I bought my SFS because it is a naked bike. Why cover it up - even if it is with CF?

I suppose if you were to use the bike on track, the bellypan might be required; otherwise, I agree with the previous posts, this is a naked bike for a reason, and adding body parts doesn't make sense.

ok bring on the flames.. I am not saying this is good looking, but I don't mind it as that is the best you can do if you want a functional fairing on a SF

I understand the sentiment of I bought a SF because it is naked.. I bought a SFS because it is one of the most modern (at least it is ore modern than any of other bikes in suspension, braking, engine, electronics) high performance naked - that said I would like a functional nose fairing for commute like I have on my monster.. a nose fairing does not kill a naked. guzzi v11 sport, monster previous gen, triumph speed/street triples, MV brutale .. you can go on...all look fine with a small nose fairing and they are still a naked bike. The streetfighter has a design with the headlamp being low and already raked versus being parallel to the fork angle that makes it challenging. what I see in this photo is the best you can do with a SF if you want a nose fairing. the only other option I have seen is someone fabricating their own which was neat.
