F to E conversion

[l3uddha]

I'm toying with the idea of the F to E conversion for my 2004; or something similar to it.

The look of the upper faring has just really been bugging me the past few days 

I think the side farings look great & I'd like to keep them, but the front (that holds the headlight) is just so friggin HUGE. It's completly disproportionate to the rest of the bike...

I dunno... I've been thinking of cutting it down some so the front of the bike doesn't stick up so high compared to even the tail which is raised some w/ a GSX-R shock... I've been thinking of ditching the farings altogether....

I really do like the side faring though & how the paint (sticker  ) desigh flows into the tank.
& I'd hate to have to spend money on a new headlight assembly for something dumb like this...



hmmm..... maybe I'll just try cutting it down some... which will probably turn into a nightmare.

oh well...

opinions??

Headlights are cheap.

im sure theres lots of people on here that would be intrested in buying your fairings if you decided to go that route.  so cost really isn't an issue, you could prolly sell each piece individually on aby an get several hundred out of them all.

Mine pre-headlight.  I haven't taken good pictures with the light on it.

I haven't even sold half of my fairings and I'm up to $160 profit.  You can look to make at least $300 total by selling everything if its all in good shape.  I'm getting $100 for the headlight alone.

My bike looks mean now.  With the fairings I felt like I was trying too hard to look like a big boy.  I felt like a poser.

Don't let anyone tell you wind is an issue.  I just got back from an 85 mile cruise at 75-85 mph and the wind didn't bother me one bit.  You'll get more wind on your legs and lower chest but it isn't a big deal.

Turd, you need to get some lower handlebars, then you will the baddest looking of all GSes.

[Turd Ferguson]

Thanks bro.  I've been wanting some clubman bars...but I can't handle the chrome.  I gotsta have black!

-El Turd.

**EDIT**  Wait...you've just described Alpha's bike.  His bike looks exactly like mine (minus the rear wheel/tire...but that's coming soon) and he has many more mods including SM2 bars.  Give the man some credit!

More recent (albeit not as good):










Turd - you need some different grips, SM2s, some new pegs, maybe some case guards.

Ugh. I can't wait to get me some Pilot Powers.

[Turd Ferguson]

Are you glad that I convinced you to remove the sticker on the rear plastics?  I hated that thing.  Your bike looks SOOPA clean!

-Turd.

Im surprised you sold the fairings and light. In case you ever decide to resell it

[l3uddha]

I plan on totalling mine

Yeah, i'm in the same boat as Wrecent. That's why i'm trying to get someone with a black 05 to swap tails.



Yeah, i know it's probably not gonna happen...

Damn Brian.. your bike looks awesome..

Oh yes, I'm in the same boat as Wrecent_Wryder as well.. damn!

[Alphamazing]

Damn Brian.. your bike looks awesome..

I should hope so. I put a lot of time into it, though the money part not so much. I am the bargain KING!
