well, shes done. all in all, i LOVE it. i spent a little under 200$ and about 4 or 5 hours total work time, i dont really know because it was down for almost a month waiting for parts. riding the naked bike is so much better. i reeeeaaaaally like the aggressiveness of the clubmans. and you cant deny, shes DEAD sexy. enjoy  :cheers:












any questions?  better pics will be up soon

never ride faster than your guardian angel can fly... or 10 mph over the speed limit if you like your license.

slide your controls and grips in and cut the extra bar off. it would look better i think.

PS.  about the 3rd... I'm not working that day, so I'm trying to make sure I've got nothing else going one.  I'll let you know.   :thumb:

To me, the front wheel looks really big in this picture. Probably just the angle.

I like fairings on a sportbike, just not the f fairings. I just don't think they flow well with the lines of the bike. They're too big and awkward looking. Just my opinion, take it for what it's worth.  :cheers:

Might wanna take off the GS500F decals on the back then! As far as my taste I love my faired Flick! :)

IMO the faired bikes look alot better. I hate the new gsxr's and every other sports bike. theres next to no fairing on them. n fairing = no custom paint. My favorite bike is the first generation busa's so much fairing so big and bubbley looking. next would be the gsxr srad series

bluelespaul

i like the way it looks both ways actually, later i might put the fairings back on if i get bored. 

An, do you know anyone else around this area that rides? a guy from my dojo rides an older CB750, he might wanna come too.

never ride faster than your guardian angel can fly... or 10 mph over the speed limit if you like your license.

LOL, I thought the same thing when I saw it.  In fact, my wife hates the look of the bike for that very reason.  Then again, she likes the Ninja 500r so what does she know? 

For the OP, the bike looks really good.  I was thinking to turn mine into a naked when I decide to move up.  Maybe go the streetfighter route.
