Thinking about making my 96 900RR into a streetfighter, questions!!
Hey guys. My 96 900RR was in a low speed drop by a previous owner that bent the upper stay bracket. Until now, other than some cosmetic damage, I haven't had any issues. Recently I noticed that my upper stay (gauges, headlight bracket) started to crack. Today while on a group ride the stay broke completely. Got it home and saw that both arms on the stay broke completely off of the frame. Not in a position to buy a completely new front end for the bike, so I started considering making it a streetfighter, with the possibility to convert back to a full fairing bike. I potentially have a universal headlight from a good friend.
My question is, for those that have done it, what do you do with the gauges? Obviously I can't use the bracket, since it broke. Thoughts, ideas? Where or how can I mount the gauges?
Other than the front end practically falling off, the bike runs great. I am think going this route until winter time, when I can slowly buy everything I need to put it back together, but for now, looking for a quick fix so I can still ride this season.
Thanks in advance.

Hey bro, I street fightered my cbr6. My honda clocks were too big so I'm wiring in a set of zx6r clocks. I'm using the ignition barrel mountings to secure a taylored clocks/headlamp bracket at the top and taylored headlamp stays just under the lower yoke. Its gotta be sturdy but easily done.
Hop this is helpfull.
