Streetfighter NC29

Post by Tubbygit »

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 :grin:

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.

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 :roll:

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.
