Just a thought, would the early SS bodywork fit onto a 2005 bike ? I was assuming it would as I've got an early tank on my later race bike.
I prefer the look of the early 600/750/900SS but like the later 1000 chassis and motor :)

Just do it - plenty of cheap bodywork to be had and you could always try Ricambi-Weiss although the ssie stuff I bought from them was crap. Dom Clegg bought some pattern old-style SS bodywork from someone - he's happy with it. PM him.

Definately want to do it, we were going to buy another 600 which would mean I can rob that of all the road fairings etc so it's just a case of finding a clean 1000 for sensible money :)

I've been looking for one tonight on Biketrader. £4500 is the cheapest I found so far.

I think you might have to do a bit of work; the headlight mounting bracket is quite a bit different, with the mirror mounts further back on the injection bikes

How about this? This is where I think am going with my 800ss racer:

I like the semi-faired look and it should have the benefit of improved cooling for the tweaked motor.

I also like very much that semi fairing (ricambi-weiss seems to have those for sale) but I'm not sure about the better cooling because the original fairings have funnels directing cool air to the rear cylinder.

I do however love the look of the superlight900, so much if I can find a Sl at the right price in mint condiion I may buy that instead !
