Lookin' really sweet. I'm jealous, I wish I could sit on my couch and look at my bike all day long.

I was going to go naked at the track after I saw what happened with your bike. That and it also looks pretty bad ass. Recently I was talking to a shop owner I know who races at VIR and point summit and he talked me out of it. He said when you go down with a naked bike, the handlebars and front end catch in the ground and it causes a lot more damage. He told me of a guy riding a naked who broke his arm when the bike caught the dirt and the guy didn't let go of the bars. He said bikes with fairings usually don't have as much devistating damage since they tend to slide more.

So I don't know if I will go your route or not, but your bike is turning out really nice.
