Yea, but it would be worth it. When you are spending that kind of money to build a masterpiece of a bike, what's a little more?

I wonder if we could start a new trend - sort of a "distressed non-fighter" sportbike look? You know, full fairings, but custom exhausts, clip-ons, forks, wheels, etc.

There are some out there, although, not as popular.


older ZX6 (someone posted this in the F4i section y-day as inspiration as he wants to do the same to his bike)

RC51



SV650 with quite a bit of work done to it






I was trying to find Motohorho's bike with fairings on it. I posted his twin-charged bike a long time ago, and in that time, he put his own custom fairings on it - it looked sort of like an RC8. It was beautiful, but alas, all of his images of it are gone....

And the XBs were more of a naked bike anyways, so does this count?








Or you can go track-prepped with the XBs too



Pretty cool fairing idea (with the ram-air mod)





Tube-framed Buell with some fairings






Man, I miss my Buell - I may need to go get another one.

I think I've posted this before, but these are better pictures of it - you can see how top-notch FOH is in bodywork. That tail light looks like it's painted on!

WTF is that?, I'm counting exhaust pipes (lost track at about 14) ; then I start thinking 4 wheeler, Cardrona Race to the Sky.
Luckily that was when Captain Sensible kicked in and reminded me of my lovely wife and daughters.


Interesting though.

"W" 16 - made out of 4 Yamaha xj 1100s.


It didn't go into a motorcycle, but still, nonetheless, it's impressive.
