    The naked option looks okay, probably would be better if the lower fairing looked less like a lower fairing and more like a belly pan.

    What about indicimators?

    Street fightes need dual headlights or a GSXR K style headlight or they just look gay

    I think that this here looks better than that second option.

    That's not a tough one....I'd stay with the fairing. A GPX is not exactly 'mean' enough for the streetfighter look.
    Do you realise how many holes there could be if people would just take the time to take the dirt out of them?

    i cant beleive you even asked. seems really obvious to me. Fairings all the way. The other looks like you just stacked it and can't be arsed putting it back together.

    Damn i want a bike to use as a "street Fighter".

    I want a ZZR250, as they have those COOL twin chrome mufflers!!

    BTW, unless you get a propper Street fighter headlight, stay with the fairing.
