Okay, so you all know I went from this:

to this:

Well, I got off work early today, and I was bored. So I grabbed a hack saw, dremel, and a spare set of lower fairings I had laying around. About 1.5 hours later I had the following:

It turned out better than I thought it would.

I also have a modified windscreen in the works, but it will take a little longer due to the fiberglass. :D

another thing u might think about doing is taking a little off of ur front fender? just a suggestion, but IMO it would also help it look a lot better!

Thanks. I had thought about the fender, but wasn't too sure. I may try it sometime.

Dual headlights! I need to find a picture of my old Bandit. The bug eyes rock.

If you are ok with cutting, trim that tail section down where it wraps on the frame. Just a thought. Dare to be different!

Here is the slightly updated front end of the Kat.

Yes, the windscreen looks a little hideous, but it is mostly a prototype. Plus when you don't have to spent a dime, why not?

The short stalk turn signals are from Performance out in Republic, and were pretty cheap too.

You should really poke around on some of the European streetfighter websites,some pretty neat things going on in that scene that I think you would like.

Any links to those? I have been looking at different fairings and some other ideas, but the more ideas I can choose from the better. :D
