So asking if anyone has done it or interested in doing it is asking for an opinion?
Asking if someone is interested in doing something like this to their bike is a yes or no question. If proceeded with the question of why then that is where the opinion on the look comes in.
....
There is a difference between having an opinion and being rude.
Imho:
Asking for a yes or a know, in special with 'any thought'
at the end and in an extra row, is indeed asking for opinions!
Both ways.
If someone don't want the 'No's', write in in the question/topic. Please!
It's not expectable, that people read it as 'only yes and interested in doing it have the permition to answer.'
Also with a clear entry post, you can pull the 'just failed topic' answer and let the unwanted negative input go away.

Aside, that the looks is kind of nice at the front and rear (from this angle), I see it unfinished, in special the original seat, too.
Interesting and good looking is the fitting of the original rear end, ok, the lights, to the short version of the rear, now.
And the seat could be easily upholstered to a nic.., eh, other looks.
Now coming to the definition, that only crashed bikes with fairings get converted:
How many people/bikes do you know, the reason wasn't a 'oh f@#k, the fairings is so expensive, the exhaust also, let's make it a street fighter!'?
I can't recall any bike, that became a street fighter from the base of a naked version. And asking people, who loved their Sport bike by the looks before, why they changed to the street fighter design, was sometimes the honest 'it saved a lot of bucks and now it looks very different'.
But: they would have never changed it, without the slide on the track/road.
Lucky, money can't be the reason for our CBR's, right? All plastic is cheap, so any conversion could have cost more, as rebuilding it, like it came from the factory.
Btw., midgeinc, congrats to the 'I skip hospital and wanna go direct to temple' S1000. Great bike, I drove one for a weekend, last month in europe. I think, I would never change to sport/track-mode, on thai roads. Ok, I'm a puss, I have to admit.
But you had the idea, to convert your now sold 250R to a street fighter.
Since the 300R came out, there are options.
So why didn't you do it?
:wink2:
And last but not least, opinion or being rude.
Out of my pov, that is a flexible border, in (not only) this forum 0
And it all started with the 'I want positive feedback', but not marking a 'only' in the entry post, here.
Come on, guys, taste is different. If you show yours in public, someone will tell you, your taste is, eh, not a good one!
