A buddies friend is wanting to get rid of his 07 650r for $1k. The bike is pretty beat up but sound like it is mechanically sound (gonna go for a test ride soon). The gas tank and fairings are banged up which isn't too big of a deal. I am sooo ready for a bike again it hurts. I am really really tossing the idea around on doing a street fighter conversion on it. IE. remove the fairings, replace the headlights, tuck wires, ect. I think it would be fun, but I have apprehensions as I've never done that before.
I think they look pretty good if done right. Here are a couple of examples.
here is what the model year looks like with the fairings.
I might trade one of my big revolvers for it straight up. What do you guys think? How bad is going naked? I'm pretty decent at fabrication and have a few ideas but won't really have anything planned until I get eyes on the bike
