No way would I molest a classic blade like that... the early ones are somewhat a defining shape, the way the rest of the bike jap bikes went. Sure a 5 years ago I'd have considered hacking one up, but now, they're getting a bit thin on the ground.

I love the fairings but hate the arse on it.Go for it at the very least you can keep the oem ones and put them back on when time to sell.

Two weeks pass. I see two bikes with side boobs on KB.

Good designers are worth their weight in gold. That has been confirmed by the rise of the motorcycling side boob.

Who does that to a bike? sure they are hardly beautiful at the best of times but that is as ugly as a hatfullofarseholes.

I don't really like it. I have always liked my bikes the way it came out of the factory floor. The only time I would put aftermarket fairings is if I was building a project bike.

RG100's RS125 might end up looking like that in the near future

His first reaction was, "That looks good", so you've definitely struck a chord. I'm old. All I see is low clip ons and a sore neck.

It looks like a stranded catfish, it isn't a streetfighter and since when were there varying degrees of unique?

Don't forget to check out that republic, then lose the fairings.
