Default I give up "Street fighter"

I went down a few months ago and tore of all the upper fairing, as you know finding replacements is almost impossible. so I've decided to streetfight it but i want to do more than just hang a cruiser light on the front and go as a friend suggested. Any ideas. Pics of examples would help alot.

Its a 94 1000f

Hey Jdiddy,

Start with Josh Carter's bike - a well thought out and executed Streetfighter,

https://cbrforum.com/forum/rides-82/...r1000f-140043/

There's a link to his photo album in the thread as well.

Cheers, SB

Hey Seb, thats one feckin hot looking CBR fighter, I've seen afew, most are not good. Prob's as I see it with the CBR's is that fat rear end, ya gotta dump it from the seat back and start again. Next would be how you tidy up around the radiator area sorting out that mess to make it look half decent. Josh's bike sorts thjose two areas out really well

I did consider it with mine after i dropped it, but gave up and persisted in repairing it back to standard simply cos i thought it was the easier option, and it was the rearer 750 too lol

Mine was a non running project came without any fairings and wanted flat bars anyway, so not a streetfighter as such more a retro naked perfect for me and sounds great with yoshi 4 into 1

Yes, that's a neat looking bike Pilgrim.

I like the gold highlights and dual headlight set-up. Nice!
