Fairly sure i've seen this identical thread about 6 months before.

General opinion was it looks shite, and why did you do it?

No not identical.....a lot of the opinions expressed before were about putting straight bars and a bellypan on....just thought i would update everyone.

I did it (*sigh* ) because i love the performance of sportsbikes but dont particularly dig the sporty look.

From a distance it was OK but the fairings and rear cowl were really poor quality painting. I kept the Green and gold cause it was different and i liked it, but apart from the tank it was a crap finish.

You've ruined it!


You've made a top of the range superbike look like a cheap, chavved up Bandit. Especially from the front - hideous. There are ways to do this properly if you really don't want fairings/clipons:

And if it's not worth doing properly, then you'd have been far better off just keeping the full fairing and original looks. Or buying a Hornet 900

£180 but that included an extended clutch cable, risers and hel front lines. I could've bodged it with a drill but i wanted it to look nice.

I like it apart from the lights. Maybe get a bigger single headlight?
