Streetfighter NC29
Here's some photos (assuming the links work properly) of my recently acquired streetfighter.
The previous owner removed the panels and painted it black, all I've done is the headlight & clocks really).
Makes for a brilliant urban / short distance commuter. Cheap too, the bike and all the bits on it have only cost me about £750 and it's far better than any normal commuter bike (CB500, etc) you could get for the price.
Anyway I await the howls of "sacrilige" from the purists

Re: Streetfighter NC29
Yes Im a purist I suppose but each to his own and your bike does look nice in its streetfighter guise.
One thing that always looks nice about the NC29 is its tail section, a work of art in my opinion. Now the handful of streetfighter NC29s I have seen retain this tail section but I think in the instance of the streetfighter conversion I think a different slimmer tail section would look nicer. Funnily enough due to the shape of the main frame I think the NC29 is well suited to the streetfighter naked look and with the right rear end would look fantastic.

Re: Streetfighter NC29
I agree, I do like the standard rear end, but a slimmer one would be nice
I am tempted to put a Tyga rear end on it, however considering the cost of the bike as a whole (and that I'm going to use it as an all weather commuter) I can't really justify spending that kind of money on something purely cosmetic on it.
will have to keep an eye out for a cheap one on ebay.
Where's that lottery win when I need it

Re: Streetfighter NC29
i think it works really well!
I agree to a certain extent about a slimmer tail unit, but for the price i think it looks well.
