Well I'm going thru with transforming my 01 Sprint to a naked street bike.
Here are a couple pics. I'm having it painted black and leaving the frame and wheels the stock silver. I'm trying to figure out what to do with the bellypan ,radiator filler neck and gauges.
Anyone know if the gauges are the same size as the Speed Triple?
That looks pretty cool, but I would think about painting the engine hangers the same black as the engine to blend them in and give the remaining silver frame a cleaner look without those 'horns' pointing down.
Now if they were pointing up........ there could be only one colour!
Get something like the LSL kit to fit a tubular handlebar. The clipons look all wrong.
Lose the grab rail and fit the seat cowl to tidy up the rear end.
I'd also ditch the bellypan, but y'know, personal taste and all that.
Oh, and junk the center stand. Never seen a fighter with a center stand!

That looks better than I imagined. When you first proposed it, I was not convinced, but if you go with Rexxy and Kludge's suggestions, it will look superb. If I ever lose my bodywork, I'll follow your lead rather than ditch the bike or spend a fortune on plastic.
I am looking to purchase a rear seat cowl (from a board member here), paint the engine hangers (remove the fairing hangers). I just threw the bike together real quick to get a couple pics.
I'm glad you mentioned the LSL kit for the handlebars. I was hopeing there was another type of bars I could use. Any pics or site of the bars?
Thanks all,
