Front end conversion
 
Thinking of converting my points front end with a streetfighter end, how easy is it to change the lamps over?

I wouldn't say it was that hard, but I guess it depends on what you start with and what you want to fit. Have you a naked or faired model, are you planning on changing the forks?

I have a faired model, was thinking of taking the fairings off, leaving the belly pan on, putting the twin lamps on the current forks and keeping the current gauges but putting on a short screen, like a street triple.

I don't know how hard it would be to fit the new lights or if it would leave it looking messy with excess wires etc...

So you'll need to change the handlebars as well then, and don't forget the clock will need some form of mounting bracket making.
Mine started life as a faired S model, but I changed the forks as well and the enduro style headlights I've got are pretty much for daytime show, you seriously wouldn't want to ride anywhere at night with them!

Mine already has a set of straight renthals on it which I was going to keep, I was under the impression that Orem do a mounting bracket and backing plate for the clock. Was thinking either of these 2.
