Any other shots of this? Like from the front or front and looking down the side?

Looks like maybe some small shrouds to cover the radiator and then taper back toward the front of the rider seat?

for some reason I didn't take more than that picture but just do a quick google search of the XJ6 and that's exactly what it'd look like.

I personally dont care much for the naked style. I think if the gas tank was shaved down some it would look a little less "hunch-backish"

Fairings = A good thing!

I really like the naked look, but that's just me. I had considered taking my fairings off but all my driving is on the freeway basically, wouldn't that make it alot less comfortable to drive at higher speeds?

I would like to find some clip on style handlebars for mine though, which don't seem like they would fit with the front bodywork. So maybe it would be a trade off, more wind buffeting for more comfortable tuck in posture?

i got an xj6 naked coz i didn't like the fairing. i thought about puttin clip ons on the ( im obsessed with puting clipons on everything) but i think, like Novaspec said earlier, the tank looks to " hunch backish" also the rear sets arn't far back enough and actually makes the position awkward and un-natural riding possition.
next time your out on the straight take your clutch hand off the bar and just put it low to the forks where your clip ons would be and imagine that was ur riding possition and you'lll see what i mean.

btw as for wind resistence a do 17 miles motorway driving and its not too bad. just after 85/90mph are you actually feel the breeze.

i wouldn't rule it out tho. i think naked is best!

I love the look, but without a "package or kit" for the plastic pieces to hide some things I dont think it would be a good idea. Also without a windshield kinda puts us tall guys out.

With a few brackets that would look awesome IMO. Just needs an insturmentation mount a little closer up and a new mirror mount or something.

Where did you get a new fairing? I have been looking everywhere and can only find them as a set. I need a right fairing badly and dont want to go naked.
