Plan on making the front radiator black, maybe getting a carbon fiber exhaust, and getting integrated turn signals.

Still deciding on if I want to spend the money on plastics :cool:

IMO, if you want a more 'streetfighter-ish' look; consider removing most of the headlight portion.

If I ever decided to pull the lower fairing, I'd seriously focus on changing the shape of the exhaust system. Make it hug the bike a bit more...

You can make a ton of money by selling your old body panels, too. That should be plenty for some nice aftermarket geedunks. I will be watching this thread closely! Impress me! :)

I take it you took a spill then, eh? lol! I guess thats mentioned in another thread here someplace, but you still should be able to fetch a pretty penny for half of your fairings.

But what I would do... cut the tail off right behind the driver seat with custom LED taillights. Put a hugger over the rear wheel, get one that fits REALLY snug over the back tire.

I would put a small shroud around the radiator or paint the sides of it black. Don't do something silly like cover it in undercoating or rhinoliner, lol.

If you don't want to do a hugger, but do cut the tail then delete the front fender too and go BARE WHEEL! Sexy!

Definately reform the exhaust to better fit the lines of the engine. I think the Area-P is much more attractive, you might want to look into that, or cover up the stock one with a modified belly pan from an SV650 or maybe you can cut your old side fairings into a belly pan fairing and retain a few of the familiar Ninja 250 lines in a more minimalist setup.

Once you get the top fairing off the bike will look completely different and maya couple of new things to mind.

Have a look at some of the bikes over on customfighters.com, you'll find lots of other great ideas for your bike.

Not visible in the picture...but the front wheel does have the fender removed :D . So fender chop, exhaust, and headlight are the main things I'll be searching for. Hopefully updates soon :D

I was just wondering... what's up with the face? Is that supposed to be the custom led tail lights? :D
