Well there is no point posting a thread about a standard bike?

Fair enough if he wanted help with something or advice Middle Finger Laughing

Leaving it standard...no.

Putting back to standard as much as I can.. possibly.

Changing it to look more presentable. Yes. Laughing

I probably have a bolt that'll fit. What's the length and thread?

So that's, what, 20-25mm length? Should have something that'll do it.

Im also confused about the major hate... if its 'constructive critisism' then you should point out the things that would make the bike look better, rather then hate on the things you believe to be done wrong. IMO anyway Shocked

A lot of it has to do with the fact that this was originally entitled "My turbo'd streetfighter Z750"
Other than that, it's just that it fulfils every single negative stereotype of a bad streetfighter job, apart from the raised tail (which hasn't happened yet, so maybe there's some hope).

First of all I never seriously called my bike a street fighter and it never will be Neutral

If this is "constructive critisism" then you'll explain to me what these negative stereotypes are and how I can improve my bike without ruining it but without it being standard?? Neutral

Well, for starters, don't go listing it as a thing that it isn't. We'd have probably left you alone if you hadn't put up the initial title.
Secondly, having a kwak in a washed-out green is just plain wrong.
Thirdly, monster stickers are almost as bad as '46' stickers on a 125.
Finally, that headlight is pony, and will have the worst light pattern in history, thus rendering it utterly useless, and probably quite dangerous.
I personally don't like the lurid hoses either, but to each their own. The knuckle duster cutouts that you were on about are the most retardedly crass thing that you can stick on a bike, and make the rider come across as an unoriginal spanner.
Also, for the sake of definitions, it's not a streetfighter: it started life as a naked bike, and the mods weren't to repair potentially expensive fairing damage. It's a modded naked bike. Call it what it is; if you're going to use an exciting title to attract viewers, don't do it when BCF's resident bastards are all in chat at the same time, or you'll end up with a response like you did.

Well the title was a joke, I didn't think everyone would take it so seriously Neutral....

The paint wasn't my choice....well it was but it looks a lot different on a piece of card then on the bike, I actually wanted the original kawak green but was convinced too change it up a bit since I was gettin it sprayed anyway....

Thirdly the monster thing was kind of a joke,, I didn't seriously put it on because it looked good....in fact if there's one thing I hate its people covering shit in monster stickers but it's long gone now soo anyways....

And the headlight...as I said...Im not a massive fan of but the standard one is HUGE and I didn't like it + it's heavier then it looks which does affect handling....and is purely temporary till I find one I like....suggestions maybe??

I wanted to upgrade the hoses because my brakes where pony and I thought I'd color code them...bad idea maybe? But I like color coding.

The knuckleduster cut outs are injector protectors....I thought it was a funny idea at the time but have realised what I've done! New original ones in their way...

And can we please stop using the word "street fighter" because my bike isn't one and I never seriously suggested it was...end of.

Aaah, the beauty of the written word being taken the wrong way. Another time you want something to be taken as a joke, why not write (joke) in brackets...or add a laughing emoticon...that way it will come across as intended.

HTH the textually inept. Wink Thumbs Up
