Since I got the TL1000 I have been thinking about turning my recently crashed and revived GS into a more streetfighter style bike.
What I'm thinking:
Inspiration for color theme:
(http://www.tonker.com/images/products/hjc_cl_14_smoke.jpg)
-matte black sheet metal and plastics maybe with smoke gray accents.
-matte smoke Gray frame and swingarm
-buell type fly screen
-exhaust I'm not sure on.
-short signals
-twin headlights (maybe buell) Maybe mounted with one of these as a headlight bucket(if so fly screen is gone)
(http://i18.ebayimg.com/02/i/03/48/07/db_1_b.JPG)
-some sort of lower fairing
Anybody got any suggestions, pictures for inspiration.
Just a thought for the moment, but would be a fun project to tackle.

I like. What kind of headlights are those?
I also like this headlight fly screen combo. Minus the clear blue color.

mine are not from buell, they're just aftermarket headlight from shin yo
fits without too much hassle, you'll have to find a way to hide your wiring though and the rpm/tach cables are in the way so i just made 2 brackets to put the headlight another 1.5 cm futher in front
anyway my bike changes by the day, so when its close to being finidhed i'll show you what i got, taking pics now makes no sence

I kinda like the "brush guard" feature on the buell lights. Wonder how hard they would be to mount.

regarding that brush guard, looks easy to make it yourself
