Another Naked/Cafe Ninja

Yahhh!! Finally decided to go the naked route. When I bought this bike the person I bought it from cracked the front fairing and it was barely hanging on. So it was either get a new front fairing or go naked and I am so glad I went with naked. Thank you @Chicagobob @Jono for answering my questions and thank you especially too @Motofool for helping me get the bike running. It's definitely not as nice as chicagobob's but I absolutely love it!

And yes, that last picture is Instagram filtered. Lol!

I think the tank on pregens lends itself better to a naked look.

I know exactly what you mean now with the WC clip ons. It's a completely different ride. So much more of an aggressive position.

I think so too but I have to say that Ivan pulls it off really well though.

Nice bike!

May I ask what did you use for speedo and tach? And do those bar end mirrors fold in? I want to do something similar to my ninjette, but I usually park her in a narrow hallway and it's common that I scratch the handle bars on the wall...

Thanks Peter. I bought this speedo from Dime City Cycles. They have a nice one with indicator lights on it. I didn't get a tach since I wanted to save some money but I can always get it later if I wanted.

My bar end mirrors don't fold but you can get some on ebay for really cheap. If you like the look of the bar end mirrors you should get them. I really like mine. But like you were saying with your situation, I would look at mounting mirrors on the perches like ChicagoBob did.
