Going naked !!! - Daved and Confused - 05-08-13
Hello Folks,
Okay, Friday like a twat I dropped my pride and joy - 03 red Fazer.
I bought her as a cat C when she was only 2 months old and using only new or very good used parts built her up.
I was going to claim the insurance but decided I want to keep her as they would write her off.
I have basically broke all the front body work. She runs fine so I want to run her naked until I can pick up the required bits and pieces to put her back to her former glory.
I need some suggestions on how some of you guys have gone about converting your bikes to naked.
I'm not keen on some of the aftermarket headlights and cowls, I'm thinking more of a model that is naked already.
So some suggestions for the obvious which needs done;-
Headlights and bracket
Clock bracket
Indicators
Mirrors
Thanks in advance for any suggestions.
Dave

You need:
1) Headlamp bracket mounts from a Suzuki Bandit
2) To make some extra long nuts for the handlebar clamps, this will allow you to fix two brackets to hold the clocks
3) Brackets from the fork mounts to the headlamp.
4) A small cockpit type fairing to cover the back of the clocks.
If you need more detailed info I'll try and pen it out for you and take pictures etc.
It's actually quite a straightforward job.
I converted mine ten years ago, and it's been fine.

Its easy enough to do - a bit trial and error to get every thing where you want it - but not hard to do

I like that, quite a lot.

Sure I've seen some decent pics of FZS600 naked with the FZ1 headlamp too...
Having just dropped my bike (yet again) this route has certainly crossed my mind too.
