" promotion for 2006. The bike will be awarded to the Stinger salesman who sells the most Stinger product at a retail level. With a value exceeding $60,000, this contest bike is sure to excite and motivate Stinger's account base.
