Theres a few damaged ones for cheap around here. I thought if it wasn't a lot of hassle I could buy the bits I needed off eBay to get it turned into a faired one.

Ah OK that kinda makes sense, I think though the cost savings by buying a damaged one would be outweighed by the extra parts you'd have to buy and the hassle of doing it.

if it was cheap enuf you could do it, ive fixed 2 from ebay bits and people floggin stuff on here, its just waiting for the parts to come up and how fussy you are with condition of those parts.

Yeah thats what I was wondering about. Oh well if i can find a second hand restrictor for a carbed bike I might get a curvy and get it resprayed. If not and i'm ok with work I might buy me a brand spanker

You could save a lot of time by going for that naked with 'clipons' look. Then get a dual naked headlight to save of fiddling with the loom to make it ready for one light. The pointys uses the same clocks on N or S so there is no need to worry about that either. If you keep the clipons then you aint got to worry about 'throttle/clutch/choke' cable lenghts so it could be done.

Its almost enough to make me by a pointy.

Still get the wind blast though. Im on a naked with clip ons and the wind still gets ya and them crappy fly screens dont help one bit

At what speeds?

The naked looks better for both pointy & curvy anyway.
