Am debating whether or not to convert my pointy into a streetfighter and have seen loads of SV's with MT03 headlights which look fantastic, but was wondering whether FZ8 headlights are just as easy to convert to?

Any info is welcome, thanks :)

If yours is faired then there's probably some wiring you'd have to hide so it may not be as simple as finding a suitable headlight bracket. There are a few thread on here at the moment about such things. Have look around.

Quite. But the advice is good:
To be a 'streetfighter', (what a painfully crass word that is), don't forget it must be constructed by someone who doesn't know one end of his Mole grips from the other, also it must be a complete bodge and always be 'in progress' so never actually running. But most of all it must, in the unlikely event it ever moves, have awful suspension and handle very very badly. Bonus points for a truly dreadful finish. All the ones I've ever had the misfortune to be requested to work on have followed this formula very closely.

Any motorcycle that functions anything like right and/or is actually well done thus cannot be considered a 'streetfighter'.
Also:

'Streetfighter': Where a mechanically incapable owner has ruined a perfectly good bike, and annihilated its value even though they think the exact opposite.

Why would everyone want to have a bike that looks the exact same as the next how boring streetfighting is about taking a perfectly working bike and putting your own stamp on it.

Looks like you've found the missing key to the old thread archive mate. :p
