Street fighter look You mean something like this: eBay Motors: HEADLIGHT DOMINATOR TWIN DUAL SV650 919 STREETFIGHTER (item 370084759362 end time Sep-14-08 19:33:53 PDT) Turn signals can be added to the brackets you'll fab to hold the lights. Larry
OK, so I'm naive, but what exactly is a street fighter? I've seen some photos on this site, but that's about it. Is it simply a stripped down bike, void of any "plastics"? Or is there more too it than that? Is there a purpose for creating one, such as clubs or competitions?
I may be wrong I think Buell used it as a marketing term. Now it has become associated with de-faired bikes.
Not Buell No, the term streetfighter had to do with bikes that were crashed; and instead of making them pretty again they were stripped of all or most plastic and were made to work with little to no frills. Usually a rough de-fairing version of a streetbike. Very popular in Europe where the cafe racer also showed it's head decades ago. No advantages unless you count not having to deal with broken body panels, and or looking rough and mean.
