Stripped Naked

[tnbouces]

Took a little time last weekend and stripped off the fairings and headlight off my bike. I always wondered if my bike is gonna look good naked. Well, here are some pictures.

I have attached any new lights to it. just wanted to see how it could look. and perhaps figure out how much work would be involved. Think the naked look is gonna work?

I really like our bike naked. The other couple of nakes bikes on this site looks great too. I'm not ready to part with my fairings just yet. But who knows

looks pretty badass if u ask me... but, i'm not ready to go naked just yet either.

but, it's great to know that we have that option and it looks cool

it's funny my bike with <300 miles is sitting in the garage in that same state waiting for some lighting changes.

pretty dramatic change isn't it?

God damn that looks good. Get some buell style double headlamps on there and it would look sick IMO. I'm going naked as soon as I get situated in my new living accommodations with a similar plan in mind. Looks great.

looks cool but you loose the ability to tuck and get out of the cold.


i ride as much as i can and that includes the colder weather and this wouldnt be practical for me.... maybe if my ride to work wasnt so far..


Sharp look though

I have an XJ6 N, naked... I ride all year round, in all weathers. Fairings are for wimps. :uk:

Better add a headlight like this...Im seriously considering doing a cafe/street fighter look on mine but just no sure

I love naked bikes, but it needs something between the tank and that big open area IMO, it's a little to open looks like something is missing IMO. But yeah I ride year round and in all weather and I don't miss a fairing at all. I have a acerbis cyclops headlight, but instead of mounting it directly to the forks I made a dash/speedo mount that puts it about 7" off the forks, since it sticks off the front end the fly screen on the headlight actually keeps almost all wind off my hands and almost all the way off me too, the top half of my helmet is the only part that catches wind but i can lean down and tuck my arms in and feel almost 0 wind

Yup. Unles you're racing them, fairings are useless. I've just dropped my XJ6 off for its 6000 mile service - I've only had her since August!

Just in time, as well - the oil light flashed on briefly on my way to the garage. Timing, or what?

I can forgive a fly screen, just to deflect wind blast a little...
