Naked if you can hide the coils and other small bits. But I do like fairings as well.

if you go for no fairing , polish the underside of the engine as I think with them bars you will be showing it to all as you mono wheel down the street

I would go naked if you used the other engine mounting framework, as that looks nicer :-)

Maybe worth trying the Tyga seat unit on to see what that looks like on this bike too.

So I,ve been waiting on an ignition switch too arrive which has finally , but now the head scratching starts as it doesn't fit into the space I have available and the std switch neither fits either... funny thing is the switch fitted the Std top yoke but not the billet yoke Oh the joys of swapping components.....I,m gonna have too sort this conumdrum out before I press onto the next phase of the build…..Guess I,ll have too track down the std top yoke....its here somewhere repeat SOMEWHERE.....

So it turns out the offset for the ignition switch on the billet yoke is wrong , thus not allowing the ignition too fit so ive found the std yoke and will get a spacer made up too allow me to use this instead , once I,ve done this I,ll have it vapor blasted n I,ll be ready for the next part of my build.....

Aargh , 2 steps forward 3 steps back , I now have a bare frame again as the ignition has thrown up another surprise resulting me having too strip it back bare again...easy fix but annoying all the same...

So the build is returning back too a Streetfighter as per original heading with a couple of new changes , first change is the fitment of these R6 Forks fitted with Ohlins internals , I,m awaiting on a few nuts n bolts but then can restart the build..
