Hello Gav
Easier to trade the bike for an unfaired one if you want the naked look.
To be honest, if I were you (and im not so I understand that this is probably not of any interest)
I would keep the faired bike. I had the naked 600 when I was new to the game and wished I had bought a faired one after a few damp cold rides.
Summary
1 keep the bike
2 if you want naked, just part ex it along with the rattle.
Al.

I think that's good advice. Undressing the S Divi is more involved than it first appears, it is not just a matter of bolting on the clocks and headlight. You also need the N top yoke and headlight bracket/stay. When you have acquired and fitted all that you will still have to chop the fairing fixing brackets from the frame and touch up the paint where it was removed. But, if you really want to do it. If you really want to do it. It is do-able, just more involved than it looks.  |

I did it! I bought a 7" headlight and aftermarket brackets and then added a cheap aftermarket speedo. The picture shows me half way through the job, total cost for the change was around £100.  |

He did, but as I class him as a friend, I just couldn't do it I'm overwhelmed, I've gone all gooey, with a lovely warm feeling all over . Mind you, it's probably just incontinence. |

You have to be pretty dedicated to ride a naked fast without any screen. I have a small fly screen on my XJ6N and it makes a huge difference |
