That is pretty nice. I can appreciate a naked bike! Was it easy fitting the little front fairing?

I just used an air grinder with a fiber cutting wheel to cut an aftermarket front fairing to the shape i wanted.

I bought this RC salvaged, and being naked one tip over screws up the engine, paint, frame, exhaust. etc.... $250 for a pair of crash cages is well worth it!

I bought a 905 racing crash cage for the RC. Try SPYDER RACING!!!!!! We Carry All Your Custom Sport Bike Parts and Accessories

they offer a ton of cages. One thing though, these cages are made of steel, they add alot of weight to the bike, but in return you get unparalled protection. Also the crash cage i got didn't fit like a glove. I actually had to cut the mounts down to custom fit the cage. It was very crooked when i installed it out of the box. 905 Racing is the only crash cage I found for the RC, just because nobody stunts a RC.

Ok, first off. This bike looks 100 times better than a Tuono. It costs 1/4 the price of a new Tuono. I don't understand why the big 4 as well as the Italians don't offer a 100% naked race bike. Can you imagine a naked 1098R?? Now that would be a bike worth comparing to my custom RC!
