Hey guys, this is my first post. My bike is a 2004, and I am going naked.

Below are pictures of what the bike looked like when I got it. I will post updated pictures as I go along. I will also post links to what I bought in case anyone is interested. If anyone has any questions regarding how I did something, or wants more info, feel free to ask.

If you don't like something, I kindly ask that you keep it to yourself. This is my bike! lol.

If you have advice or something constructive, I'd love to hear it.

Parts should hopefully come in by the end of the week. Today I will try to mock up a cluster mounting bracket template, and I will end up making the final out of sheet metal and have it powder coated.

I like where this is going

If you have a chance, please take a photo/explain on what you do with the wiring up front. These things looks awesome nekid.

Looking pretty sweet. I recently did this conversion as well.

I plan on making this completely reversible, so I am not going to modify the wiring harness. I purchased an H7 connector and an H4 connector, and I will splice that to the new headlight so that I can simply plug the new headlight into the existing connectors on the wiring harness. Below are links and pictures to what I bought, and I will update this thread with pictures to show how I will do this.

Oh, I almost forgot about the mirrors. Surprisingly, for the price, they look and feel awesome. I will post pics when I get them installed. I hope to be able to use my bar end weights instead of the bar ends that come with the mirrors. See pics below.

Here is how they look installed using stock bar end weights (got this picture from one of the product reviews - there are more pictures if you follow the link)

I recently did the conversion. The bike is more enjoyable without the poor airflow from the fairing.

Will you let me know if you can use them with the bar ends? I'm needing mirrors too. It's rather eerie riding and not knowing what's behind you.

You can, you just need a spacer. I will give you more details with pictures when I get to it. I will be working on this today after work.

Can you guys post a few pictures here? I'd love to see how your bikes came out.

My bike has been sitting for 2.5 years. After I wash it I'll post up some pictures.

I have a thread in the street fighter section. My posts focused around what I installed and overcoming the minor challenges associated with the installation. There are photos in the thread, but no beauty shots.

You can also mount the mirrors like this, just need some longer bolts.

How did you mount your cluster, got any better pics of that?

Also, are you a volvo driver?

 

[BucksRider]

After messing around with the mirrors a little bit today, I figured out a way to mount them using the stock bar ends, will post pics tomorrow or this weekend.

Also, I have a gauge cluster mount designed, should be made tomorrow. It will be a simple flat sheet metal bracket mounted to a pair of mirror mounts. The bracket will be sandblasted and powdercoated. See below:

Love the car, and love what you did with the bike, both times.

This was my swede (until a drunk chick destroyed the front end)
