Default Finnaly fixed my fighter!!!

Alrigth took me forever (almost a year) to get the headlight/gauge thing together. The first pics are how it use to look. I knew it was ugly I was too busy with college, it was my last semester (woot!!!) so I didnt have the time or tools to fix it up. But been out for a few weeks, so i was able to do some wrenching and cleaned it up pretty nicely. Comments welcome!

The OLD




The NEW






Thers a few things I could clean up a bit more. But I'm mostly satisfied.

and moved the headlight in ALOT. looks much cleaner.

still say ditch the guages, but that's coming from a guy who hasn't owned a bike with a speedo in 10+ years, so it's just my opinion.

That and I got rid of the whole fairing stay. Which was a pain...Look closer.
I might actually see if I can put the windscreen back on to cover up the guages, gotta play with it a lil more...

Nice improvement, but it still looks like it has too much plastic on it to be a "street fighter".

With a new tail end, would look pretty cool. Nice work,though.

Ok can someone please explain "WHAT" exactly a street fighter stands for? I mean I know that streetfighers never have plastics but for what reason?
