overnight...i decided i didnt like fairings.

cyclops headlight...and universal rear section are on their way.

f4i handlebars equipped.

 

I would go as far as to say you may hate them.

 

just the beginning =]

 

It is an interesting task to fighter a VFR. They do not naturally lend to the transformation. Good luck.

 

+1 on that. Want to see the end result.:thumbsup:

 

a true fighter is actually modifying your bodywork to a custom shape. im just taking off her clothes and slimming down. ;]

my universal healight works. universal tail light works.

 

the worst bike to fighter is the Katana. The frame is wider than the tank and leaves a horrible gap.

I dont think that looks terrible other than the radiators....


those wheels would look great on my RWB..jealous

 

already did...

while it had me pinned on the pavement sliding 40mph... :frown:

 

and the truth comes out....thats why you "decided you didnt like fairings eh?

BTW, who made your midpipe and exhaust? I'm thinking of doing something custom as well.

 

I am interested to see the outcome. Fairings are cool until you drop the bike. Then they are just expensive!

 

I personally LOVE Street Fighter bikes. I beleive they are built in the tradition of old Harley bobber chops & and stipped down cafe racers. I'm truely a beleiver in the "I don't need this part" mindset. I gotta stand behind drewl and TOE on this one. The Gen 6 is one of those bikes that will fight you every step of the way. Ain't like stripping down a CBR. Not to say I don't wanna see what you come up with! I realy want to see what you do with for the radiators. Good luck on this build. I'm sure she will ask for more blood from you knuckles on durring her transformation. That's the price we pay when we decide to undertake these tasks. So far it's seems like you have a good plan. Go forth and do great things!:thumbsup:

 

I must admit - I think it looks better with fairings. That said, with some effort the streetfighter look might work on it. I'd like to see more pictures!

 

i'm with drewl, and, he said it in a more politically correct manner than i ever could have.

 

Not all naked VFR's look horrible; it just depends on how much work you are willing to do. I'll be interested to see how yours turns out.

 

You may have to figure out a way to channel more air through the radiators.

 

That or coinsder swapping them out with a front mounted. Like the one in surfers pic. Seen it done before on fighters with the dual rads.

 

Do you think you will upset the cooling air flow, not having the fairings on? Just wondering

Cheers
John.

 

not a bit... your bike without fairings is just a lighter less areodynamic form of its former self.

 

Makes sence, I'd fab up some kind of guards or cages around them. JIC. I would'nt wanna be replacing a punctured rad im my kickstand faid or something like that.

 

got any photos of the front/gauges?
