Hello all, I'm a noob to the site and for that matter streetfighters. Got a great deal on a 97 Suzuki GSX600F Katana, that is missing fairings so......... streetfighter Kat. Unfortunatly, I'm in Germany and the Kat's in Florida so I get to buy the parts and Fred SR (Dad) gets to do all the fun stuff. Already bought a new headlight and the brackets to install it. I am open to all and any help and tips, but I am a broke ass. So budget tips would be best. Thanks for reading my ramblings, I'm just excited!!:D

Hey Spanks. Welcome aboard mate. Lets just see what we are dealing with here:

The teapot is a tricky one. Got any photos of the actual bike stripped?

I've just begun hounding my Dad for some pics, he isn't very computer savy though. I've seen a couple streetfighter Katanas, she is not the prettiest girl naked. But I only got the bike for $200 USD, and it already stripped. I really don't want to spend money getting and then prepping and painting, you know.

This is what they look like naked, it's not mine but I just wanted to represent the look.http://www.streetfighters.com.au/forum/upload/963329733123740.jpg

That doesn't look too bad, pair of flat/drag bars and it's basically there
