I love the Mugen conversion, but the others are bit too radical for my taste. It's my long-range plan to do a mild cafe racer conversion.
I have so far been able to restrain myself from buying the aluminum bikini fairing from webike -- primarily because my wife would crap a very angry kitten if I spent $500 on it. Hopefully it'll come to the States soon for a more reasonable price, or at least somebody will make another, cheaper version of it.
The gunfighter seat I really love, but haven't been able to find it on aftermarket sites at all. Again, have to wait.
As for the exhaust, I'm going to use Fuzzy's temporary shorty conversion when I can make the time to get out in the shop and do it. Picked up most of the parts last weekend, just haven't got a Round Tuit yet.
For the rest, I'm happy to leave it as-is. While down-turn bars would look very cool, my back wouldn't like them one little bit. I went away from sportbikes a few years ago because the low clip-ons and high tank hump were making riding even short distances an increasingly uncomfortable chore. Would probably help if I lost about 20 pounds, but that would entail giving up beer, which is NOT happening. I'd be even more unpleasant company without the moderating effect of alcohol in the evenings.
