Streetfigher or Stock?

Offtopic, but why can't you get the hang of posting polls Dan? You want radio buttons, not check boxes

Why isn't there a 'Neither' option?

Get a mod to put it on


If you're selling the bike, I suggest streetfightering it for now to keep those nice looking fairings somewhere safe. Don't know when a car may back into it or the stand fails due to a gust of wind (both happened within a week of me owning my nice, shiny, and professionally painted VFR. Never going to buy a nice condition bike again)

Oh no, I voted "Streetfighter" before seeing the subject bike pic! Big mistake! Keep it stock, methinks in hindsight.

Yeah I am usually a big fan of streetfighters, but sorry little dude thats one is pretty fugly!

Keep it stock in this case IMO.

When are you going to post the picture of the streetfighter?

Crashing a bike and taking the fairings off doesn't make it a streetfighter

[McJim]

If you're lending the bike to a friend I would put the gnatty scratched and faded fairings back on and then put the nice shiny ones on for the sale.

I have to agree with Imdying here though in saying without the fairings it doesn't look street fighter...it just lookes crashed.

I know the streetfighter concept was born from the cost of new fairings after a bin but to do it properly would need an investment of time and effort in getting a nice headlight and cleaning up all the nasty dirty bits usually hidden by the teapot exterior of the GSXF.

The frame is too utilitarian for a SF too. Nice alloy or tubular steel trellis frames work well visually but the box section frame just looks like the fairings are missing.

Sorry Dan. Keep it covered.

Keep that ugliness covered!!

I wouldnt street fighter it. People would question as to weather it was binned or not.

However, if you were going to street fighter it you have to do it properly, which means more investment in the bike. Chances are what extra you put in you wont get back.
