How to build a streetfighter

Do I have to buy aftermarket plastics to do that?


No I've got an older bike '93 zx6e and the plastics have seen better days. I had them all off a while ago for some maintenance and thought it looked a lot better. The problem is my gauge cluster is huge and mounts to my front subframe. So should I make a custom mounting bracket or what. Its still gonna look like crap from the front.

yeah I was planning on getting a cyclops or diamond like on that page but my problem was mounting the gauges without the front fairing stay... do these lights kinda hide it or what?

Re: How to build a streetfighter

i have the 75$ one and i night i can see but it's actually dimmer than your normal low beam would be on a bike; but it's just something to make you street legal i ride with them at night all the time; you just can't go flying in corners or nothing.

how did you mount your gage cluster behind the acerbis light? what kind of bracket did you use or make? do you have pics of it? is it just zip tied on there?
