I'm still planning on going streetfighter... - Yamaha FZ6 Forums - International FZ6 Motorcycle Community Forum

...even though I went with the "wee"strom instead of the Fizzer.

Has anyone seen a naked one before? I found this picture, think it could be pretty sweet.

Here's another one, probably a little more realistic for my DIY aspirations.

I'll probably go ahead and keep her stocked up for the fall just so I can get to know her before I get her naked...

Then save up some cash and do some serious work over the winter! I'll keep you guys informed.

Sorry OKstate, you still a tiger....

OKstate311 · 08-31-2008, 05:03 PM

Is that a good thing or a bad thing?

**FZ6inNH** · 08-31-2008, 05:06 PM

It is if you don't have the aftermarket parts available without significant modding on your part.

OKstate311 · 08-31-2008, 05:09 PM

Well it's kind of interesting, as there's not much aftermarket stuff out there for the V-Strom. However, it's a close cousin to the SV650 so a lot of the parts for that bike will fit the V-Strom with a little custom fab'ing and some elbow grease!

im sure it will turn out nice. Ebay and a close cousin of the bike's parts will be your friend.

That headlight and instrument cluster looks clean and sweet. I'd consider it as a mod for my Fz6, GRUMPY

i have not seen a naked wee strom, and from those pics, i personally don;t like it, looks too tall in the front, try to find something that drops the light down a bit.

+1 I don`t think that bike will fit a streetfighter look very well without some major changes... but it has to look good to you, so go for what will make you happy and good luck!

OKstate311 · 09-03-2008, 12:59 PM

I definitely agree about lowering the front. The front wheel is actually larger than the back wheel, so the first thing I'll do is take the front wheel down a couple inches to match the back. And yes, the light/mini-fairing I put on will be much much lower than those two pics.

That first pic makes the bike look kinda horse-like, no?
