    We should have ourselves a competition. I'm building one too. I'm starting from bare everything though. Gonna be a trick streetbike bike, and a killer on the racetrack too.

    It's all water under the bridge, and we do enter the next round-robin. Am I wrong?

    No MX bars That makes the streetfighter look IMO. A nice set of TAG or ProTaper fat bars

    my winter project

    Some ideas:

    Graft the headlight assembly from a Buell Lighning on the front end

    Dual headlights from Buster's: http://www.busters-accessories.co.uk...cts.asp?id=449

    A single round headlight with a Buell or Ducati flyscreen

    Napolean bar end mirrors

    Suburban machinery bars: http://www.suburban-machinery.com/hbindex.htm

    A cattle pusher for the front fender

Machined brackets & mounts would be a must for whomever decides to get one of these. I think they come with flimsy plastic ones. That bulb on the right is a halogen as well. looks HID but it's not. search for Acerbis on ebay & you'll find some streetfightered bikes with this setup
    i got a guy doing custom machined brackets for me already so if i need some more i am good to go.

    Word of advice - do yourself a favor and ask people who have a given light setup for their .02 on its performance, fit and finish.

    Some people have had bad luck with actual lighting performance, fit/finish, etc. I can't comment directly on anything specific because I have no actual experience with the products.

    Forum.SVRider.com has reams of info on people sticking odd lighting configurations on their bikes.

    I like that fighter you posted... and I'm not usually a fan of the streetfighter look.

    The 600RR is probably my favorite 600 right now and a damn good platform to start from.

    No The FZR is, in fact, liquid cooled. But, since you mentioned radiators, I'll need to find a bigger one that is curved, unlike the old "square" type like is on it now.

    I think this project is beginning to take shape......
