    Oh My, be interesting to hear how what the engine temp is, as I know the faring directs the air sideways through the radiators. LOL your missing a front fender.. Good job.

    ...Opinions are like ear holes, everybody has one.
    At first glance I thought the radiator hose was a crash cage. IMO...lol, Naked street fighters look better when they are armored to the hilt with frame sliders, fork spools, and a crash cage. :cool:
    Headlights give it an evil Short Circuit Johnny5 thing... (not a bad thing either)
    Overall, I give it :thumbsup:

    Not my cup of tea, but still nicely done IMO. I dig the headlights and flyscreen. Any idea how much weight was chopped from the bike?

    Also, I'm with punisher - take off the c-stand and lose a little more weight, and make the bike look that much meaner.

    Has anyone even done the streetfighter thing with a 5th or 6th gen and removed the radiators? Just curious whether it can be done, and what the effects would be. :confused: I think it would vastly improve the looks of a nekkid VFR.

    Well, that ain't your grandaddy's VFR, that's for sure.
    There are a few fighter projects on the forum now. Cooling seems to be the biggest issue. I would be interested to see the temps during the summer.

    not my cup of tea either but props for your effort...

    I think that you might do away with the cooling problems that are gonna happen...if you move the radiator around to the front .........of course this is my opinion ....

    Looking good. Dig the fighters something feirce. I think if it was me, I would try some kind of air scoop on the rads. Kinda like the Buell 1125's, for cooling and maybe some protection. For a streetfighter the center stand is kinda not working fot me. I'd think about chopping off the mounts for the passenger pegs & blacking out the header. But over-all I like it. Well done.
